Residence Hall Judicial Board

What is RHJB and who can be involved?
The Residence Hall Judicial Board is a volunteer peer judicial board composed of 7 voting members and 1 non-voting chairperson. In order to serve on the Board, students must have at least a 2.0 GPA, clear judicial record, and live in university housing. Up to two undergraduate University Housing staff members can serve on a judicial board at one time. There is an application and an interview process that students must go through in order to get a position on the board.

RHJB hears cases of students that live in residence halls that are of a non-suspendable nature. Students may choose to have their case heard by RHJB rather than having a Coordinator of Residential Education or Building Director, adjudicate the case.

If a student is found in violation of Georgia Southern University student conduct code, RHJB can sanction them with either a warning or probation, community service hours or other educational components, as well as recommended removal from university housing. The RHJB hears cases on a weekly basis, usually on a set schedule one or two evenings a week.
