A warning is given to notify a student that their behavior has been inconsistent with the expectations of the University. A warning has no immediate effect upon a student’s status at the University. However, once given a warning, students should expect different outcomes to result from any subsequent violations.

Probation serves to notify a student that they must avoid any further violations of the Student Conduct Policies for a specified period of time in order to remain a student at the University. Students on probation are not in good standing with the University; as a result, certain co-curricular activities may be prohibited to a student while on probation. Any further violations while on probation may result in a student’s suspension or dismissal from the University.

A student who has been suspended from the University may not participate in any University activities, academic or otherwise, for a specific period of time, and will be restricted from all University premises and activities. A suspended student who wishes to re-enroll must apply for re-entry to the University and must also apply to the Director of the Office of Student Conduct, who will determine whether any and all requirements for readmission have been satisfactorily completed. The University does not accept courses completed at another institution while the student is suspended.

A student who has been dismissed from the University is permanently prohibited from participating in any University activities, academic or otherwise, and will be restricted from all University premises and activities.
