As a member of the Cleveland State University (CSU) community, we care about your experience. We also recognize that not everyone has a positive experience everyday at CSU. The mission of the Office of Community Standards and Advocacy is to promote a campus culture of safety, respect, accountability, and belonging. We do this by:

• Educating the CSU community on the rights and responsibilities under the CSU Student Code of Conduct
• Promoting equity throughout the conduct process
• Guiding students through the process of filing a complaint
• Assisting students in applying their due process rights and utilizing appeal procedures
• Connecting students to appropriate on and off campus resources in order to support their overall wellness
• Offering mediation services between individuals or groups
• Answering questions related to the Student Code of Conduct and other relevant policies and procedures
• Fostering critical thinking skills
• Engaging in dialogue around the process, incorporating CSU community feedback 
• Adjudicating cases in an effort to repair harm and prevent harm from reoccurring
• Applying principals of restorative justice to ensure every member of our CSU community feels welcomed and valued
