Student Handbook

Enforcement of Sanctions

Only the Vice President for Student Life, Chief Student Experience Officer, or President of the University, has the authority or right to change a sanction imposed by the Community Standards Process. The Office of Student Life will enforce the sanction. Only the Vice President for Student Life or the Director of Residential Life & Community Standards may postpone the effective dates of sanctions. Postponements must be granted in writing and noted in the student’s file. 

All sanctions are effective immediately. Sanctions of suspension or dismissal will not be in effect, if an appeal is filed, until after the appeal has been heard. A student may be subject to temporary suspension pending the outcome of any appeal. If the appeal is denied, the suspension or dismissal will be effective immediately.
