The Judicial Council is a volunteer group of individuals from which a hearing board is selected to hear cases of alleged violations of University policy as listed in the student handbook. The hearing boards make decisions on whether or not a policy was violated and the sanctions that should be imposed. The University Judicial Council determines sanctions ranging from Disciplinary Probation and Educational Programs up to and including Expulsion from the University. Any undergraduate or graduate student in good standing with the University is eligible to apply.

The Student Judicial Coordinator is a paid position (12 hours/week) in the Office of Judicial Affairs. They conduct administrative option hearings, weigh evidence, determine responsibility, and decide appropriate sanctioning for student(s) who violate university policies. There are two positions available. This is an elected position through the Student Government Association. Applicants must have and maintain a 2.25 GPA and have no current judicial record to be eligible.
