What to do if you receive a letter regarding an investigation into a General Misconduct allegation.
Contact Student Rights + Support who can guide you through the process.
What is General Misconduct? General misconduct is unacceptable behaviour that is likely to cause harm, injury or damage, such as:
Who can report General Misconduct to the university? A staff member who has reasonable grounds to believe that a student has committed a misconduct offence, must report the matter to the Responsible Officer. In conduct of a sexual nature, the staff member cannot make a report unless they have the consent of the person whom the misconduct was directed towards.
A student can report the misconduct to a staff member. In conduct of a sexual nature, a student can also report the matter to Safer Communities and the student will be informed of their options.
What happens if Monash University considers that a student may have engaged in General Misconduct? As part of the investigation into the matter, the University will send you a letter outlining the suspected breach or allegations. You will be asked to fill in the response form and/or attend a meeting.
Contact Student Rights + Support as soon as you receive this letter.
