Student Conduct Board Training – On-Demand Training

Maintain a Fair & Impartial Conduct Climate

Student conduct board training is an annual requirement on most campuses. It goes beyond simply “knowing the code of conduct”. Board members must be trained in a variety of areas, including subtle things like “putting duty in front of friendship”, “knowing when it is appropriate to recuse yourself from a case”, “understanding the concept of treating every student the same”, “holding other students accountable” and “peer pressure”. Although many student conduct administrators don’t like to do training, it is imperative to a well-run process.

Our seasoned presenter discusses what you need to know to train your conduct board so you can avoid missteps, ensure board members understand their role and students’ rights, and remain compliant.

We’ll provide an outline for student conduct training to help save you time and effort, ensure you are meeting compliance requirements as efficiently as possible, and help you maintain a fair and impartial conduct climate.
