The Resolution Process outlined in the Code of Conduct is designed to be a part of the educational mission of the University, one that focuses on upholding the commitments and values inherent in the Sewanee Community.
Information about the resolution process can be found in the links and pages below. The Office of Community Standards encourages students to read and become familiar with not only the Code of Conduct and policies included within the EQB: The Guide for Living in Community, but also the information included here which provides more context and information about the process. Questions can be directed to the Office of Community Standards at communitystandards@sewanee.edu.
The Resolution Process is designed to promote the growth and development of individual students and Recognized Student Organizations (RSOs). A detailed overview of the resolution process is included in the EQB: The Guide to Living in Community. A summary of each step of the process is available here.
The Code of Conduct outlines specific rights and responsibilities for students and Recognized Student Organizations in the Resolution Process.
The decisions made by a Conduct Officer or Student Conduct Board related to responsibility or sanctions can be appealed, provided that one or more of the reasons for appeal is relevant to the case.
Educational Conferences and Hearings are official parts of the University’s resolution process for potential violations of University policies. Students participating in an Educational Conference or hearing may have questions about what to expect and how to best prepare.
