The conduct system at Virginia Tech educates students about appropriate behavior and fosters a community in which academic success can occur.
The conduct system is an educational tool with two main objectives:
-to hold students accountable for unacceptable behavior
-to modify those behaviors deemed unacceptable by the university
The university conduct system strives to address unacceptable behavior in a manner that informs students and guides them toward a greater sense of personal responsibility and more mature and acceptable community standards.
Students have an integral role in the creation, review and the adjudication of rules of conduct. We encourage any interested student to contact the Office of Student Conduct if you are interested in becoming more involved.
The Office of Student Conduct utilizes student committees that represent a peer-review option to an otherwise administratively-run hearing. The boards are composed of undergraduate and graduate students who hear cases on a weekly basis. The student conduct committees (SCC) have the same scope of authority (meaning they can sanction someone for anything ranging from a formal warning to permanent dismissal) as any other hearing officer.
Members of the 2008 Student Conduct Committee
We recruit and train new participants annually. The selection process typically begins in early January with a paper application. Candidates will be asked to participate in an individual interview process. Those chosen for the boards (the main criteria being evidence of integrity, a GPA> 2.50, and lack of an active judicial record at the time of application), are then trained and go to work during the following fall semester. Applications can be found under "forms and documents" on the Virginia Tech Panhellenic Website.
