Services for Students
Student Conflict Resolution Services
The Department of Student Life’s Student Conflict Resolution Services (SCRS) office addresses various student disputes. Using SCRS allows students to proactively develop conflict resolution skills and emulate responsibility, respect and fairness. SCRS trains and consults with two student groups, the Residence Hall Judicial Board and the Interfraternity Council Judicial Board, and speaks to student groups about legal issues, judicial processes and resolution skills. Student Mediation Services can provide assistance in resolving individual or group disputes via a personal, confidential consultation with a professional staff member specifically trained in state-certified mediation programs. Student Legal Services helps students explore their options with legal advice from a licensed attorney regarding legal matters including consumer protection, auto accidents and domestic relations law. Legal services are limited in matters of litigation; the attorney cannot represent students in court. Services may not be used in student complaints against another student or the University. Student Judicial Services interprets and upholds community standards as outlined by the Texas A&M University Student Rules. Following due process and emphasizing fairness, professional staff members conduct confidential student judicial proceedings when a student has allegedly violated a section of the Student Rules.
