Student Conduct Board

Members of the Student Conduct Board undergo training yearly in preparation for their role as panelists in a hearing to consider whether a student or group violated a university policy; and, if so, determine appropriate (an) appropriate sanction(s).

The Office of Student Conduct strengthens personal responsibility and accountability through investigation and resolution of alleged violations of university policies. We encourage honesty, integrity, and respect within the undergraduate community as promoted by our honor code, the Duke Community Standard. Any student named in a report of a possible violation of university policy is presumed to not be in violation of such unless the student accepts responsibility for the violation(s) and/or the disciplinary process makes such a determination.

The 2020-2021 edition of The Duke Community Standard in Practice: A Guide for Undergraduates ("DCS Guide") is now available and is distributed to all students who live on campus.
