Procedure
The Student Non-Academic Misconduct Procedure seeks to facilitate student learning and development, foster interpersonal competence, and support accountability and resolution in student conduct matters.
Hearing Information
A Student Conduct Hearing involves the student, the Hearing Officer or Hearing Board, as well as an advisor, if the student chooses to bring an advisor. Students are encouraged to seek advice from the Student Ombuds Office in matters related to student non-academic misconduct.
Choosing an advisor
Students may bring an advisor to their hearing to act as a support person. The advisor does not represent the student, and is not considered a party to the hearing.
Student Ombuds Office

The Student Ombuds is available to offer advice and coaching for students entering the student conduct process. At the request of a student, the Student Ombuds may also attend the Hearing to provide support. The Student Ombuds may also assist in preparing an appeal.
Graduate Students' Association
The Graduate Students' Association Vice-President Academic is an elected representative of the graduate student population. The GSA VP Academic is available to support graduate students reported in violation of the policy and can accompany students to student conduct hearings.
Students' Union
Representatives from the Students' Union are available to assist undergraduate students and to accompany students to student conduct hearings.
