NKU Student Conduct Process (text version)

If you receive a letter asking you to set up a meeting with a NKU staff member about a student conduct issue, this is what you can expect:

Step 1 - Initial Meeting

Check your NKU email and schedule a meeting with the assigned staff member. If you don't, we won't get to hear your side of the situation.

Step 2 - Information

We will remind you of, and navigate through, NKU Community Standards & Student Rights with you.

Step 3 - Investigation

We will ask you questions about your involvement in, and knowledge about, the reported incident.

Step 4 - Resolution

You can resolve most cases in your initial meeting, or choose to have an Administrative/University Conduct Board hearing.

Step 5 - Moving Forward

You should complete any sanctions by the deadlines established. You may appeal Administrative/University Conduct Board decisions.
