Understanding the Student Conduct Process

As members of the Illinois State community, Illinois State University expects its students to act as responsible members and citizens both on campus and in the local community. In the event that an incident, or conflict, arises in which the Code of Student Conduct is in question, the Student Conduct Office administers the student conduct process for Illinois State University. Please note that the Student Conduct Office holds students accountable for their behavior both on and off campus.

When a report of a possible Code of Student Conduct violation is received, the student(s) involved are contacted and are required to meet with a staff member, or Case Manager, to share their version of the event(s) in question. The nature of the incident determines who a student may meet with in this initial intake meeting, whether a staff member from University Housing Services, Student Conduct, and/or a Conflict Resolution Specialist.

Students are encouraged to contact the Student Conduct Office if questions arise about the conduct process. Students are also encouraged to review the Code of Student Conduct for information regarding the entire conduct process.
