A Student Sanctions

The following are the common sanctions that may be imposed upon Students singly or in combination:

Reprimand: A formal statement that the conduct was unacceptable and a warning that further violation of any University policy, procedure, or directive will result in more severe sanctions/responsive actions
Required Counseling: A mandate to meet with and engage in either University-sponsored or external counseling to better comprehend the misconduct and its effects
Restrictions: A Student may be restricted in their activities, including, but not limited to, being restricted from locations, programs, participation in certain activities or extracurriculars, study abroad, or holding leadership roles in student organizations
Probation: An official sanction for violation of University policy, providing for more severe disciplinary sanctions if the Student is found in violation of any University policy, procedure, or directive within a specified period of time. Terms of the probation will be articulated and may include denial of specified social privileges, exclusion from co-curricular activities, exclusion from designated areas of campus, no-contact orders, and/or other measures deemed appropriate.
Suspension: Separation from the University, or one or more of its facilities, for a defined period of time, typically not to exceed two (2) years, after which the Student is eligible to return. Eligibility may be contingent upon satisfaction of specific conditions noted at the time of suspension, on successfully applying for readmission, or upon a general condition that the Student is eligible to return if the University determines it is appropriate to re-enroll/readmit the Student. The Student is typically required to vacate University property within 24 hours of notification of the action, though this deadline may be extended at the discretion of the Senior Director of Student Experience and Title IX Coordinator or other appropriate official. During a University-wide suspension, the Student is banned from University property, functions, events, and activities unless they receive prior written approval from an appropriate University official. This sanction may be enforced with a trespass action, as necessary.
Expulsion: Permanent separation from the University. The Student is banned from University property, and the Student’s presence at any University-sponsored activity or event is prohibited. This action may be enforced with a trespass action, as necessary.
Withholding Diploma: The University may withhold a Student’s diploma for a specified period of time and/or deny a Student participation in commencement activities as a sanction if the Student is found responsible for violating the Policy
Revocation of Degree: While very rarely exercised, the University reserves the right to revoke a degree previously awarded by the University for fraud, misrepresentation, and/or other violation of University policies, procedures, or directives in obtaining the degree, or for other serious violations committed by a Student prior to graduation
Other Actions: In addition to, or in place of, the above sanctions, the University may assign any other sanctions as deemed appropriate
