The Office of Student Accountability & Support receives reports from multiple offices, including the University of Missouri Police Department and the Department of Residential Life. Members of the community may also submit reports of misconduct through the incident report form.

If it is alleged that you have violated university policy we will send you a notice letter, detailing how to schedule a meeting with our office to discuss the allegation.
