Student Conduct Process
The Office of Student Affairs assumes formal responsibility for issues of student conduct. This includes:
- Counseling students involved in student conduct matters.
- Processing communication and maintaining a central file of student conduct records.
- Maintaining student rights and responsibilities through equity and accountability to University policies.
- Mediating conflict between students.
- Collaborating across the university to ensure student safety and success.
National Louis University focuses attention on the development of a student’s potential by encouraging self- awareness, fostering a respect for the experiences of others and encouraging cooperation with the expectations of the University. Therefore, the Student Conduct Process provides opportunity for students to:
- Reassess those aspects of their personal behavior that necessitated University intervention.
- Increase their awareness of the expectations that the campus community holds.
- Accept responsibility for modifying their behavior to better meet these responsibilities.
- Continue their education and development through their student conduct experience.
Such a program requires a positive regard for the welfare of the individual student and a rational commitment to resolving student conduct situations in a constructive and educational manner. Additionally, sanctions may be imposed as an expression of the community’s interest in achieving a positive living and learning environment.
