-
- The right to request a copy of your individual Student Conduct Record.
- The right to not give testimony against oneself.
- In an Informal or Formal Resolution, the right to question any individual providing information to the University Student Conduct Board or Hearing Officer. Furthermore, in non-Title IX Hearings, the University reserves the right to provide alternative effective means of questioning a witness in cases where direct questioning is not possible or prevents the hearing from being conducted in a civil and orderly manner.

- To be accompanied at a hearing by an advisor of their choice and up to two family members.
- To be present at the hearing during the presentation of any evidence or material on which a recommendation will be made. If a Student, Student Organization, or Student Group fails to attend the hearing, it will be held in their absence.
- To receive a decision based solely on the evidence presented.
- To receive a written notice of the decision and sanctions, including rationale for the decision from formal hearings.
- To appeal decisions resulting from a formal hearing.
