OSCR offers a variety of services to the University of Michigan community to assist in preventing and resolving conflicts between University members. If you are interested in accessing OSCR services, schedule an informational consultation to explore your options and determine if an OSCR pathway may suit your needs.
OSCR’s Informal Conflict Resolution for Alcohol and Other Drugs (ICR-for-AOD) program allows students to address alcohol or other drug-related incidents in a safe, confidential setting, and without incurring a disciplinary record.
OSCR offers a spectrum of services that may be tailored to meet individual circumstances. Services may be accessed by meeting with a Resolution Coordinator. ACR pathways may be accessed without submitting written documentation; FCR pathways require submission of a written complaint alleging a violation of the Statement.
The Formal Conflict Resolution (FCR) process occurs when a student is alleged to have violated the Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities. Both the complainant (the party alleging the violation) and the respondent (the student named in the complaint) will have the opportunity to meet with OSCR Staff to discuss options in the FCR process, and both are entitled to have an advisor present at any meetings with OSCR.
Shuttle Negotiation is a indirect conversation (facilitated by a non‐involved party) between two or more parties involved in a conflict (“Disputants”).
