Student Conduct in the Community
Learn about the resolution process
The Student Conduct resolution process, modeled after national best standards, allows us to achieve a balance between accountability and education. This helpsÌýstudents reflect on and repair any harmÌýcaused, and create a personal plan to minimize or eliminate harm in the future.

Resolution meeting notice
Once a student is referred to SCCR for allegedly violating the Student Code of Conduct,Ìýthey will receive a letter inviting them toÌýscheduleÌýa resolution meeting. This letter is not a penalty, sentencing or decison letter. However, if they choose to not move forward with the meeting,Ìýthe university will still make a decision about the potential violation.

Talk with their resolution specialist
Resolution specialists are there to guide students through the resolution process. Students should feel free to ask them any questions they have about the process. This is also a good time for them to consider who if they want to sign a , which would allow their family or guardian to view their conduct records.

The resolution meeting
The resolution process follows due process, which means the resolution meeting is the student's chance to tell their side of the story. Students may bring an advisor, such as advocates or attorneys, to any resolution meeting. However, advisors are not permitted to speak for or on behalf of the student during any phase of the process.

Resolution outcomes
If a student is found responsible for violating the Student Code of Conduct, they may be assigned resolution outcomes such as educational classes, restorative justice or administrative outcomes that can impact their student status. Learn about the possible resolution outcomesÌýtheyÌýmay face.
The CU Restorative Justice Program (CURJ) is all about repairing harm and making things right. The program’s goal is to help students recognize that the mistake they made impacted more people than just themselves.
Restorative justice allows students to share their stories with others in the community, including off-campus neighbors. Together, the student and those impacted address the harms and impacts of their actions, and develop a plan to make things right.
We encourage community members to volunteer with CURJ if they want to make an impact on the student journey.
