Overview of Student Life Judicial Process

In most cases, when an alleged violation of the Code of Conduct occurs, a report is submitted from Campus Police, the Office of Residence Life and Summer Programs, Contract Security, or one of the other offices within the Department of Student Life. However, any member of the Presbyterian College community may report an alleged violation by contacting the Department of Student Life at extension 8378 or by submitting a written report to the Dean of Student Life.

The Judicial Team, composed of the Vice President for Student Life, the Dean of Student Life, the Director of Residence Life and Summer Programs, and the Director of Student Activities and Greek Life, meets weekly as necessary to review all cases submitted in the previous week. After reviewing each incident, cases are assigned to the appropriate hearing officer for further action.
