Information Sessions
INFORMATION SESSIONS
- Information sessions are led by a Center for Community Standards staff member on a one-on-one basis. These sessions will help you understand your rights and responsibilities and what you can expect moving forward. Information sessions are meant to clarify the community standards process and answer questions you may have. Each information session should last 30 minutes.
Information sessions will not be held on or during university or class holidays.
Register for an information session directly through the Center for Community Standards Microsoft Bookings Page.
Information sessions will take place via Microsoft Teams. If you are unable to access Microsoft Teams, please contact our office to request a Zoom session.
Information session meetings may be scheduled between 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. (PDT), Monday through Friday. Please contact the Center for Community Standards by email or at 509-335-4532 if you have any questions or need help scheduling.

Advisors
ADVISORS
Going through the community standards process can be overwhelming and at times, confusing. An advisor can help make the process easier, serving as a mentor or sounding board. Your community standards advisor is different from your academic or career advisor. You may choose to have an advisor with you during any stage of the process. WAC 504-26-020
Your advisor can contact us to get information about meeting dates, your status in the process, and any assigned sanctions. They can also attend meetings and your hearing with you in a supportive role. It’s important you know that your advisor cannot represent you or speak on your behalf, and they do not serve as an attorney or legal counsel.
There are two advisor options you can choose from:
1. An advisor of your choice who is not involved in the reported incident. For example, an advisor could be a WSU faculty or staff member, or a community member, as long as they are not a witness to the reported incident.
2. A WSU faculty or staff member who has volunteered to serve as an advisor in an unbiased role. You can find a list of these advisors, along with their profiles and contact information below. You may reach out to them directly and at any time.
These volunteer advisors are selected and trained to serve students within the community standards process. They are not employed by the Center for Community Standards or the Office of the Dean of Students.
You will need to submit an advisor registration form so we know they will be working with you.

LEGAL REPRESENTATION
A licensed attorney or a legally licensed intern may act and speak on your behalf during Conduct Board hearings. During a Conduct Officer hearing, they can only serve as an advisor. WAC 504-26-020
If you choose to have legal representation, it is at your own expense. You can find options for representation through the Washington State Bar Association and the Whitman County Bar Association.

Confidentiality
Not all resources listed are confidential. A confidential resource is one that can discuss your concerns with you privately and is not obligated to report to authorities. Legally, there are a few exceptions to confidentiality; those exceptions are the abuse of a child or vulnerable adult and imminent harm to self or others. Most of the non-confidential resources do have policies in place to keep your information as private as possible. If you are concerned about confidentiality, please make sure to ask about policies before disclosing any information you do not want to be shared.
