2nd offense while on probation – suspension from institution for current semester and 1 subsequent semester (Fall or Spring semesters only).  Summer suspension may not be substituted for a Fall or Spring semester and will be included if suspension is initiated during Spring semester.

Two or more violations (separate incidents) while not on probation – In cases where students are referred to the Office of Judicial Programs for additional violations that occur before the resolution of any prior violations or pending cases - suspension from institution for current semester and 1 subsequent semester (Fall or Spring semesters only). Summer suspension may not be substituted for a Fall or Spring semester and will be included if suspension is initiated during Spring semester.

These are minimum sanctions.  The findings of fact, any particular circumstances, and prior record of the student will be factors considered when determining any appropriate sanctions.
