The College shall also have the opportunity to bring witnesses and present findings to the Student
Conduct Panel. The Panel may then ask follow-up questions for clarification before releasing the
College personnel from the hearing.
Deliberation
The Student Conduct Panel dismisses the student to deliberate the facts and to determine responsibility.
Consider only the evidence submitted during the hearing. Avoid speculation unsupported by logical or
factual analysis utilizing a "preponderance of the evidence" standard of proof (51%). The Student Conduct
Panel decides whether or not the student is responsible for the violation(s).
Determining Sanctions
1. The Chairperson explains the possible sanctions available to the Student Conduct Panel and the
sanctioning process using the sanction guidelines.
2. Student Conduct Panel members must reach consensus on their sanction recommendation. Panel
members will vote by hand vote unless a secret ballot is requested of at least one Panel member.
Presentation of Decision
The decision of the panel will be sent to the student electronically, via their student email account
(mymail.nwtc.edu). The decision will be provided to the student within 24 hours of the meeting
If the accused student is found responsible:

2.
3.
The Chairperson will deliver the sanctions decided upon by the Student Conduct Panel as well as
the rationale for determining that particular sanction.
The panel decision is submitted to the Dean of Student Development’s office. The Dean will
review and approve findings after all students in that report have been heard and their notes
reviewed. Then the Dean of Student Development will notify students via a decision letter.
The accused student will be informed of the right to appeal the decision and/or sanction.
Appeal of the Conduct Process
All students have the right to appeal disciplinary decisions with the exception of students who request a
formal hearing but do not attend their scheduled hearing time. Appeal requests must be made in writing to
the Vice President of Student Services within three (3) business days after verbal or written notification of

and/or the explanation with specifics of the alleged lack of fairness in the prior hearing
The Vice President of Student Services or designee will render and cause a decision to be sent to the student
via their NWTC email account within (ten) 10 academic days after receipt of the appeal.
At the discretion of the Dean of Student Development or designee, sanctions may be deferred while a
request for an appeal is being considered.
STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES
FREE student health services are offered to currently enrolled students in the College’s Campus Care Clinic
located on the Green Bay campus. The services are similar to Bellin Health’s Fast Care®
model. Appointments/walk-ins (specific times) are welcome and visits are no cost (including labs). At the clinic,
nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants treat patients for common ailments including ear infections, strep
throat or minor burns and rashes. Students must have a current NWTC student photo I.D. card to use the
services. Bellin Health maintains all records and no one at NWTC has access to individual records.
