INFORMATION FOR

I have an upcoming disciplinary hearing. Should I get a lawyer?

A student may seek advice from anyone he/she wishes. If a student has been charged criminally, we recommend that the student seek professional legal advice. The North Carolina State Bar has resources to help find an appropriate licensed attorney.

For students going solely through the university's disciplinary process, the use of disciplinary advisors -- staff and students trained specifically in helping students through the on-campus process -- is strongly encouraged. A list of disciplinary advisors can be found here.  [A student, though, may bring any advisor with him/her to a hearing before the Undergraduate Conduct Board, but the advisor must be a member of the university community (current faculty, staff, or student)]. Experience has shown that students who tap into the services of the university's trained disciplinary advisors are well-prepared for a hearing and have a much better experience with the disciplinary system than those who do not.
