The sanctions listed below may be imposed upon any student found to have violated the Professional Conduct Policy or other policies incorporated within the Student Code of Conduct. The listing of the sanctions should not be construed to imply that students are entitled to progressive discipline. The sanctions may be used in any order and/or combination that the University deems appropriate for the conduct in question. Students should be advised that conduct violations could impact privileges associated with the University, including but not limited to leadership and officer roles in student government and in student organizations.

• Warning – A verbal or written notice to the student that the student is in violation of or has violated University policies.
• Probation – Probation is for a designated period of time and includes the probability of more severe disciplinary sanctions if the student is found to have violated any University policy during the probationary period or the student does not satisfy any stated terms of probation.
• Loss of Privileges – Denial of specified privileges for a designated period of time.
• Fines – Monetary penalties may be imposed, as determined or approved by the University.
• Restitution – Compensation for loss, damage, or injury. This may take the form of appropriate service, monetary or material replacement, or a combination of the foregoing.
• Discretionary Sanctions – Work assignments, service to the University or other related discretionary assignments.
• University Suspension – Separation of the student from the University for a definite period of time, after which the student is eligible to return. Conditions for readmission may be specified.
• University Expulsion – Permanent separation of the student from all University locations.

More than one sanction listed above may be imposed for any single violation. In each case in which a program-specific Professional Review Committee determines that a student has violated the Student Code of Conduct, sanction(s) shall be determined and imposed by the Committee. Following the decision of the Professional Review Committee, the conduct manager or designee shall advise the student in writing of the decision and of the sanction(s) imposed, if any.

Other than University suspension and University expulsion, disciplinary sanctions shall not be made part of the student’s permanent academic record but shall become part of the student’s disciplinary record. Upon graduation, the student may petition the program administrator or designee to have their confidential disciplinary record expunged or partially expunged of disciplinary actions. Whether or not to grant the request to expunge or partially expunge shall be at the University’s sole discretion. Denial of admission and rescinding admission are at the sole discretion of the director of admission and not subject to the Professional Conduct Policy or the other policies incorporated within the Student Code of Conduct.
