How to Report Concerns to the University

All three reporting forms can be found on the student tab of MyPAU Portal. If there is any confusion about which form to use, please submit the General Incident Report.

PAU’s University-level conduct process follows an evidentiary line of inquiry. It begins with a thorough review of the submitted report and any supplemental documentation (evidence). If it is determined that there is not enough evidence to proceed with charges through the student conduct system, no communication will ensue and no further action will be taken.

Any member of the PAU community can submit an incident report, but faculty and staff are required to do so when they know or reasonably suspect that a University level policy violation has occurred. It is important that all alleged policy violations are reported to the Department of Student Success in order to have a complete and effective student conduct system that appropriately addresses student behavior, remediates behavioral concerns, and keeps the University and those affiliated with it safe.

A report of misconduct or allegation of policy violation should include: the name of the student(s) alleged to have violated University policy; a clear factual statement describing the nature of the conduct (date, time, place, witnesses); and the name(s), address(es) and telephone number(s) of those filing the report to support PAU's evidentiary process. Students may wish to make anonymous reports, but doing so will likely inhibit the ability of the University to respond.

Once a report is received, a representative from the Department of Student Success will review the report and determine if there is sufficient evidence to support the allegation of a policy violation. This may or may not include reaching out to the person who submitted the report for clarification if/as needed, working with PAU’s Student Evaluation Committee (SEC), and/or program department heads for resolution prior to a formal PAU conduct proceeding.
