Sanctioning Standards

The purpose and structure of the conduct system is rooted in the personal development of the student. The policies set forth by the college are standards we expect all students to uphold. When a student violates a policy the goal of the conduct process is to 1) hold the student accountable for their actions and 2) help educate the student so further incident do not occur. Multiple policy violations may increase the sanction given. The minimum sanctions for policy violations are listed below; however, they may be increased based on the incident. Please note these are minimum standard sanctions associated with each offense.

  • 1st Offense- Warning, Educational Sanction and/or Disciplinary Probation
  • 2nd Offense- Disciplinary Probation or Deferred Suspension
  • 3rd Offense- Deferred Suspension, Suspension or Expulsion

Furthermore, the Director of Residents Life, the Dean of Students, SOE Associate Dean, Dean of MSB and/or the Vice President for Student Affairs may increase the standard sanction if deemed necessary.
