This office empowers Carolinians to be responsible citizens and uphold the core values
of our academic community. We hold every Carolinian to a high standard of ethical
behavior.
Virtual Student Appointments
Students who are reported for Code of Conduct or Honor Code concerns will have a meeting
to discuss the alleged violation virtually. You will receive notification of your
appointment and directions via your university email and will be asked to engage in
a virtual meeting through Microsoft Teams.
You will utilize the same credentials to access Microsoft Teams as you would use for
your university email.
We suggest that you download the Microsoft Teams application as that provides for
the best virtual connection.
When it is your appointment time you will receive a call from your administrator or
be prompted to join the video conference.
You can choose to use the video feature or engage in the conference with audio only.
For more information about your meeting review the Hearings section of our website

As a Carolinian...
I will practice personal and academic integrity;
I will respect the dignity of all persons;
I will respect the rights and property of others;
I will discourage bigotry, while striving to learn from differences in people, ideas,

which support their work and development.
