All students are required to maintain an accurate and current permanent address and phone number with the university registrar.
Following notification of charges, respondents are strongly encouraged to and shall be given the opportunity to meet with a university official for the purpose of explaining the university student conduct process and discussion of the charges.
Charges may be resolved by administrative decision pursuant to rule 3335-23-09 of the Administrative Code or a hearing pursuant to rule 3335-23-10 of the Administrative Code.
Failure of the respondent to respond to the initiation of charges or schedule a preliminary meeting within the deadlines provided by the university shall in no way prevent the university from scheduling and conducting a hearing in the absence of the respondent.
