Judicial Affairs

Our Office of Judicial Affairs administers the student disciplinary system at ASU. Simply put, we investigate and adjudicate alleged incidents of student misconduct and academic dishonesty. Likewise, we enforce the Student Code of Conduct (as outlined in The Pilot), Traffic Violations, Academic Integrity Policy and educates our campus about community standards and other ethical issues. Upon enrolling at ASU, our students are provided a website link to The Pilot, which contains a compilation of university, federal, state and local policies and regulations. Each student is held responsible for official information published in The Pilot, as well as the same in the University Catalog and other important university communications.

Our office oversees our initiatives around the Student Affaires Crisis Assessment Team (SACAT) and Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT); and, receives complaints on student conduct, directs such investigations as deemed appropriate and determines the disposition of cases within the university’s jurisdiction. These cases are uploaded and managed in a secure electronic database called, Maxient. In the matter of developing responsible student conduct, primary reliance is placed on student development, guidance, counseling and admonition (via education, rehabilitation/restorative justice and when necessary, punishment). In circumstances where these preferred means fail, the university uses the disciplinary authority inherent in its responsibility to protect our educational and institutional purpose, mission and vision. In the exercise of this authority, safeguards are observed to protect all of our students from unfair imposition of penalties.
