disciplinary processes, provides system-wide staff training and educates through mediation, leadership development, disciplinary sanctions and other educational intervention efforts. 

The Office of Judicial Affairs is dedicated to supporting students while maintaining a discipline process that is educational, equitable, expeditious, and just. We help you learn by administering a process that:

• Teaches responsibility
• Encourages the expression of diverse views and opinions
• And validates healthy choices and the concepts of individual and community respect

We strive to help you mature and become a contributing citizen at Northern and within the community of Aberdeen. We help to create a university culture that is self-diciplined, where civility is embraced, and the community norms and actions validate the essential values of Northern: 

• Personal and academic integrity
• Respect for the dignity of all people and willingness to learn from the differences in people, ideas and opinions
• Respect for the rights, property, and safety of others
• Concern for others and their feelings and their need for conditions that support an environment where they can work, grow, and succeed at Northern
