Information sessions will take place via Microsoft Teams. If you are unable to access Microsoft Teams, please contact our office to request a Zoom session.

Confidentiality 

Not all resources listed are confidential. A confidential resource is one that can discuss your concerns with you privately and is not obligated to report to authorities. Legally, there are a few exceptions to confidentiality; those exceptions are the abuse of a child or vulnerable adult and imminent harm to self or others. Most of the non-confidential resources do have policies in place to keep your information as private as possible. If you are concerned about confidentiality, please make sure to ask about policies before disclosing any information you do not want to be shared.

Student Handbook

STUDENT HANDBOOK FOR COMMUNITY STANDARDS

STUDENT HANDBOOK FOR COMMUNITY STANDARDS

Maintaining a safe, healthy, and inclusive campus is the entire WSU community's responsibility. We contribute to a community which encourages and educates everyone to make positive choices and share messages of our values.

Occasionally students make choices that put those values at risk. The community standards process is designed to support those students, uphold their rights and responsibilities, and hold them accountable for behaviors that conflict with our community standards.

An overview of the community standards process

The following outline applies to the majority of reported incidents. The Center for Community Standards will help you to understand your unique situation.

An incident was reported and the community standards process begins.

Information will be gathered and you will be contacted (through your WSU email) about the next steps, including your information session. Until a decision is made, you are assumed not responsible for the reported incident. Review a step-by-step outline of the community standards process.

If the incident is related to Academic Integrity (cheating, plagiarism, etc.) the process is a little different. See an outline of the academic integrity process here.

Reviewing your rights and responsibilities.

You will benefit by actively participating in the process and being informed of your rights and responsibilities. Learn how to share your experience and information related to the reported incident.

Use your resources and seek support.

You don't have to do this alone and we have resources available to help. Information sessions, trained advisors, campus resources, accommodations, and language interpreters are available.

Attend your hearing.

Your hearing is an opportunity to review the reported information and share your experience before a decision is made by your Conduct Officer or the Conduct Board.

Possible outcomes.

After your hearing, you will be notified of the outcome by email. If sanctions are assigned, they are meant to be educational and not to impede upon your ability to graduate or continue your education. The range of potential sanctions is dependent on the incident.

Option to appeal.

If you do not agree with the decision of a conduct officer, conduct board, or instructor, you may file an appeal.

We're here to help

We understand this can be a challenging time. Your success and education is our priority and we are available to support you or connect you with additional campus resources. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us. 

Advisors

ADVISORS

ADVISORS

Going through the community standards process can be overwhelming and at times, confusing. An advisor can help make the process easier, serving as a mentor or sounding board. Your community standards advisor is different from your academic or career advisor. You may choose to have an advisor with you during any stage of the process. WAC 504-26-020

Your advisor can contact us to get information about meeting dates, your status in the process, and any assigned sanctions. They can also attend meetings and your hearing with you in a supportive role. It’s important you know that your advisor cannot represent you or speak on your behalf, and they do not serve as an attorney or legal counsel.

There are two advisor options you can choose from:

1. An advisor of your choice who is not involved in the reported incident. For example, an advisor could be a WSU faculty or staff member, or a community member, as long as they are not a witness to the reported incident.

2. A WSU faculty or staff member who has volunteered to serve as an advisor in an unbiased role. You can find a list of these advisors, along with their profiles and contact information below. You may reach out to them directly and at any time.

These volunteer advisors are selected and trained to serve students within the community standards process. They are not employed by the Center for Community Standards or the Office of the Dean of Students.

You will need to submit an advisor registration form so we know they will be working with you.
