  1. A complaint or concern is brought to the attention of the Office of Community Standards (OCS).
  2. The incident in question is investigated by the OCS.
  3. An Investigative Report is filed with the OCS.
  4. The associate vice provost and dean of students determines how to address the complaint:
    • Complaint/concern moves forward to a Formal Hearing
    • Complaint/concern moves forward to Cooperative Resolution Discussion.
    • Complaint/concern is resolved administratively by the dean of students.
    • Complaint/concern is referred to a more appropriate university office for action.
    • Complain/concern is dismissed.
  5. RSO is notified of the administrative actions imposed by the associate vice provost and dean of students (if any).
