Although you are expected to comply with all conduct procedures, your failure to respond or appear as provided in these regulations will not be construed as an admission of guilt. You may request to have your case heard individually. As a resident, you may use the RHA Resident Advocate as a resource, or any of the other resources available to you as a student at the University of California. Services include the Student Advocate's Office, the Academic Ombudsman, and the Attorney for Students. Telephone numbers for these offices are available on page 68 of the Guide to Student Living in the Residence Halls.
All hearings are closed unless the student involved requests an open hearing.
This request must be submitted in writing five business days before the scheduled hearing. Periodically, the Manager of Judicial Affairs and Compliance may be present at hearings. The Peer Review Board consists of students living in the residences with a charge to maintain community standards. You may be assisted at a hearing by an advisor. In rendering assistance to you, the advisor may only address you and not the hearing officer or hearing body.
