Per Curiam.
Defendant Was originally charged with criminal trespass in the third degree and harassment of the Dean of Manhattan Community College. On April 23,1971, he was. permitted to plead guilty to the violation of criminal trespass in the fourth degree to cover the information. Upon the urging of defense counsel, defendant was sentenced to a conditional discharge, the condition being that suggested by defendant’s own counsel, namely, that defendant stay away from .the school campus. Five days later defendant reappeared at the college and was arrested for criminal trespass and loitering. Defendant was tried on these new charges on June 29, 1971, before a three-man bench, and acquitted. Later that same day, the matter appeared on the calendar of the Judge who had imposed the original sentence, in connection with defendant’s alleged violation of the conditional discharge. What formalities took place at this proceeding are not known, since the parties have stipulated and agreed that the instant appeal shall he limited to the proceedings had on the original sentence, the hearing on the alleged violation of the conditional discharge, the resentence and a stipulation of additional facts. The parties have further agreed that ‘ ‘ the arraignment and adjournment minutes ” not he reproduced herein since no error is assigned with respect thereto. However, defense counsel concedes that on June 29,1971, he and defendant were orally advised that a hearing would he held the following day; that the condition previously imposed was for defendant to stay away from the campus; and that the sole issue to he heard was whether that condition had been violated.
At the outset of the hearing on the following day, the exact language of the conditional discharge sentence was read to defendant from the official court transcript. Defendant’s request for an adjournment was denied and his contention that formal written charges had to he served was rejected. The court heard testimony from a college security officer, the dean of the college *308and the defendant. It was established that defendant had returned to the campus on April 28, 1971 without permission or authorization from the school or the court, allegedly to address a student group. Defendant conceded that he clearly understood that the condition imposed by the court was that he not return to the campus. The court determined that there had been a viola-ion of the condition previously imposed and thereupon vacated the sentence of conditional discharge and resentenced defendant to 10 days’ imprisonment.
Although defendant asserts no such claim, the dissent insists that defendant was not arraigned, as required by section 935 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Assuming arguendo that there has been no waiver and that we must determine compliance with section 935 solely by reference to the minutes of the hearing of June 30,1971, we conclude that the minimum statutory requirements were met. There is no requirement for formal procedures when revoking probation. The arraignment called for under section 935 of the Code of Criminal Procedure merely requires the court to inform probationer of the charges against him (see Code Crim. Pro., § 309; People ex rel. Benacquista v. Blanchard, 267 App. Div. 663, decision amd. 267 App. Div. 1018; People ex rel. Ambrose v. Combs, 33 Misc 2d 360). That condition was adequately met. Defendant was, of course, given an opportunity to be heard before his original sentence was vacated. The lower court’s denial of an adjournment was within its discretionary power (see, People v. Oskroba, 305 N. Y. 113, mot. for rearg. den. 305 N. Y. 696) and was justified under the facts presented. The condition suggested by defense counsel and imposed by the court below was simple, concise and clearly understood by defendant. Moreover, defendant and his counsel had just concluded a trial on charges based upon his presence on the campus. The contention that defendant was not adequately aware of the charge he was defending against is pure sham.
Finally, we must reject the suggestion that the lower court acted out of “ annoyance ” with this defendant. The court stated its reason for acting quite succinctly, “A conditional discharge means nothing if the condition is not obeyed, that is the principle I am protecting here today.”
The judgment of conviction should be affirmed.

(dissenting). On April 20,1971, defendant and a number of others entered Manhattan Community College without permission, remaining in the building after the dean told them to leave and were arrested. On April 23, 1971, defendant *309pleaded guilty to criminal trespass in the fourth degree (a violation).
Defendant was given a conditional discharge with a direction to stay away from the school. He was told that in the event he returned to the school or disobeyed the instruction, he would he rearrested and brought before the Judge for sentence.
Five days later, on April 28, 1971, defendant reappeared at the college, was again arrested and was charged .with criminal trespass and loitering. He was tried on these new charges on June 29, 1961, before a three-man bench, and acquitted of both charges.
Later that day, defendant appeared before the Judge who had granted him the conditional discharge and was told that a hearing would be held the next day to determine whether he had violated the condition imposed by the Judge. On the following day, the court advised counsel that the only issue to be heard was whether or not defendant returned to the campus.
Defendant requested an adjournment. The application was denied. Counsel protested that defendant had not been supplied with written notice of the charge against him. This too had no effect.
Defendant was not arraigned; nevertheless the hearing proceeded forthwith, the court vacated the sentence of April 23, 1971, and (in the face of defendant’s acquittal by the three-man panel) defendant was sentenced to 10 days in the New York City Classification Center.
While I can understand the annoyance of the Trial Judge at defendant’s reappearance at the college so soon after his conditional discharge, the interests of justice, as well as the governing statutes and requirements of due process, call for a new trial.
The basic governing statutory provision is section 935 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. It provides that where a defendant violates a condition of his sentence, the court may issue a warrant for his arrest and commit him, with or without bail. “ On his being arraigned and after an opportunity to be heard the court may revoke, continue or modify his sentence. If revoked, the court may impose any sentence it might have originally imposed.” (emphasis supplied).
*310Since defendant had pleaded guilty on April 23 to criminal trespass in the fourth degree, a violation, the maximum sentence which could thus be imposed was 15 days (Penal Law, § 70.15).
While there is no requirement for formal procedures when revoking a sentence, the proceeding is quasi-criminal (People v. Turner, 27 A D 2d 141, 143; People ex rel. Menechino v. Warden, 27 N Y 2d 376). The statute contemplates at least three things: (a) arraignment, (b) notice to the defendant of the violation charged and (c) an opportunity to attack or deny the charge (People v. Oskroba, 305 N. Y. 113, 117; People ex rel. Morriale v. Branham, 291 N. Y. 312; People ex rel. Silbert v. Cohen, 36 A D 2d 331; People ex rel. Benacquista v. Blanchard, 267 App. Div. 663, decision amd. 267 App. Div. 1018; People ex rel. Ambrose v. Combs, 33 Misc 2d 360). In short, a defendant is entitled to a fair hearing and due process, including proper notice of the charges against him (People ex rel. Silbert v. Cohen, 36 A D 2d 331, 332 supra).
While the determination to be reached is discretionary1, a defendant is also entitled to appellate review ‘ ‘ to make certain that he was accorded those rights that constitute due process and that the trial court exercised a proper discretion in revoking ” the probation or conditional discharge (People v. Turner, 27 A D 2d 141, 143, supra).
In this context, the hearing under reivew seems clearly defective. Defendant was entitled to proper notice of the charge against him. If not in writing (CPL 410.70), the notice should at least have been in better form than the informal advice given his new lawyer by the Trial Judge on the day before the hearing. He was entitled to arraignment. He was not arraigned. When arraigned, he would have been entitled to a two-day adjournment as a matter of right (People v. Goldberg, N. Y. L. J., June 13, 1972, p. 2, col. 1 [App. Term, 1st Dept., April No. 117]; Code Crim. Pro., § 357). His application for an adjournment was denied.
Defendant ¡should not have 'been precipitately forced to trial. Forcing him to immediate hearing, without arraignment and without proper specification of the charge against him, was, in my judgment, prejudicial error.
I would order a new hearing, to be heard by the Judge before whom the matter may appear in the regular course (People v. Johnson, 25 A D 2d 842).
I therefore dissent, and vote to remand the matter to the court below for rehearing.
