Spring 2026 Modules
NOTE: You do not need to complete 101 modules prior to registering for 201 or 301 modules. You can choose modules that best fit your professional development needs.
"Module" refers to the entirety of a course. There are five modules.
"Session" refers to the individual sessions in each module. Each module will have eight hours' worth of sessions. To receive a completion certificate, you must attend all sessions.
These are not lecture-style webinars, they are virtual classroom experiences! Plan to be engaged & interactive with your faculty and with other attendees in your cohort! Even our asynchronous module, Core Skills, will have interactive elements.
ASCA’s Student Conduct Series provides a distilled training in a virtual environment. In SC 101, 201, and 301, attendees will engage in a training concentrated on a particular topic. Our SC 101 modules provide foundational knowledge, while our 201 and 301 modules provide intermediate to advanced knowledge. The in-person Gehring Academy is designed to cover similar topic areas; however, the Academy is able to utilize a four-day training period to go in-depth on these and other topics. Some changes may be made. Current descriptions are always available on the ASCA site.
We plan to offer Continuing Education credits for all modules. Check back for information and click here to learn about Certification!

SC 101: Pathways to Resolution
Recommended for: Conduct practitioners at any level seeking more ideas and development around alternate resolution (sanction) outcomes.
This module focuses on the effective use and development of multiple pathways for resolving matters within student conduct processes. As the field of student conduct has evolved over time, so have the tools used by administrators to resolve cases through different formats.
From informal measures to a formal hearing, restorative practices, and proactive efforts to establish environments where students can thrive, there are a myriad of ways student conduct professionals can address concerning behaviors and alleged violations of policy. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the differences between various resolution options; develop skills to determine when each option is appropriate; and determine how to effectively facilitate those pathways.
