Informal Hearing Process
The Director of Student Conduct or his or her designee shall attempt to informally resolve the alleged violation of the Pensacola State College Code of Student Conduct with the student or recognized student organization. The purpose of the informal hearing process is to review with the student or recognized student organization the alleged code of conduct violations, the hearing forum options, the conduct process, possible sanctions, and to answer questions. During the informal hearing, the student or recognized student organization will be given the opportunity to accept responsibility for the alleged violations. If the student or recognized student organization accepts responsibility, a disciplinary sanction may be implemented. Disciplinary sanctions will be agreed upon by the Director of Student Conduct or his or her designee and the student or recognized student organization involved. The resolution associated with this process is final and cannot be appealed. In the event resolution to the alleged violation of the Pensacola State College Code of Conduct cannot be reached during the informal hearing process, the matter will be referred to the formal process for resolution.
