Code of Community Conduct
X. Range of Sanctions
- Disciplinary Warning. A statement that further violations of University rules will result in more serious sanctions.
- Disciplinary Probation. More serious than a disciplinary warning, a status which generally will not exceed 18 months unless in the discretion of the hearing office or hearing board that the probationary period should exceed 18 months. Students who violate a regulation while on disciplinary probation are likely to receive an enhanced sanction for the subsequent violation.
- Suspension. Termination of a person’s status as a student for a definite or indefinite period of time with possibility of reinstatement.
- Expulsion. Termination of a person’s status as a student without possibility of reinstatement.
- Educational Conditions. With any sanction (with the exception of Expulsion) Educational Conditions may be imposed, including without limitation restitution, fines, community service, “no contact” provisions, educational projects or assessments. The University has complete discretion to impose or to not impose Educational Conditions on a case by case basis.
- “No Contact” provisions may be imposed in the reasonable judgment of the hearing officer prior to an Initial Conference.
