The Office of Student Conduct & Title IX (SCOTIX) receives various incident reports of alleged student misconduct from a variety of sources, e.g., the University Police primarily, but also the Valdosta or Remerton Police or the Lowndes County Sheriff. VSU's Housing and Residence Life Office also reports incidents as well as faculty, administrative staff, and students.

The alleged violator is notified by the (SCOTIX) by their local address listed in the VSU Banner system as well as their official VSU email account to call and schedule an appointment to discuss the report. The Conduct Officer then explains why the student has been contacted and refers to the Student Handbook’s Student Code of Conduct to discuss the violation(s) believed applicable. The Conduct Officer typically describes the disciplinary procedures and options too. The student then either does or does not accept responsibility for the alleged violations. Depending on their response the next course of disciplinary action results.

As a rule, NO. The incident is between the student and the University. If a parent calls about a disciplinary matter, normally the (SCOTIX) refers them back to the student for clarification or permission unless the student and parent(s) meet to discuss the matter or the student has given prior written permission to the (SCOTIX) to discuss the matter with the parent(s) or other designees via the proper Release of Student Information Form from the VSU Registrar. The Higher Education Amendment Act of 1998 Public Law 105-244 (FERPA) does authorize and give institutions the option to inform parents or guardians of conduct code violations relating to alcohol and illegal drug usage.
