When a Student Conduct Case Could Lead to Suspension or Dismissal
The need for experienced advice becomes particularly important when an allegation could result in University suspension or dismissal.
A serious disciplinary sanction can interrupt a student's education and potentially affect graduate or professional school applications, licensing, employment, athletics, scholarships, or other future opportunities.
Students facing significant sanctions should take the process seriously from the beginning rather than waiting until after an adverse decision to seek assistance.
