Advisors

Respondents and reporting parties may bring a currently enrolled student, faculty, or staff member from the Elon University community to serve as their advisor to any meeting that occurs as part of the conduct process. Family members, attorneys or other legal counsel may not attend any meeting that occurs as part of the conduct process or serve as advisors. The role of the advisor is limited in scope. An advisor may not answer for, speak for, or represent their advisee. Advisors may consult with the student quietly, in writing, or outside the meeting. The university will make a reasonable effort to accommodate an advisor’s availability. The university reserves the right to proceed with any meeting, regardless of the availability of the advisor.
