Termination or Change of Residence Hall Agreement/Accommodation—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 senior vice president for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, the dean of students, and/or the director of University Housing, or designee. Counseling Intervention—When extreme behavior indicates that counseling may be beneficial. The student may be referred to the Center for Student Counseling and Well-Being or other university health provider/program. Other Appropriate Action—Disciplinary action, including educational sanctions (such as research papers or presentations) not specifically outlined before, but approved through the dean of students, or designee. Parent/Legal Guardian Notification—When university personnel may, at times of extreme concern for a student’s welfare, notify parent(s)/legal guardian(s) of a student younger than 21 years of age—in writing or by phone—when alcohol or drug violations of university policy occur. Appeal Process An appeal of disciplinary action taken following an administrative judicial proceeding must be submitted, in writing, to the senior vice president for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, or designee, within five business days of the receipt of the written disposition of the hearing. In appealing a judicial decision, the appeal must fall into one of the following categories: • The student/student organization has new, relevant evidence that was not available during the investigation or adjudication that would substantially alter the outcome of the case. • Information that the applicable university procedures were not followed and the deviance would substantially alter the outcome. • The sanction(s) do not relate appropriately to the violation(s). A written decision will be provided by the senior vice president for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, or designee, within 30 calendar days of receipt of the appeal request. The decision of the senior vice president for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, or designee, will be final. Disciplinary Notations on Academic Transcripts The academic transcript is a complete representation of a student’s academic record, which may include information regarding a student’s behavior, decisions, misconduct, and/or academic performance. When a student has received a sanction of suspension or expulsion, this is noted on the transcript. Students who are permitted to withdraw from NSU with pending disciplinary allegations may also see a notation on the transcript documenting same.
