The following are sanctions that the Office of Housing and Residential Life office will impose when a student has been found
RESPONSIBLE for violating Housing policy. They are suggested actions. The Hearing Officer is responsible for determining
the sanction that best meets the overall educational goal of the conduct process based on the facts of each individual
hearing.
NOTE - The sanctions are not necessarily assigned in the order they are listed and depend on the severity and context of
the incident. Multiple sanctions may also be assigned.
Formal Warning
This sanction is usually, but not always, the first step in the formal conduct hearing process. A written warning to
the student states that continued violations of University or Residence Hall policies or procedures will result in further
disciplinary action.
Educational Sanction
This sanction will require you to complete an educational project as specified. You may be required to participate in
an educational program or activity. This sanction may be imposed with Formal Warning and/or Housing Probation and
Relocation
Restitution
This sanction will require payment for damages to property of the University such as Residence Halls and surrounding
areas.
Housing Probation
This sanction indicates that the student’s actions require a more serious response than Formal Warning, but do not
necessarily meet the standard for Removal from Housing. Housing Probation states that the students continued violation of
Housing policy will result in further disciplinary action. Housing probation is for a designated period of time and may
include restitution, educational sanctions or other specified activities.
Housing Relocation
Students may be asked to relocate or move to another room on campus. The student will be expected to follow room
change procedures as outlined by the Office of Housing and Residential Life.
Removal from Housing
The Director of Housing & Residential Life or his/her designee has the authority to cancel your Housing contract. You
will be required to immediately or within a certain time period vacate yourself and your belongings from your assigned room.
Students whose contract is being cancelled may be prohibited from entering all University owned Housing. A copy of the
sanction letter will be forwarded to the campus judicial officer and to University Police.
