The University expects all students to maintain behavior consistent with its educational goals. Being a member of the residential life community means understanding and adhering to the w88 online casino betting Code (including, but not limited to: misconduct regarding alcohol, marijuana, tobacco, other controlled substances, destruction of property, weapons, surreptitious recording), License Agreement and Community Rules. As a community member, the resident is responsible for their (and their guest’s) behavior and the choices the resident makes.
This Residential Life conduct w88 online casino betting has been established to respond to incidents involving inappropriate behavior within our Residential Life community. This Residential Life conduct w88 online casino betting provides educational opportunities that encourage residents to evaluate their own actions, consider their own decision making, and acquire new skills to improve their choices in the future.
When it has been reported that there has been an alleged violation of the Community Rules, a resident may be subject to the Residential Life conduct process through Residential Life. In addition, a resident may also be subject to University action, including through the Office of w88 online casino betting Conduct. The Office of w88 online casino betting Conduct has delegated limited authority to Residential Life to handle certain alleged violations of the w88 online casino betting Code; however, the Office of w88 online casino betting Conduct or the Equal Opportunity and Title IX office may intercede and process students through the w88 online casino betting Code process or Title IX investigation process, respectively, for more applicable, serious, or egregious violations.

III. Progressive Discipline Review
Under the Residential Life’s system of progressive discipline, progressive discipline is a process that generally includes a series of increasingly severe actions to address Community Rules violations with the ultimate goal of teaching concurrent accountability and behavior change. The goal of progressive discipline is prevention of a recurrence of negative behavior by helping the resident learn from their mistakes. Further, whenever reasonably feasible, an effort will be made to make certain the resident understands the rule that is involved, why the behavior is inappropriate or unacceptable, and specific changes which must be made in order to bring the w88 online casino betting’s conduct in compliance with the Community Rules. When it has been determined after an investigation that one or more Community Rules has been violated, one or more sanctions may be imposed. Progressive discipline is not limited to violations of the same Community Rules but can be used for a violation of the same or different rules. The sanction(s) will vary based upon the facts and circumstances of the specific violation(s).
After the Complaint or Incident Report has been received, the Assistant Director shall make a determination whether the alleged incident requires an educational conversation, informal response (rule reminder) or warning under the progressive discipline standard or if the facts and circumstances dictate that a disciplinary sanction is more appropriate. The Assistant Director shall also review the Complaint or Incident Report to determine if the matter should be referred to another University office such as the Title IX Office or the Office of w88 online casino betting Conduct.
Generally, Progressive Discipline will begin with anEducational Conversation. However, the type of Progressive Discipline will depend on the facts and circumstances of each case as determined by Residential Life staff. Progressive Discipline Standards are defined below:

- A Warningserves as a formal warning from Residential Life against violating the policies and procedures.

Before summarily removing any resident with a disability from the residence halls, the University will complete individualized assessment to determine if there are reasonable accommodations that would permit the resident to continue in their w88 online casino betting status. Any decision to remove a resident will be based upon actual risk, and not mere speculation, stereotypes, or generalizations about individuals with disabilities.

Sanctions specific to alcohol and substance violations
Sanctions for alcohol and drug-related violations will focus on education and services when appropriate.

Progressive Discipline Review
Under the Residential Life’s system of progressive discipline, progressive discipline is a process that generally includes a series of increasingly severe actions to address Community Rules violations with the ultimate goal of teaching concurrent accountability and behavior change. The goal of progressive discipline is prevention of a recurrence of negative behavior by helping the resident learn from their mistakes. Further, whenever reasonably feasible, an effort will be made to make certain the resident understands the rule that is involved, why the behavior is inappropriate or unacceptable, and specific changes which must be made in order to bring the w88 online casino betting’s conduct in compliance with the Community Rules. When it has been determined after an investigation that one or more Community Rules has been violated, one or more sanctions may be imposed. Progressive discipline is not limited to violations of the same Community Rules, but can be used for a violation of the same or different rules. Sanction will vary based upon the facts and circumstances of the specific violation(s).
After the Complaint or Incident Report has been received, the Assistant Director w88 online casino betting Conduct and Safety or designee (referred to as “Assistant Director”) shall make a determination whether the alleged incident requires an educational conversation, informal response (policy reminder) or warning under the progressive discipline standard or if the facts and circumstances dictate that a disciplinary sanction is more appropriate. The Assistant Director, also shall review the Complaint or Incident Report to determine if the matter should be referred to another University office such as the Title IX Office or the Office of w88 online casino betting Conduct.
AnEducational Conversationserves as an opportunity for Residential Life staff to have an intentional, developmental conversation about the potential impact a resident's decisions and behavior have on themselves and/or the community.
A Policy Reminderserves as a notice from Residential Life regarding a potential violation of the Community Rules that may have taken place. This notice is sent to inform the resident more directly of the Community Rules and to encourage them to avoid participating in the documented behavior in the future. Further violations of the Community Rules may initiate the Residential Life conduct hearing w88 online casino betting.
A Warningserves as a formal warning from Residential Life against violating the policies and procedures. If the resident is found responsible for future policy violation(s), the details of this incident will be considered in any future sanctioning for the duration of the resident’s time living on w88 online casino betting.

