Introduction to the Student Judicial Process
From the 2006-2007 Student Handbook: (view)
"The University of South Carolina Aiken, as an institution of higher education, accepts its obligation to provide for its students, faculty and staff an atmosphere that protects and promotes its educational mission and guarantees its effective operation. To accomplish these goals, the University must require certain standards of conduct. All students, faculty and staff at the University share the responsibility to respect:
- the fundamental rights of others as citizens;
- the rights of others based upon the nature of the educational process;
- the rights of the institution;
- the rights of everyone to fair and equitable procedures for determining when and upon whom sanctions for violations of University standards should be imposed.
The Student Judicial Policy is the essential component in guaranteeing due process for students at the University of South Carolina Aiken. This policy describes procedures for addressing Violations of the Academic Code of Conduct and Violations of the Non-Academic Code of Conduct, including violations by Student Organizations.
Each of these processes is addressed in a separate section of this document. Procedures for redress in cases of sexual harassment are outlined in the USC Sexual Harassment Policy, a copy of which is available at the Student Life Office, the Office of Human Resources, and the circulation desk of the USCA Library."
For more information, please view the 2006-2007 Student Handbook. The Student Judicial Process is located on pages 17- 36.
