Formal Conflict Resolution (FCR)

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.
