Advisor

The Student Conduct Code affords all students involved in the University conduct process the right to an advisor (see section (7)(c)3). An advisor can be a friend, family member, faculty member, attorney, or anyone a student chooses. Student Government sponsors a Student Defender who can also advise students going through the conduct process. Regardless of who a student chooses to advise him/her, the advisor cannot speak for a student in the hearing unless authorized by the hearing body.
Students will need to complete and submit the Role of Advisor form to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities two class days prior to their hearing in order for an advisor to be present at the hearing.
