& PROCEDURES
Housing staff members are expected to report any event
that occurs in the university housing communities. An incident
report is a written account of an event or situation by the person
who has the earliest and most direct involvement with the
incident. Charges of the Student Honor Code and Student Conduct
Code or Community Standards violations originating from an
incident report are considered alleged pending completion of the
student conduct process. Any member of the housing community
and university community can report behavior that is inconsistent
with the Community Standards. If the alleged misconduct occurs
in or around a residence hall, or apartment complexes complaints
should be brought to the Area Coordinator, Residence Director, or
other Housing staff member.
All student conduct procedures are designed to minimize
disruption to the housing community. When an incident takes
place, the following conduct protocol occurs until the case is
concluded with the final decision.
If a formal complaint is lodged against a student, usually
through an incident report, a student conduct administrator
is assigned to consider charges against the student. A student
conduct administrator will be assigned according to the severity
of the situation, previous conduct record, and the residence
community where the violation occurred. The Student Conduct
Administrator may be a Graduate Community Coordinator,
Area Coordinator, Residence Director, or the Associate Director
of Housing for Conduct and Community Standards. In some
situations, a case may be handled by the Office of Student
Conduct and Conflict Resolution.
The Department of Housing and Residence Life strives to create a
positive learning environment where residents treat one another
with respect and conduct themselves responsibly, consistent
with the Community Standards. To promote this environment,
the Department of Housing and Residence Life will administer an
equitable and judicious conduct process grounded in education,
ethical decision-making and community responsibility.
N O T E : In certain circumstances, a student may be removed
from housing before a student conduct meeting has been held or
following a hearing where removal was imposed and an appeal
is pending. An interim removal is imposed to ensure the health,
safety, or well-being of members of the residence hall/apartment
community or to preserve property.

ROOM SAFETY CHECKS
Room Safety Checks are conducted during the first few weeks of
most semesters. During this process, appropriate residence hall
staff members will check the condition of the room, check for
fire safety violations, and assess the wellness of the resident.
Staff members perform these inspections per specified
procedures and are acting under the authority granted to them
in conjunction with the terms and conditions of the Residence
Hall Agreement that you and/or your parent(s)/guardian(s)
signed.
Residents will work with the appropriate residence hall staff
member to schedule the room safety check appointment.
Residents are always encouraged to check with staff members
ahead of time regarding any questions about what is permitted
with regards to fire safety rules and regulations.
During room safety checks, residents will be asked to show the
entirety of their room/individual bedroom to ensure it meets the
Community Standards. If any violations occur the appropriate
residence hall staff member will inform the resident to unplug/
remove items from the room as soon as possible.
If violations of Community Standards are discovered
during room safety checks (or at other times), residents may
be subject to the student conduct process. Residents are
encouraged to talk with roommates regarding fire safety
practices and related behavioral issues. Depending on
the circumstances, all residents living in a room, suite, or
apartment can be held accountable for violations that are
discovered within the room.
RESIDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
Residents with disabilities should notify appropriate hall staff
in advance so additional assistance during emergencies can
be arranged. Students are responsible for being aware of fire
evacuation routes.
