Sanctions

Students are responsible for knowing the following:

17. Sanctions that may be imposed in accordance with this Code include:

  1. Warning: Notice, in writing, that continuation or repetition of prohibited conduct may be cause for additional disciplinary action.
  2.  Censure: A written reprimand for violating the Code of Student Conduct or other College policy. This conduct status specifies a period of time during which the student's or organization's good standing with the College may be in jeopardy. The student is officially warned that continuation or repetition of prohibited conduct may be cause for additional conduct action including probation, suspension, or permanent separation from the College.
  3. Disciplinary Probation: Exclusion from participation in privileged activities for a specified period of time (privileged activities may include, but are not limited to elected or appointed ASOC offices, student research, some student employment, and study abroad). Additional restrictions or conditions may also be imposed. Violations of the terms of disciplinary probation or any other College policy violations may result in further disciplinary action.
  4. Restitution: Repayment to the College or to an affected party for damages resulting from a violation of this Code. To enforce this sanction, the College reserves the right to withhold its transcripts and degrees or to deny a student participation in graduation ceremonies and privileged events.
  5. Removal from Campus Housing: Students may be removed from College housing and/or barred from applying for campus housing due to disciplinary violations of this Code.
  6. Suspension: Exclusion from College premises, attending classes, and other privileges or activities for a specified period of time, as set forth in the suspension notice. Notice of this action will remain in the student's conduct file. Conditions for readmission may be specified in the suspension notice.
  7. Permanently Separated from the College: Permanent termination of student status and exclusion from College premises, privileges, and activities. This action will be permanently recorded on the student's academic transcript.
  8. Revocation of Admission and/or Degree: Admission to or a degree awarded by the College may be revoked for fraud, misrepresentation in obtaining the degree or violation of College policies, the Code or for other serious violations committed by a student prior to enrollment or graduation.
  9. Withholding Degree: The College may withhold awarding a degree otherwise earned until the completion of the process set forth in this Code, including the completion of all sanctions imposed, if any.
  10. Other sanctions may be imposed instead of or in addition to those specified in sections (a) through (i) of this section. Service, education or research projects may also be assigned.
  11. More than one of the sanctions listed above may be imposed for any single violation.
  12. Significant mitigating or aggravating factors shall be considered when sanctions are imposed, including the present demeanor and past conduct record of the student as well as the nature of the offense and the severity of any damage, injury or harm resulting from it.
  13. See Parts 46 and 47 in this Code for more information about conduct files and records.
