Pathway Projects
If a student is found responsible for violating the Student Code of Conduct, they will be assigned a pathway project to help them learn from their policy violation. Students not completing or adhering to assigned pathway projects may be subject to additional Student Code of Conduct violations.
Student Status
The purpose of a student status is to provide students with a more precise representation of where they stand with their conduct and the University. The status to which a student is assigned will be based on the context and severity of the policy violation(s).
Informal Warning- a status indicating the lowest level violation of the Student Code of Conduct has occurred, but will not be reported as part of the student’s conduct record. If found in violation of the Student Code of Conduct again, a student can expect an elevated conduct status.
Formal Warning- a status indicating a minor violation of the Student Code of Conduct has occurred, but will not be reported as part of the student’s conduct record. Future violations can result in an elevated conduct status.
Conduct Probation- a status indicating a serious violation or two or more incidents have occurred and resulted in violations of the Student Code of Conduct; the student or student organization is informed that further violations may result in an elevated conduct status. This status may prevent a student from participating in other student leadership opportunities that require a student to be in good standing with the University. Conduct probation may delay, but not deny participation in other student leadership opportunities.
Deferred Suspension- a status indicating a severe violation or multiple incidents have occurred and resulted in violations of the Student Code of Conduct. The student or student organization is informed that further violations can result in suspension. The student can convene classes as normal due to the suspension being deferred and not active. This status may prevent a student from participating in other student leadership opportunities that require a student to be in good standing with the University. Deferred suspension may delay, but not deny participation in other student leadership opportunities.
Suspension- a student is removed from the University for a specified period. The status of suspension is not placed anywhere on the student’s transcript. When a student is suspended and required to leave the University community due to discipline, they may not re-enter without an interview with the Director of Student Conduct or the appropriate designee. Upon their recommendation, a student may rejoin the campus community at full student status.
Expulsion- permanent termination of student status at the University
