The following sanctions may be imposed upon any student found to have violated the student conduct code

  • Warning – A notice in writing to the student that the student is violating or has violated the Student Conduct Code.
  • Probation – A written reprimand for a designated period of time. If a student has a subsequent policy violation during the probationary period, it is likely that more severe sanctions will be issues for that offense.

  • Discretionary Sanctions, such as unpaid volunteer work, essays, counseling or substance abuse education, evaluation, and/or treatment at the student’s expense.
  • Delayed Registration – A student may be required to delay his/her course registration until a complainant or any other student(s) involved in a conduct matter has completed course registration. Delayed registration is for a specified number of semesters or may be required until the complainant or other involved student(s) graduate.
  • Residence System and/or Dining Facility Suspension for a specified period of time.
  • Residence System and/or Dining Facility Expulsion (i.e. permanent separation).
