Off Campus Life : Student Conduct directly partners with Off-Campus life to ensure students are finding a “home” off campus and ensuring they are being good stewards of the off campus community. OSCCR may refer students to Off Campus Life to learn more about building partnerships with the community and best practices for event planning at off campus houses.

OSCCR also responds to incidents organizations are implicated in and partner with them to resolve any violations that may have occurred.
