How to help your Student through the student conduct process
Before your son/daughter arrives on campus:
Have an open discussion with your student about the process of making good decisions,
taking responsibility for their actions, and responding to peer pressure.
Be open to discussing difficult topics such as substance abuse, intimate relationships,
and other risky behavior.
When your son/daughter have been accused of violating the Student Conduct Code:
Speak with your student regarding the situation. Make sure that you listen carefully
and critically.
Make sure your student knows the student conduct process. Your student should review
the Student Conduct Code and the student conduct process.
Discuss with your student your expectations for their behavior at University.
Brainstorm with your student appropriate resources for help and support (e.g., alcohol
education, personal counseling, etc).
Brainstorm with your student ways to move on from the decision they had made.
Be firm in your approach but always keep the lines of communication open.
