informal conference at university

My son has bben offered one year probation for stealing at bookstore, and says it will be on transcripts. He has to accept or get informaol conference, question is what is informal conference . Should he accept and sign for the year probation or will a informal conference help

Could you mean “formal counseling”? Perhaps the school is offering to waive some of the punishment if your son gets counseling or therapy?

It looks like an informal conference is a meeting with their judiciary board

Thank you for the update on this. Here’s the latest flow chart that I found for the judicial process at the school. There may be an updated version on the school’s website somewhere. The flow chart shows how/when the informal conference comes about in this process. I hope you are getting some sort of professional advice from someone who is familiar with the school and their policies.
