How quickly do I need to act after receiving a notice from Office of Student Conduct?

Immediately. Central Michigan University sets strict deadlines for responding to allegations and filing appeals, often 5 to 10 business days from the date of the notice.

Title IX matters at Central Michigan University are generally handled by a Title IX office separate from general academic misconduct proceedings. Title IX cases have their own procedures, evidence standards, and timelines under federal regulations.
