The student conduct process is educational in nature. When a student is found responsible for a university policy violation, sanctions may be required to foster an opportunity for the student to reflect on their decisions and identify future behaviors that are consistent with university and community expectations. The misconduct process assists students in developing skills and applying information in future decisions to reduce the likelihood of negative consequences and promote socially responsible behavior.
