Office of Student Rights &
Responsibilities (SRR)
SRR oversees the administration of all
GW’s academic and non-academic student
disciplinary systems
Emphasizes civility, integrity, and personal
responsibility
Non-Academic Student Misconduct
Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities (SRR)
Addresses significant non-academic student misconduct which may
lead to Loss of Housing, Suspension, or Expulsion through formal
disciplinary hearings
Office of Civility & Community Standards (CCS)
Addresses incidents of minor or moderate non-academic student
misconduct, which may result in an administrative record or a
disciplinary record
Focus on decision-making conversation through Warnings and
Disciplinary Conferences
Two Important Take Homes:
Alcohol Medical Amnesty Program
“Good Samaritan” Policy
Parental Notification
By working together, students, parents and the university can guide a
student’s success on GW’s campus both inside and outside the classroom
and get the appropriate resources to help students in need
SRR staff encourage students to contact their parents when they are
involved in an academic or non-academic disciplinary matter
Under the law, GW is limited in how we communicate to parents under
the Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA)
Academic Integrity Matters: The law does not permit GW to communicate with
parents without the student’s written consent.
Non-Academic Misconduct: The law does permit GW to communicate only
pertaining to alcohol or other drug violations, provided the student is under the age
of 21 at the time of notification. In all other cases, the law does not permit GW to
communicate with parents without the student’s written consent.
