How do students find themselves in the Office of Judicial Affairs?
Any member of the University community may initiate a complaint against an undergraduate student with the Office of Judicial Affairs. If the circumstances surrounding the complaint indicate that a violation of the Code of Conduct may have occurred, disciplinary charges will be brought against the student. Alleged Code of Conduct violations are generally reported to the Office of Judicial Affairs by Residence Life staff members, University of Delaware Police officers, faculty, staff from the Information Technology Center, and the Newark courts. Students will know that they have formal charges brought against them because they will receive electronic notification (sent to their University e-mail account) which will include a list of the pending charges, a short description of the incident and instructions for completing a pre-hearing.
