DARTMOUTH COLLEGE
Committee on Standards / Organizational Adjudication Committee
Application for Student Membership
Twenty-four students serve on the Committee on Standards (COS) / Organizational Adjudication Committee (OAC)
each term. Half of our student members are elected by the student body during the Spring Student Assembly
elections. The Dean of the College appoints additional students each fall to complete the student complement of
the committees.
Student members must be sophomores, juniors, or seniors who have not been previously suspended from the
College and are not on College Probation during their terms of service. Additionally, students cannot be on
Academic Probation while serving. Students may serve during a leave term. More information can be found in the
current Student Handbook http://www.dartmouth.edu/~deancoll/student-handbook/ .
All COS/OAC meetings are held on Monday and Thursday afternoons beginning at 2:00pm and often extend into
the evening. Applicants must be available on one of these two days during their terms of service. Students may
be asked to serve up to 6 times per term. All students appointed to the COS/OAC are required to attend training
prior to serving on a hearing panel.

Members of the COS/OAC serve on hearings to consider alleged violations of Dartmouth’s Academic
Honor Principle and other conduct violations that, if true, could result in our most serious conduct
sanctions (suspension, separation, derecognition of an organization). Effective committee members are
respectful of the privacy of peers, listen closely, value fairness, and have demonstrated an ability to make
thoughtful and difficult decisions.
