The Office of Judicial and Conduct Administration is a division the Department of Student Affairs responsible for creating a campus community that is knowledgeable of the policies and expectations of a Catawba College student. The Student Conduct Board, advised by the Dean of Students, carries out all conduct hearings with the mindset of instituting educational sanctions that provide teachable moments for students found responsible of violating policy. All incident statistics are published yearly on Catawba's Public Safety website.
