Off-Campus Misconduct
Since the standards of conduct apply to all students of the University both on and off campus, students arrested for criminal offenses (misdemeanor or felony) are subject to disciplinary action. Police or court reports or documents, reports from University officials, or student complaints may be considered when reviewing allegations of off-campus misconduct.
Students living off campus are expected to be considerate of their neighbors and the community at large. They should monitor noise levels within and projecting from their homes, and if they host guests or parties, they should arrange for the quiet and appropriate arrival and departure of their guests.
The standards of conduct will be violated by behavior off campus that results in a neighborhood disturbance. A neighborhood disturbance may occur at the site of a social gathering at an off-campus residence (e.g., loud music or conversational levels) or through activity on the part of those arriving at or leaving a social gathering at an off-campus residence (e.g., littering, property damage, fighting, obscene or disruptive behavior, noise disturbances, etc.)
Standard Sanctions for Off-Campus Misconduct:
First Offense: $200 fine and formal warning
Second Offense: $400 fine, disciplinary probation, and loss of off-campus status
Third Offense: dismissal from the University |
