Students will be required to meet with a staff person in Residence
Life or Judicial Affairs. In those meetings, students have an opportunity
to read the charges against them, explain their involvement (or
lack thereof) in an incident, accept or deny responsibility, and
a University sanction may be assigned.

Staff have a wide variety of administrative
(.pdf) and educational
(.pdf) sanctions that they can assign to students.

Yes. Terminating a student's contract is an option within the community
standards program. This sanction is typically assigned to students
who have numerous policy violations or have one or two violations
of a serious nature.

The University adopted a parental notification policy several years
ago. Some violations of University policy are reported to parents/guardians.
See the University Parental
Notification Policy for more information.

A student's judicial record is considered part of an educational
record. Therefore, if a student allows a potential graduate school
or employer to have access to an educational record, most policy
violations would be reported. It is up to the graduate school or
potential employer what to do with the information.

Students are allowed to have overnight guests in their rooms with
their roommate's permission. If your son/daughter does not like
having an overnight guest in the room, then s/he should tell his/her
roommate. If that doesn't work, your son/daughter should go to their
RA/CA or another Residence Life staff person.
