  3. What if the police are involved?

  4. Do all witnesses who submitted statements have to appear at the review?
    1. It is up to the discretion of the Student Conduct Officer who can or can not appear at the review. It is encouraged that any witnesses attend the review. SAGE will only review written statements from witnesses if they have been notarized or written under the supervision of a SAGE employee. 
  5. How long does it take for a SC case to go to review?
    1. After receiving the first notification from SAGE of their case, you have 5 days to schedule an Administrative Resolution Meeting (ARM).  If you do not schedule an ARM within 5 business days from the date of the notice, the Student Conduct Officer will provide the you, via email, a second opportunity to schedule a meeting within an additional 5 business days from the date of the second notice. After the ARM, the student conduct review will be scheduled within 5 business days.
  6. What if I have already graduated and I have an ongoing SC case?
    1. If your ongoing SC case may lead to your suspension or dismissal from UCSD, a temporary hold on your transcripts will normally be placed by the relevant Dean or SAGE. In addition, the Executive Vice Chancellor may direct that the transcript and/or degree of a Respondent not be awarded until the process has completed if they become eligible to graduate during the student conduct process.
  7. Will my family be notified?
    1. They will not be notified. Student Conduct records are confidential. Only certain University staff including the SAGE, your college Dean’s Office, the Residential Life Offices, or those with a legitimate right to know, as defined by the Family Educational Rights to Privacy Act, have access to your student conduct records.
