CHCS Student Handbook 2018-2019

Nova Southeastern University Student Handbook 43 Suspension is a mandatory separation from the university for a period of time specified in an order of suspension. An application for admission will not be entertained until the period of separation indicated in the suspension order has elapsed. Readmission is subject to approval of the university. During the period of suspension, the student is barred from campus visiting privileges unless specific permission is granted by the vice president of student affairs or designee. Temporary Suspension is action taken by the vice president of student affairs/assistant dean for student development that requires a student’s temporary separation from the university until a final determination is made of whether a student is in violation of the Code of Student Conduct and Academic Responsibility. Final Disciplinary Probation is a disciplinary sanction serving notice to a student that his or her behavior is flagrant violation of university standards, under which the following conditions exist. a. The sanction is for the remainder of the student’s career and may be reviewed by the vice president of student affairs no sooner than two regular academic semesters or equivalent after the sanction is imposed. After two semesters in attendance, a student may initiate a request in writing for reduction of the sanction to Disciplinary Probation, but must also demonstrate reason to substantiate the request. b. Another violation of the Code of Student Conduct and Academic Responsibility will result in the minimum of suspension being imposed if the student is found in violation. Disciplinary Probation is a disciplinary sanction serving notice to a student that her or his behavior is in serious violation of university standards. A time period is indicated during which another violation the Code of Conduct and Academic Responsibility will automatically raise the question of a more severe sanction (suspension or expulsion) if the student is found in violation. Disciplinary Warning is a disciplinary sanction serving notice to a student that her or his behavior has not met university standards. This sanction remains in effect for a designated number of semesters of attendance. Verbal Warning is a verbal admonition to the student by a university staff member that his or her behavior is inappropriate. Fines are penalty fees payable to the university for violation of certain regulations with the code of conduct and academic responsibility. Restitution is payment made for damages or losses to the university, as directed by the discipline officer. Restriction or Revocation of Privileges is temporary or permanent loss of privileges that includes, but is not limited to, the use of a particular university facility, visitation privileges, and parking privileges. Termination or Change of Residence Hall Agreement/Accommodation is a disciplinary sanction that terminates or changes the Residence Hall Agreement/Accommodation. This should be accompanied by another form of disciplinary action. It is considered permanent unless lifted by the vice president of student affairs/assistant dean for student development/director of residential life or designee. Counseling Intervention is when extreme behavior indicates that counseling may be beneficial. The student may be referred to the Student Counseling Center or other university health provider/program. Other Appropriate Action is disciplinary action, including educational sanctions (such as research papers or presentations) not specifically outlined before, but approved through the assistant dean of student development or designee.