Interim Actions by Residential Life
In appropriate circumstances, the Executive Director may re-assign any resident to alternate w88 online casino betting and/or relocate any resident. The Executive Director or designee may reassign or relocate a resident when the Executive Director or designee determines that there may be an ongoing risk to the health and safety of the University Community, to protect University property, to restore operations, or to meet the needs of the University community or any of its individual members.
Emergency Removal Actions
In certain circumstances, the Vice President of w88 online casino betting Services (“Vice President”) may impose an immediate emergency removal from the residential halls prior to the resolution of a charge of a violation of the w88 online casino betting Code or the Community Rules against the resident. This emergency action includes the immediate removal from all residential halls and dining commons for an interim period whenever the Vice President determines that this is required to:
- Ensure the safety and well-being of members of the Residential Life and/or University Community.
- Protect University property.
- Prevent w88 online casino betting from posing an ongoing threat or disruption of, or interference with, the normal operations of the residential halls and dining commons; or
- Protect any resident from discrimination, including sexual harassment, or retaliation for the report of discrimination, including sexual harassment.
When the emergency removal is imposed, the resident shall be denied access to the residential halls and dining commons for which the resident might otherwise have access, as the Vice President may determine to be appropriate. During the time of the removal from the residential halls and dining commons, the resident may not come into University leased or owned housing and dining commons for any reason other than meeting with the appropriate University official(s) regarding resolution of the emergency removal and the w88 online casino betting Code or Community Rules violation.
Regarding the emergency removal:
- Any resident so removed shall be afforded an opportunity to a hearing on the emergency removal no later than ten (10) Working Days following the removal unless w88 online casino betting agrees to delay the hearing to a later time. The Assistant/Associate Director shall hold the hearing under the hearing procedures described above. The Assistant/Associate Director shall make a recommendation to the Vice President. The Vice President’s decision upon the Hearing Officer's recommendation shall be final.
- The emergency removal does not replace the regular disciplinary w88 online casino betting, which shall proceed on the normal schedule, up to and through a hearing, if required.
- In circumstances where the resident is removed from leased or owned w88 online casino betting for the resident's own emotional and personal safety, an informal meeting shall occur with the Assistant/Associate Director and the resident. The meeting will focus on developing a plan to assist the resident with identifying personal and academic needs in order to return.
Residence Hall removal
Residential Life reserves the right to summarily remove any resident from the residence halls in serious cases due to safety considerations, license cancellation, or situations where current medical knowledge and/or the best available objective information demonstrates that w88 online casino betting poses an actual risk to the health or safety of themselves or others.
Before summarily removing any resident with a disability from the residence halls, the University will complete individualized assessment to determine if there are reasonable accommodations that would permit the resident to continue in their w88 online casino betting status. Any decision to remove a resident will be based upon actual risk, and not mere speculation, stereotypes, or generalizations about individuals with disabilities.
Any decision to summarily remove a resident from the residence halls may be appealed to the Assistant Director of w88 online casino betting Conduct and Safety for Residential Life pursuant to the Appeals Process described below.
The University and Residential Life are not responsible for making alternative w88 online casino betting arrangements or for payment or reimbursement of any costs any resident may incur as a result of being summarily removed from the residence halls. If you have your licenses agreement canceled, you are still financially responsible for all w88 online casino betting and meal plan charges.
Sanctions specific to alcohol and substance violations
Sanctions for alcohol and drug-related violations will focus on education and services when appropriate. The University has several educational, assessment and counseling programs to individually address substance use and abuse issues. The type of program to which a resident may be assigned will depend on the nature and seriousness of the violation. These include, but are not limited to:
- Individual substance abuse assessment by a trained counseling professional
- Socializing 101
- BASICS (Brief Alcohol Screening & Intervention for College Students)
- CASICS (Cannabis Screening & Intervention for College Students)
- SHIFT (w88 online casino betting High-risk Intervention for First Time alcohol violations)
- STEPSS (Substance Treatment & Education for Personal w88 online casino betting Success)
- OnTRAC (Treatment, Responsibility & Accountability on w88 online casino betting)
The severity of the violation will be used in conjunction with recommendations from health care professionals and program specialists to determine which program is most appropriate for the resident. These sanctions are administered through the Office of w88 online casino betting Conduct.
