UNC Charlotte Office of Student Conduct

The Office of Student Conduct promotes personal responsibility and encourages civility, integrity and a sense of community among UNC Charlotte students. The purpose of the student conduct process is to maintain a campus community conducive to a positive learning environment. Consistent with this purpose, intentional efforts are made to foster the personal, social and ethical development of those students whose behavior is in conflict with University expectations, both in and out of the classroom. The desired outcome of the student conduct process is to provide an educational opportunity by which individuals or groups can recognize the consequences of their actions and be held accountable for their choices. The Office of Student Conduct provides a venue for this learning, and also serves in the role of advocate and resource for students who have been victims of crime, illness, harassment, or other crises.

As part of their individual responsibility to the University community, all UNC Charlotte students are expected to be familiar with their rights and responsibilities as outlined in The Code of Student Responsibility, regarding behavior outside the classroom, and The Code of Academic Integrity, regarding behavior inside the classroom.

Student Conduct Process

The Dean of Students Office has two full-time staff members that act as hearing officers to adjudicate violations of University policies and procedures – the Associate Dean of Students for Student Conduct and the Assistant Dean of Students. Students may sign a Mutual Resolution with the Dean of Students Office, or have their case heard by an Administrative Hearing panel made up of students, faculty and staff or by Student Court, which is a peer conduct review system that is part of the Judicial Branch of the Student Government Association.
