SC 101: Core Skills

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

This module focuses on two primary goals. 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.

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 in this module will gain a deeper understanding of the differences between and appropriateness of various pathways to resolution while learning how to effectively facilitate those pathways.
