Sanctions

• Disciplinary warning: The student receives a written notice that continuation or repetition of conduct that has been judged wrongful or inappropriate, within a period of time stated in the warning, will be cause for more serious disciplinary action. A letter of warning creates a disciplinary file in Student Affairs.
• Disciplinary probation: The student is notified that he or she is no longer in good social standing with the University and that further violation of University regulations during the probation will likely result in disciplinary separation. A file is maintained in Student Affairs. Students on disciplinary probation are generally ineligible to represent the University in intercollegiate activities, hold an elected or appointed office or committee chairmanship in any campus organization, or pledge a fraternity or sorority for a set period of time as set forth in the probation.
• Disciplinary separation: A student must withdraw from the University for a definite period, usually effective the date of the hearing, for a specified number of semesters. Separation from academic coursework includes exclusion from all privileged and co-curricular activities as well. A disciplinary file is created in Student Affairs, and a copy of the notification letter is filed in the student’s academic file in the appropriate dean’s office.
• Expulsion: An individual’s status as a student of the University may be permanently terminated.
• Other:  Based on the outcome of the University Judicial Board or Administrative Hearing, disciplinary sanctions may be imposed on a student for violation of established University rules and regulations.

As part of any disciplinary sanction, the following types of conditions may be applied:

1. Restitution
2. Fines (money to be used to benefit student life)
3. Compensatory services
4. Community services
5. Rehabilitative activities
