Prepare for Your Conduct Meeting

Before your conduct meeting, it is recommended that you review the Student Code of Conduct, particularly the following sections:

Advisors: Any student involved in the conduct process has the right to be accompanied by one (1) advisor throughout the student’s conduct process. The Advisor cannot be involved in the incident(s) being addressed, this includes as a witness or an impacted party.  This individual may be a parent/guardian, partner, lawyer, staff or faculty from the University, mental health provider, and/or friend. Advisors are not permitted to speak for, or on behalf of, the charged student or the alleged victim during any phase of the conduct process. However, with permission from the conduct officer(s) or the Conduct Appeal Board, advisors may make a statement on behalf of the student and/or ask questions of the student to present relevant information. If a student chooses to bring an advisor to the meeting, it is the student’s obligation to select an advisor whose schedule allows attendance within the time frame designated in the student conduct notice. The Office of the Dean of Students or conduct officer(s) is not obligated to reschedule the meeting to accommodate an advisor’s schedule.

Prohibited Student Conduct: The conduct listed below is prohibited, as are attempts to commit conduct prohibited by the Code.  Prohibited conduct may be committed via electronic means, including but not limited to, computers (such as  use of the Internet for email or social media), any type of phone (such as calls, text messages, instant messaging, or the Internet), or any other means of electronic communication. These provisions should be not construed, and will not be implemented, to deny any student any rights protected by the United States and/or Colorado Constitutions. At UCCS, there are 25 prohibited conduct behaviors. View here.

Conduct Process Procedures: The Office of the Dean of Students will follow the procedures outlined in the Student Code of Conduct. View here.

Campus Resources: The Office of the Dean of Students maintains a list of campus resources.

You will likely be asked the following questions during your conduct meeting:

• What impact has this incident had on you?
• Who else has been impacted and in what way?
• How does this effect your academic and career goals?
