With WILD coming up on Friday, everyone on campus is looking forward to a fun weekend. But as we know, things can sometimes get out of hand. Worst of all, every year some students make mistakes that haunt them the rest of their time at Washington University. Did you know that students are required to report involvement in a judicial process on any future application for graduate school or employment? To help our students have a great time without unnecessary consequences, the Office of Student Conduct would like to take a moment to remind you of the resources that are available for students. One of the most important elements of the OSC is the peer-led team of Student Conduct Ambassadors. These students want to make sure that the Wash. U. community has an awesome WILD without violating the University’s codes and policies.

For those who don’t know, SCAs are a group of students on campus who spread awareness about University policy, community standards and judicial code. We are here to answer questions and provide guidance for those students who want a great experience at WILD without falling on the wrong side of a conduct violation. From $500 fines for fake IDs to suspension or expulsion for egregious violations of the code, the SCAs want to make sure you understand your rights and obligations as members of the University community. As peers, SCAs also relate student concerns about judicial policy to the OSC. If you’re feeling uncertain about the University’s judicial message or policy, stop by the OSC in the Residential Life building to chat with one of us. We will also be outside the Danforth University Center on Friday, Oct. 31 for our first “Free Stuff Friday” from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Have a safe WILD, and learn more about the group online by visiting our newly created Facebook page or following us on Twitter.
