B. Withdrawal in Lieu of a Hearing

Under certain conditions, the Vice President for Student Life (or designee) may allow a student charged with violating the code of conduct to withdraw from the university rather than face a student conduct hearing. A student must request such an option in writing, stipulate that the petition is voluntary, and acknowledge awareness that they will not be eligible to re-apply or return to Elon University in the future.  If the request is approved, the individual may not be present on the Elon campus, stay in campus owned or operated housing, or participate in any University or student sponsored events or activities on or off the campus.  Should the student request that their conduct history be shared with another college or university (as is often required when a student attempts to enroll in another college or university), the Office of Student Conduct will indicate that they withdrew in lieu of a hearing and may include the outstanding charges.
