Disciplinary Issues/Code of Conduct information
General Information
Students found responsible for violations will be assigned sanctions (Student Code of Conduct, Section G. Sanctions) that are intended to be educational in nature, protective of the community, and relevant to the case.
Disciplinary records are considered part of students’ education record. Disciplinary records stays on file with the Dean of Students Office for 7 years, or until graduation, with the exception of suspension and expulsion, which are permanently kept on file.
Education interventions for a first time violation of the Student Code of Conduct typically include a monetary sanction, parental notification for drugs or alcohol (students under the age of 21), an educational course such as Personal Responsibility, personal reflection or community service, and deferred eviction for our students living on campus. Severe offense such as threats, harm, or sexual misconduct often result in suspension and expulsion.
