How long does the disciplinary process take?

There are a number of factors that contribute to the length of time that it takes to process a case, including the time of year in which the Office of Student Conduct receives the report of alleged misconduct.

Students who receive a letter of investigation usually have 5-7 business days to submit a written statement to the Office of Student Conduct. Generally, the conduct officer will contact the student and notify him/her that the statement has been received.

After the statement is submitted, the judicial officer will gather additional information for the case, which may take between one and three weeks (or longer), depending on the circumstances surrounding the case. An accused student can always contact his/her conduct officer regarding the status of his/her case or to offer additional information. In most cases the conduct officer will respond to the student indicating receipt of the student's statement.
