Deferred Suspension
A student found responsible of a more severe Community Standards violation he/she may be placed on Deferred Suspension. Deferred Suspension is used in cases when a student is found to be responsible for a violation that may typically result in suspension or dismissal. The length of Deferred Suspension may range from the remainder of the current semester to one calendar year. During Deferred Suspension, the student, while remaining regularly enrolled, must return to good standing. Academic advisors will be notified when a student has been placed on Deferred Suspension. At the end of the deferred suspension period, the student’s case will be reviewed by University Community Standards Board. Based on information presented at this hearing, the board may choose to continue Deferred Suspension, place the student on Community Standards Probation with additional educational sanctions or place the student on Suspension.
