Advisors

Recognizing that participating in the Judicial Affairs Process can be a challenging experience for any student, the Office of Judicial Affairs encourages the student to seek the assistance of an advisor.

An advisor must be a regular administrative official, regular faculty member, or student of the University. As used in this paragraph, the words "regular" shall have the same meaning as defined in Human Resources Policies HR-05. A list of trained advisors and their contact information will be provided to students. This list can be found at the following link: Faculty and Staff Advisors.

The advisor, upon request of the student, may: (1) advise the student in the preparation and presentation of a defense; (2) accompany the student to all discipline hearings; and (3) advise the student in the preparation of any appeals.

The advisor shall not assume responsibility for conducting the defense of the accused student, but rather assist the student in his/her opening and closing statements and questioning of witnesses

If the accused student is charged with a criminal offense by the courts, he/she may have an attorney present as well as an advisor. The attorney is limited to advising the student about answering questions that may be self-incriminating. The attorney may not question any individual, raise objections or otherwise participate in the hearing.

The students of UPUA Legal Affairs have been trained by the Office of Judicial Affairs to serve in this role, and will continue to do so. The following is the contact information of UPUA Legal Affairs:
