Student Conduct FAQs

The Student Resolution Center strives to make navigating the conduct process as easy as possible, but we understand that you still may have questions. We’ve gathered some of our most frequently asked questions here to help, but please don’t hesitate to contact us using the contact information at the bottom of this page if you have a question that is not answered here.

  • Within the next ten (10) business days, you will receive an outcome letter from your Hearing Officer sent to your Ram email address. You will be notified in writing if the outcome is delayed.
  • If found responsible for prohibited conduct as outlined in the Student Conduct Code, the Hearing Officer will determine appropriate sanctions based on the incident’s severity, impact on others, and the student’s or organization’s previous conduct record.
  • Please be mindful of all sanction deadlines in your hearing outcome letter.
  • If you do not complete your educational sanction by the stated deadline, a “hold” is placed on your registration. The “hold” will prevent you from being able to register or withdraw from your classes.
  • If you have questions, once you have received your outcome letter, please email the Student Resolution Center at srcenter@colostate.edu.

If you do not complete an assigned disciplinary sanction by the deadline stated in your outcome letter, a registration hold is placed to remind you to complete it.

Your outcome letter states what specific documentation is required for your sanction to be considered complete. If you have not provided that specific documentation (an advisor’s signed business card, or an email of completion for an online tutorial, for example) your sanction is considered incomplete.

A registration hold prevents any changes to your class schedule. You may not add or drop classes while the hold is in effect. It does not change any classes for which you are currently scheduled. It does not prevent you from graduating or receiving your diploma or transcripts. If you leave or graduate from CSU with a registration hold in effect, and choose to re-apply, you must meet with SRC before your application will be considered.

Each student is unique, and we consider each student’s situation individually, on its own merits. We will not discuss your roommate’s case with you, since that would violate their privacy.

Although there is no additional charge for many of our sanctions, certain DAY Programs include an administrative fee to defray the costs of intensive staff time, services, and support. (Fees for similar services available off-campus are considerably higher.) Your hearing officer chose that sanction as the most relevant to your situation.
