Student Handbook

Suspension

Suspension is a separation from the University for a student found responsible of a severe and/or multiple Community Standards violation/s and/or repeated violations. When a student is suspended from the University, the student will leave the University with a specified date and/or condition for re-admittance. The minimum period of suspension is the remainder of the current academic year. The student, on their re-admittance, must meet with the Vice President for Student Life to determine his/her standing with the University. Students returning after a Suspension may be placed on Deferred Suspension or Community Standards Probation status, as well as additional follow-up hearings with the University Standards Board. A second suspension of the student is considered grounds for dismissal from the University.

 

Conditions of suspension include:

  1. Unless otherwise instructed, the student must move off campus within 24 hours from the time of the hearing.
  2. The student will immediately be removed from all classes.
  3. The student may not return to campus until the suspension has concluded.
  4. A copy of the letter of suspension is placed in the student's file and remains a part of his/her permanent file in the Office of Student Life.  
  5. No refund on tuition, housing, or meal plans will be given.
