Grand Valley State University strives to provide a safe and healthy environment where all students can successfully learn and grow. It is our goal to help students develop a greater sense of self-awareness and to provide support on their paths toward becoming engaged and productive global citizens.
We recognize that issues may arise when students make choices that conflict with the values and policies of the University. We work with students to address these issues, while focusing on what may be causing the behavior. We aim to inform students about all aspects of the conduct process, and ensure fair treatment of everyone involved.
Our office serves as a resource for the entire campus community - students, faculty, and staff.
