Disciplinary Process: Jurisdiction

Scope of Regulations
Disciplinary action may be taken against a student for violation of the regulations which occur on institutionally owned, leased, or otherwise controlled property or which occur off campus when the conduct impairs, interferes with, or obstructs any institutional activity or the mission, processes, and functions of the institution. In addition, disciplinary action may be taken on the basis of any conduct on or off campus that poses a substantial threat to persons or property within the institutional community. The Assistant Dean for Judicial Affairs and Mediation Services shall decide if disciplinary action shall be taken for off-campus conduct on a case-by-case basis at his/her sole discretion. Each student shall be responsible for his/her conduct from the time of application for admission through the actual awarding of a degree even when the conduct occurs prior to the beginning of classes and in between semesters. This includes conduct that is discovered after the awarding of a degree. The Rights and Responsibilities shall apply to a student’s conduct even if the student withdraws from school pending disciplinary action.
