Anyone who believes they have been subjected to acts that violate his/her rights, welfare or individual dignity. The Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards (SCCS) will review written complaints and determine if there is a potential violation of the Student Code of Conduct.

When a complaint has been filed indicating that an alleged violation of the Code has occurred, SCCS will send a letter to the involved student(s) via their @shockers.wichita.edu email. This letter will contain important information regarding a student’s informational meeting.

SCCS will make a reasonable effort to contact a student regarding a pending conduct matter. However, students are responsible for checking their @shockers.wichita.edu email account, maintaining up to date addresses, and phone numbers.

Violations of the Student Code of Conduct will not appear on a student’s official academic transcript. However, violations become a part of a student’s educational record, which is managed by Student Conduct and Community Standards.

A single violation will NOT ruin one's life. As an educational institution, the primary goal of the campus conduct process is to help students learn from their mistakes. Conduct records are confidential and generally cannot be released to others without the Respondent's consent.

Every student is responsible for knowing the policies of Wichita State University. View the Student Code of Conduct.
