The University strives to respond to student misconduct in ways that promote learning, accountability, personal growth, and community well-being. Educational outcomes are intended to help students understand the impact of their behavior, reflect on their choices, repair harm when appropriate, and develop the knowledge and skills necessary to make positive decisions moving forward. When educational interventions alone are not sufficient because of the seriousness or repeated nature of the conduct, disciplinary sanctions may also be imposed.

Educational Outcomes

Educational outcomes may include, but are not limited to:

• Written educational reflection or assignment
• Community service
• Educational workshop or program
• Behavioral agreement
• Restorative meeting or facilitated conversation, when appropriate
• Restitution
• Counseling, coaching, or other support referrals, when appropriate
• Other educational outcomes designed to promote learning, accountability, and responsible decision-making

Educational outcomes may be assigned through either the Informal Resolution or Formal Resolution process.

Disciplinary Sanctions

• Written Warning. A Written Warning is a formal notice that a student's behavior violated the Student Code of Conduct. The warning documents the violation and notifies the student that future violations of University policy may result in additional educational outcomes or more serious disciplinary sanctions.
• Disciplinary Probation. Students placed on disciplinary probation remain enrolled but are expected to demonstrate compliance with University policies and community expectations throughout the probationary period. Additional violations may result in more serious disciplinary action.
• Loss of Privileges. Restriction or removal of specific University privileges, including participation in activities, leadership positions, campus employment, housing, or other University programs.
• Residential Relocation or Removal. Relocation to another housing assignment or removal from University housing.
• Suspension. Separation from the University for a specified period. Students suspended from the University are prohibited from participating in University activities or accessing University property except as authorized by the University. The University may establish conditions that must be satisfied before a student is permitted to return.
• Dismissal. Separation from the University for an indefinite period. Students may be considered for readmission only after meeting conditions established by the University. Readmission is not guaranteed.
• Expulsion. Permanent separation from the University. A student who is expelled is not eligible for readmission.
