Definitions
Group Conduct Review: Indicates that a group's behavior may violate University policy and/or the Student Code of Conduct. Non-academic group activities are suspended during this process to allow for a thorough administrative investigation to take place.
Reprimand: Official notification of unacceptable behavior and violation(s) of the Student Code of Conduct. Any further misconduct may result in more serious disciplinary sanctions.
Disciplinary Probation: Sanction imposed for a designated period of time. Further violation of prohibited conduct as outlined in Part D of the Student Code of Conduct may result in further disciplinary action up to and including disciplinary suspension or disciplinary expulsion. Periodic probationary meetings may also be required. All assigned conditions of sanction must be completed prior to the conclusion of disciplinary probation; otherwise the disciplinary probation will remain in effect.
Disciplinary Suspension: Temporary revocation of University recognition. While an organization or group is suspended, it may not use University resources or participate as an organization in any University activities or events. A student organization suspension will not exceed five years. Student organizations or groups that have been suspended from the University must petition for re-enrollment through the director of the office of community standards and student responsibility. Re-enrollment may be granted, with further probationary status, at the discretion of the director.
Disciplinary Expulsion: Permanent revocation of University recognition of that organization.
