Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Judicial Affairs

The Office of Judicial Affairs (OJA), a unit of the Division of Student Affairs, is committed to providing a safe campus environment for students to learn and live. This is accomplished through programming and activities that promote responsible decision-making and focus on self-awareness. The goal of this office is to educate the campus community regarding standards for student conduct and to foster a community of civility, integrity, respect for others and appreciation for diversity.

Through the OJA, students are provided with assistance in resolving conflicts and disputes in a way that facilitates individual responsibility and contributes to their growth and development.

Judicial Proceedings

OJA is responsible for the administration of the student discipline system. It is designed to respond to allegations of student behavioral misconduct. The goal is to address behavioral misconduct in a manner that educates and guides students toward civility and upholding ethical standards.

Mediation Services

Students may seek mediation to resolve a conflict or dispute. It is designed to facilitate communication between parties, promote reconciliation and understanding among students. This may be an alternative solution to judicial proceedings if all involved parties are willing to have their differences mediated by an impartial third party.

Referrals

Referrals are made to other departments or agencies when appropriate. This may include the Women’s Center, Counseling Center, Disability Services, Health Center, University Housing, the Women’s Shelter, University Police Department and other agencies where appropriate.

Student Conduct Board

The OJA also offers students leadership opportunities through the Student Conduct Board (SCB). SCB is a select group of students that hears cases of alleged misconduct as it pertains to our Student Code of Conduct. Members are directly responsible for deciding if a violation occurred and, if necessary, what sanctions are appropriate for a particular situation. SCB members will have an understanding of community standards, a mature sense of self-awareness and an excellent ability to reason.

For more information about our office and the SCB, please visit our website at judicialaffairs.tamucc.edu. The office is in the University Center, Room 318.
