Student Discipline Process

Student Discipline in the Residence Halls

In a community of learning, disruption of the educational environment, destruction of property, and interference with the orderly process of the University or with the rights of other members of the University will not be tolerated. Every person present and/or participating in a policy violation will be documented and may be subject to disciplinary action. In an effort to maintain an environment compatible with the University's function as an educational institution, resident managers have been granted authority to impose the following sanctions:

• Verbal or written warning (reprimand)
  
• Educational sanction (project assignment)
  
• Reassignment within residence hall or complex
  
• Restriction from area within residence hall or complex
  
• Suspension of hall rights and privileges

At any time, the resident manager may refer a discipline case to the Student Discipline Coordinator. The Coordinator or designee may impose any of the following:

• Verbal or written warning (reprimand)
  
• Educational sanction (project assignment)
  
• Reassignment within housing facilities
  
• Area restriction
  
• Suspension of hall rights and privileges
  
• Restitution
  
• Termination of contract

At any time the Student Discipline Coordinator may refer a discipline case to the Dean of Students' Office. The appeal process grants any party with a grievance the right to be heard. The appeal process is as follows:

• A resident manager's sanction may be appealed to the Coordinator.
  
• The Coordinator's sanction may be appealed to the Director of Residence Life.
  
• Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Residence Life Office within 24 hours.
