Policy Violations

Responsibility
The occupants of a room are considered primarily responsible for violations occurring in their room — whether they are present or not. Furthermore, all students who are present in a room where a college policy is being violated will be subject to disciplinary action. If you inadvertently find yourself in the presence of a violation, leave immediately. Keep in mind, too, that you are responsible for the conduct of your guests.

Sanctioning
Sanctions for policy violations are based on a recommendation from the Student Affairs Committee, the president of the college approved a listing of minimum and maximum guidelines for violations of college policy. For example, the maximum sanction for a visitation violation is $75 plus disciplinary probation. The consequence for an alcohol violation is a fine up to $200 plus disciplinary probation. A complete listing of sanction guidelines is published each fall in the Temp Directory.

Process
If the college believes you have violated a policy, a member of the professional staff will meet with you and present a written formal charge called a Notice of Conduct Complaint. The staff member will also explain the reasons for taking this action, review likely sanctions and discuss plea alternatives. At your discretion, you may take up to 48 hours to decide how you want to plead. If you’re uncertain how to respond, consider consulting with one of Student Government Association’s student advocates.
