The core focus of the SCRR is to help create a safe and supportive community and manage concerns and complaints that arise involving students. The purpose of the SCRR is to help foster a university community characterized by respect, fairness, accountability and safety; identify what constitutes non-academic misconduct; set out transparent processes for submitting, resolving and investigating allegations of non-academic misconduct; and clarify the rights and responsibilities involved in non-academic misconduct situations.

Here is a list of SCRR Frequently Asked Questions.

Academic misconduct is governed by the Memorial University Calendar and other university policies. For information about academic conduct, click here.

The University recognizes that many concerns can be resolved informally, without resorting to the provisions of this Code. The principles underlying this Code are educational and whenever appropriate the University encourages informal resolution of minor incidents. Informal procedures will include consulting with the parties involved and attempting to mediate a satisfactory resolution. The focus will be on restorative justice. The Code also provides for early intervention regarding behaviour that may be of concern, without involving the formal procedures under the Code.
