SC 101/201/301 Modules:

To successfully complete a module and receive the Certificate of Completion, the participant must attend all sessions of the module. 

• "Module" refers to the entirety of a course. There are five modules. 
• "Session" refers to the individual sessions in each module. 

Each module will have eight hours' worth of sessions. To receive a completion certificate, you must attend all sessions. The participant may sign up for multiple modules in a semester. Please note that none of the sessions will be recorded to be watched at a later time.

SC 101: Core Skills

Recommended for: Conduct practitioners who are newer to the role, or seasoned professionals who are newly taking on conduct as part of their role.

This module focuses on two primary content areas. First, participants will develop an understanding of the history and legal issues of the profession, especially in terms of due process and case law. Secondly, practitioners will engage in basic skill development around interviewing, resolution, equity and accessibility in the process, strong record management, and collaborating with campus offices.

Note: Four hours of this module will be asynchronous (recorded) and four hours will be synchronous (virtual).

Faculty: Dr. Joe De Gearo and Dr. Matt Khoury

SC 101: Pathways to Resolution

Recommended for: Conduct practitioners at any level seeking more ideas and development around alternate resolution (sanction) outcomes.

This module focuses on the effective use and development of multiple pathways for resolving matters within student conduct processes. As the field of student conduct has evolved over time, so have the tools used by administrators to resolve cases through different formats. 

From informal measures to a formal hearing, restorative practices, and proactive efforts to establish environments where students can thrive, there are a myriad of ways student conduct professionals can address concerning behaviors and alleged violations of policy. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the differences between various resolution options; develop skills to determine when each option is appropriate; and determine how to effectively facilitate those pathways.

This module will focus on the operationalization of crisis and risk management (e.g., a threat assessment analysis) on campus or in an organization. Sessions will include forming a crisis response team, developing an effective risk management plan, and communicating and collaborating with internal and external stakeholders. 

Particular attention will be paid to expressive activity (e.g., protests, freedom of expression) on campus or in organizations; intersections with Title VI; incidents involving athletics, student organizations, or criminal investigations; campus violence (e.g., active shooters); and managing confidentiality during crises. The module will also provide instruction and tools on avoiding/minimizing liability, responding to media, and managing the impacts of trauma and secondary trauma on the campus or organization community.

SC 301: Policy & Procedure Review: An Equity-Informed Approach

Recommended for: Conduct practitioners who are more seasoned in their role and have foundational or intermediate experience with equity issues, experience with project management and large-scale institutional or organizational changes, and decision-making around policies and procedures. Note: This module is capped at 20 participants.

The 301 level is a new offering in Spring 2025. This highly requested module will focus on preparing and implementing an equity-informed revision of your policies and procedures.

Sessions will include: forming an effective plan to review policies and procedures, including identifying and changing biased language or practices; creating buy-in from internal and external stakeholders (with particular attention paid to buy-in from executive leadership as well as Boards of Trustees or Regents); supporting and managing advocacy and student rights; assessment as an equity tool; and not only avoiding bias but actively seeking to incorporate justice to ensure an accessible and equitable practice. 

While some time will be spent addressing current state legislation and how to create a campus with belonging, it is recommended that practitioners enrolling in this module have some autonomy related to equity-infused change.
