  • Advise the student on the investigative model, the conduct process, and the student's rights; 
  • Assist the student in the preparation of statements and questions to be presented at the hearing; 
  • Accompany the student to all conduct proceedings and meetings; 
  • Advise the student in the preparation of any appeals.

  • An advisor does not help the student try to avoid accountability; and 
  • An advisor does not act as spokesperson or defense counsel for the student.
