Sanctions

If a student is found responsible for a violation, and depending upon the circumstances  (including any past history of violations), the Residence Coordinator or other university official who resolves the case will issue one or more sanctions.

Some sanctions will remain within the RLHS system.  Others, however, may be recorded on the student's university record.

RLHS sanctions may include, but are not limited to:
  • Monetary fine
  • Residence hall warning or probation for specified period of time
  • Making a formal apology
  • Writing a paper, presenting a program or performing a service that demonstrates an understanding of relevant issues and impacts
  • Participation in a specified workshop, or in an educational, awareness enhancing discussion  with a specified referral person, group or class
  • Loss, restriction or modification of privileges
  • Restitution
  • Community service in the residence hall or other location
  • Limitations on guest visitation, as either host or guest
  • Transfer to another room in the same residence hall, or to another residence hall
  • Removal from the residence hall system and revocation of the housing license
Important: If a student's housing license is revoked for reasons of his/her conduct, and the student remains enrolled at the university, the student will remain financially liable for the full term of the housing license.
