  • Process Advisors

    A member of the SNC community who is serving as a student conduct Process Advisor for the student can assist the student with emotional support during the hearing. In a hearing, the student is the primary speaker and the Process Advisor is present primarily for assistance. A parent/guardian does not have a speaking role in a hearing. A student should select as a Process Advisor a person whose schedule allows attendance at the scheduled hearing date and time because delays will not normally be allowed due to the scheduling conflicts of a Process Advisor.
