Instructions for Submitting a Judicial Referral to the Office of Student Conduct (OSC) at IUP

Any individual who is a member of the IUP community (i.e. current faculty, staff, or student) may submit a judicial referral involving a currently enrolled student to initiate the adjudication of allegations against that student.  Most frequently judicial referrals are submitted by university police officers or graduate/residence life staff members, but any community member has the option to do so.

To submit a judicial referral to the OSC, download the following “University Judicial System Case Referral Form” and save it to your PC.

Complete all fields, providing all specific information as requested:

The “Date of Referral” is the date that you submit a hard copy of the signed case referral form to the OSC.

In the “Alleged Violation” section, you are responsible for identifying and listing the specific charges you wish to levy against the accused student from the “student behavioral regulations.”  To examine the list of possible charges, view the student behavioral regulations.  Review each regulation to determine if it should be listed on this section of the judicial case referral form.

Once you have determined which charge(s) is appropriate, list each separate applicable charge under “Alleged Violation” (for example, “C7a Abuse”).  Then list each charge under the “Charges - Explanation” section of the judicial case referral form, clearly indicating why you believe the student violated the specific regulation.  (for example:  “C7a Abuse – John Doe hit me repeatedly in my stomach.”)

Next complete your information as the “Individual Making the Referral” and indicate your status as a faculty, student, staff, police officer, etc.

Finally, list the information of all individuals who have direct knowledge concerning the allegations against the accused student (“Witnesses” section).

You must print a hard copy of the completed University Judicial System Case Referral form and sign it for the form to be considered valid.  After printing the form and signing it, attach written statements or reports that provide information concerning the alleged incident (if applicable).

Judicial referral packets should be promptly delivered to the Office of Student Conduct, 102 Pratt Hall, IUP, between 8:00am and 4:30pm, weekdays.

When having difficulty completing a judicial referral packet, residential students should contact their graduate/residence building director and off campus students should contact the OSC for assistance.
