ARE YOU A UF STUDENT?

If you are a University of Florida student and are charged with a crime (DUI, felony, misdemeanor or traffic) or being investigated by law enforcement or the university, you may be suspended or even expelled.

Your graduation may be postponed. You may be forced to withdraw and repeat an entire semester or possibly a year of required courses. At the very least, a registration hold may be placed on your registration and transcripts.

The University of Florida requires that most criminal incidents involving students be immediately reported to Student Judicial Affairs (SJA). SJA then investigates the incident and decides whether the student is formally charged through its administrative process. If you receive an allegation or charge letter, do not ignore this document. Ignoring the situation will not make it go away.

You must act immediately to preserve your rights and protect your academic standing.

We can help. The attorneys with GALIGANI ROBERTSON will help you navigate through the administrative maze of petitions, student judicial hearings, conduct probation, written statements, and possible defenses, explanations or mitigation. We will thoroughly prepare you to zealously fight to keep your academic standing. We will go with you to your SJA hearing. We are University of Florida graduates. We know the system.
