Student Conduct Process

The Office of Community Standards assumes formal responsibility for issues of student conduct. This includes:

1. Counseling students involved in student conduct matters.
2. Processing communication and maintaining a central file of student conduct records.
3. Maintaining student rights and responsibilities through equity and accountability to University policies.
4. Mediating conflict between students.
5. 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:

1. Reassess those aspects of their personal behavior that necessitated University intervention.
2. Increase their awareness of the expectations that the campus community holds.
3. Accept responsibility for modifying their behavior to better meet these responsibilities.
4. 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.
