Informal Resolution

At any time after receiving the initial notice of allegations (See Section VIII.A above), and prior to a determination regarding responsibility being reached, the complainant and respondent may request to participate in an informal resolution process.  Informal resolution will only occur with both parties’ voluntary, written consent.  At any time prior to agreeing to a resolution, any party will have right to withdraw from the informal resolution process and resume the grievance process with respect to the formal complaint.

The College does not permit informal resolution in cases involving alleged sexual harassment, sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence or stalking by a College employee toward a student.
