Judicial System

The purpose of the judicial system at Augustana College is educational, not punitive. It is intended to foster the growth and development of each individual as well as enhance and enrich the entire college community. The philosophy, principles, and procedures of the system are reflective of this attitude and this spirit, and it is expected that each person who becomes involved with it in any way will reflect the same.

The judicial system has been established to deal with all inappropriate behavior and unacceptable activity, whether specified or unspecified. It is not intended to be a duplicate of the criminal proceedings of a court of law, but rather a fair and equitable process of developing responsible citizenship and protecting the rights and property of the individual members of the Augustana College campus community.

The judicial system involves all levels of the campus community and consists of administrative hearings and College Review Board Hearings.
