What are sanctions and why are they levied?
Judicial sanctions are a type of penalty or restriction placed upon a student found to be in violation of the Code of Student Conduct. Typically, sanctions are designed to be educational and are intended to assist the student in making more effective decisions for themselves in the future. Sanctions should be commensurate with the violation(s) found to have occurred. How do you determine sanctions? Sanctions are determined using a variety of factors including the nature and severity of the violation, related circumstances, impact on the campus/community, past history, precedent, and educational value of the sanction. What if I am already on probation and commit another violation? Further violation of university policies during the probationary period will be viewed not only as the act itself, but also as a violation of the probation, which could result in, suspension or dismissal. Thus, you should be extremely thoughtful about your behavior and should make every effort to avoid future
