MISSION

The Office of Student Judicial Affairs (OSJA) exists to promote the community standards of Old Dominion University.  Through our interactions with students, we hope to foster a climate of personal and academic integrity that facilitates the success of all University community members.

OSJA oversees the administration of the student conduct process (also known as the "student judicial process") when students are alleged to have violated University policies related to either academic or non-academic misconduct.  OSJA provides education to the University community and serves as a resource for anyone with inquiries related to student conduct.

PHILOSOPHY OF STUDENT CONDUCT ADMINISTRATION

It is important to note that our student conduct process is designed to be primarily educational in nature.  Through our interactions with students, we strive to support the educational missions of Old Dominion University and the Division of Student Affairs.  Toward this goal, our process is designed to provide students with opportunities for dialogue and reflection.  We encourage students to abide by the Honor Code and conduct themselves in accordance with the tenets of the Monarch Creed, as this document outlines the ideals to which each student should aspire as a member of the Old Dominion University community.
