Under the Student Code of Conduct, the Dean of Students or designee and/or Title IX Coordinator, if applicable, may impose restrictions and/or separate a student from the community pending the scheduling of a campus hearing on alleged violation(s) of the Student Code of Conduct when any of the following conditions exist:
Interim actions can include separation from the institution or restrictions on participation in the campus community for no more than ten (10) business days pending the scheduling of a Conduct Committee Hearing on alleged violation(s) of the Student Code of Conduct. A student who receives an interim suspension may request a meeting with the Dean of Students or designee to demonstrate why an interim suspension is not merited. Regardless of the outcome of this meeting, the College may still proceed with the scheduling of a Conduct Committee Hearing.
- A student represents a threat of serious harm to others
- A student is facing allegations of serious criminal activity
- In order to preserve the integrity of an investigation
- In order to preserve College property and/or to prevent disruption of, or interference with, the normal operations of the College.
During an interim suspension, a student may be denied access to College housing and/or College campus/facilities/events. As determined appropriate by the Dean of Students or designee, this restriction may include classes and/or all other College activities or privileges for which the student might otherwise be eligible. At the discretion of the Dean of Students or designee and with the approval of, and in collaboration with, the appropriate Instructional Dean(s), alternative coursework options may be pursued to ensure as minimal an impact as possible on the responding student.
