STUDENT JUDICIAL PROCESS – By voluntarily joining the residential community, a student assumes the responsibility for abiding not only by the Code of Student Responsibility and university policies that are applicable to students, but also by the policies set forth in this guide. Residents are expected to exercise good judgment and consideration in maintaining a living environment conducive to the achievement of the educational mission of the university. This includes accepting responsibility for one’s behavior at all times and respecting the rights of other individuals.
Any violation of the Code of Student Responsibility, university policies applicable to students or the policies set forth in this guide could result in judicial action through Residential Education or the Dean of Students Office.
Residents should consult the undergraduate handbook for a full explanation of the student judicial review process
tinyurl.com/DePaulStudentHandbook). The student judicial process in the undergraduate handbook is the basis for the Residential Education judicial process.
In addition, the following is an outline that highlights certain aspects of the Residential Education Judicial Review Process:
1. An incident occurs. The assistant director for student success (AD-SS) receives documentation of the incident. The AD-SS will conduct an initial review to determine if there is reasonable cause to believe that a violation of policy has occurred. If the AD-SS determines that a policy violation may have occurred, the AD-SS will notify the resident of the alleged policy violation with a letter of judicial referral within five class days of receiving the documentation of the incident. involved
2. The resident receives a letter of judicial
referral. The letter of judicial referral will inform the resident of the policies that may have been violated and indicate whether the matter will proceed to an administrative hearing or a judicial board hearing. If the resident acknowledges a violation has occurred at any time during the process, the process may immediately move to the sanction process.
3. After receiving a letter of judicial referral, a resident has YOUR ACTIONS
five class days to contact the AD-SS to schedule a hearing. If a resident fails to schedule or appear at a hearing, a decision is made based on the available information and the student is held accountable for that decision. If the resident has any questions about the judicial review process, it is the resident’s responsibility to bring these questions to the AD-SS.
4. The resident attends a hearing. In accordance with the applicable hearing procedures, the hearing officer or board determines if the resident is responsible for violating the policy.
5. If the hearing officer or board finds a resident to be responsible for a policy violation, the hearing officer or board assigns appropriate sanctions.
6. Within five class days following a hearing, the resident receives a decision letter indicating the outcome of the hearing, describing the sanctions, if any, and indicating the required completion dates for the sanctions. If applicable, residents must complete all assigned sanctions within the time frame designated in the decision letter. Failing to complete judicial sanctions may be treated as a separate policy violation. Until the sanctions are completed, the judicial case remains open.
7. The appeal process for student disciplinary findings can be found in the Undergraduate Student Handbook (
tinyurl.com/DePaulStudentHandbook). All appeals should be directed to the individual identified in a student’s decision letter.
In order to protect the health, safety, security and well- being of the university community and its members, Residential Education reserves the right to immediately impose interim sanctions upon a resident.
Residential Education judicial boards are comprised of selected residents as well as representatives from the resident advisor staff and the Residence Hall Council (RHC).
Records of judicial cases that result in sanctions from Residential Education will be kept in a resident’s Residential Education judicial file. Residential Education judicial records are destroyed five years after a resident moves out of on- campus housing. Residents with knowledge of policy violations or illegal behavior are encouraged to report, in writing, to their designated residence director.
