Minor Case
Minor Case
If a student receives an Administrative Hearing notice describing the alleged violations as "minor", it does not mean that the alleged incident is insignificant or inconsequential. Rather, it means that the alleged behavior and/or prior misconduct by the student or student organization does not warrant the consideration of a suspension or expulsion from the university. If that student or organization is found responsible for the violations in a minor case, the sanctions will range from Disciplinary Reprimand to Deferred Suspension and may include other educational sanctions and/or requirements and restrictions related to the incident.
Resolving a Minor Case
To resolve a case of minor nature, students and student organizations will most likely meet with an administrator in the Office of Judicial Affairs for an Administrative Hearing. Students receiving an Administrative Hearing Notice are given 10 business days to schedule and attend a hearing.
For more information related to Minor Cases as outlined in the Student Disciplinary Regulations, please review Section 5.6.3.
