Hearing Board Certification

The UAB Office of Community Standards and Student Accountability and the Title IX Office invite faculty, staff, and undergraduate and graduate students to earn a university hearing certification. After completing the university hearing certification, you will be eligible to serve as a University Conduct Board member for the next calendar year. 

Details of Training  

During this training, participants will understand the role of the hearing board and build skills related to conducting a hearing, weighing evidence, and assigning appropriate sanctions in accordance with university policy.

Participants will practice their skills in a mock hearing by being provided with a mock-investigation report and a sample hearing script. The CSSA and Title IX staff will provide guidance, direction, and feedback throughout the hearing.

You’ll learn key skills such as:

• Philosophy of student conduct 
• University of Alabama at Birmingham’s complaint and resolution process 
• Hearing Board members’ roles throughout the hearing process 
• And much more!
