University Hearing Board
The University Hearing Board is an integral part of the campus community and strives to support the mission of the department and the larger WCU community. Comprised of students, faculty, and staff, the University Hearing Board reviews student conduct cases and is the most formal process in the University's conduct system.
The University Hearing Board provides an opportunity for students to serve the University community, develop life-long skills in facilitating and resolving conflicts, and promote civility and citizenship within the WCU community.
University Hearing Board members gain a variety of skills through their experience. Participation on the University Hearing Board will be included on a student’s cocurricular transcript and is a unique leadership position.
Additionally, Board members will:
- Have an opportunity to make an impact on students by assisting them in their growth and development.
- Gain experience in analytical and critical thinking, decision making, and understanding the principles of due process.
- Become more familiar with University policies and procedures.
- Uphold community standards that support our commitment to civility, including maintaining an environment that affirms the worth and dignity of each member of our community and which supports the ideals of an inclusive society.
Students interested in applying for the University Hearing Board need to complete a Hearing Board Application. Applicants must be in good academic standing (2.5 or higher GPA) and free of any disciplinary restrictions. Training is required prior to serving on a case.
Interested staff and faculty members should contact the Office of Student Conduct.
