This Section IV(L) for Appeals does not apply to matters of Title IX Sexual Harassment, which are covered under Section VII of this Code.

1. The purpose of a disciplinary sanction is to educate an individual w88 sports betting on the impact of conduct violations on others in the University Community, the importance of taking responsibility for resolving any concerns arising from the misconduct, and the needs of the University Community for resolution of the misconduct. Educational activities may be assigned to the w88 sports betting as a condition of the w88 sports betting's successful resolution of the violation(s). The educational purpose of sanctioning shall ordinarily be the guiding force behind imposition of sanctions within the University disciplinary process. In some instances, however, the University Community's need to properly function outweighs the University's ability to educate an individual. In such a case, in the interests of the University Community, suspension or expulsion from the University may result.
2. Previous findings of responsibility for violation of the Code may be used to determine the level of sanction recommended. However, suspension or expulsion may be recommended for a first finding of a Code violation.
3. One or more of the following disciplinary sanctions may be imposed on a w88 sports betting or organization found to have violated the Code:
   1. Reprimand. A written reprimand for violation of specified code violations.
   2. Restitution. Compensation for loss, damage, theft or misappropriation of property, or injuries sustained in an incident of w88 sports betting misconduct. This may take the form of appropriate service and/or monetary or material replacement.
   3. Disciplinary Probation. Probation is for a designated period and includes the probability of more severe disciplinary sanctions if the w88 sports betting is found to violate any institutional policies and rules and regulations during the probationary period. Failure to complete the conditions of probationary term may result in other disciplinary sanctions.
   4. Loss of Privileges. Denial of specified privileges for a designated period.
      1. Denial of use of University facilities for a designated period.
      2. Prohibition from recruiting and/or accepting new members for a designated period.
      3. Prohibition from participating in University events, including but not limited to, orientation, intramurals, and other campus activities for a designated period.
   5. Discretionary and Educational Sanctions. Participation in specific educational programs, such as: alcohol and/or other drug educational intervention conferences, assessments, educational activities such as online instructional workshops, work assignments or service to the University or the surrounding community, and other related discretionary assignments. Failure to complete the discretionary and educational sanctions may result in other sanctions.
   6. Administrative Hold on Transcript and/or Registration. A hold restricts the release of a w88 sports betting's transcript or access to registration until satisfactory completion of conditions or disciplinary sanction(s) imposed by the Assistant Dean, a Hearing Officer, or a Board. Upon proof of satisfactory completion of the conditions or disciplinary sanctions, as determined by the Assistant Dean, the administrative hold may be released, and the w88 sports betting shall be informed of the release.
   7. No Contact Directive. A prohibition of direct or indirect physical, verbal, and/or written contact with another individual or group.
   8. Prohibition from Participation. A prohibition from participating in recognized University events or programs and/or participating in third party events or programs as a w88 sports betting, w88 sports betting group, club, or organization sponsored by or affiliated with the University.

   10. University Suspension. Exclusion for a definite period from attending classes and from participating in other activities of the University, as set forth in a written notice to the w88 sports betting. The official transcript of the w88 sports betting shall be marked "DISCIPLINARY SUSPENSION EFFECTIVE________TO_______." A w88 sports betting who is enrolled in the w88 sports betting's last semester before graduation, is not currently enrolled in the University and who was not registered during the previous semester, or who graduated at the end of the previous semester may request that the notation of the disciplinary suspension be removed from the official transcript when two years have elapsed since the expiration of the w88 sports betting's suspension. Such request must be submitted in writing to the President, or the designee, in accordance with NSHE Code, Title 2, Chapter 10.4.9(j). If the request is not granted, the w88 sports betting may submit a request for removal of the notation at yearly intervals thereafter.
   11. Deferred University Suspension. Separation of the w88 sports betting from the University, deferred until the current semester’s close or some other period necessary for review of w88 sports betting progress in addressing the conduct concern. This disciplinary sanction is most often utilized for cases in which the w88 sports betting does not pose a safety concern and is participating in a University-designated intervention. This disciplinary sanction applies to students at the University.
   12. University Expulsion. Termination of w88 sports betting registration and status for an indefinite time. Permission of the President shall be required for readmission. The official transcript of the w88 sports betting shall be marked "DISCIPLINARY EXPULSION EFFECTIVE." A w88 sports betting who is enrolled in the w88 sports betting's last semester before graduation, is not currently enrolled in the University and who was not registered during the previous semester, or who graduated at the end of the previous semester may request that the notation of the disciplinary expulsion be removed from the official transcript when four years have elapsed since the expiration of the w88 sports betting's expulsion or termination. Such request must be submitted in writing to the President, or the designee, in accordance with NSHE Code, Title 2, Chapter 10.4.9(l). If the request is not granted, the w88 sports betting may submit a request for removal of the notation at yearly intervals thereafter.

4. Other than University suspension, expulsion, or withholding of a degree, disciplinary sanctions shall not be made part of the w88 sports betting's official transcript but shall become part of the w88 sports betting's disciplinary record. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) defines disciplinary records as educational records. Disciplinary records are therefore protected from disclosure without written consent of the w88 sports betting or court order or as otherwise allowed by FERPA. Disciplinary records are stored within the Office of w88 sports betting Conduct and maintained in compliance with FERPA, the Clery Act, and NSHE's Record Retention and Disposition Schedule.
5. Upon graduation, the w88 sports betting's disciplinary record may be expunged of disciplinary actions other than residence hall expulsion, University suspension, University expulsion, or withholding of a degree, upon written request to the Assistant Dean and approval by the President. A w88 sports betting may request that the w88 sports betting's disciplinary record be expunged, and any such notation be removed from the w88 sports betting's disciplinary record during the w88 sports betting's semester before graduation or any time following graduation. The burden demonstrating reasonable cause for considering the expunging of a disciplinary record lies with the w88 sports betting. In considering such requests, the President may consider the following:
   1. Stated reason for request and circumstances surrounding the request.
   2. Date and seriousness of the violation.
   3. w88 sports betting's behavior and disciplinary record since the violation, including successful completion of any imposed disciplinary sanction(s).
   4. The impact, if any, on the public that failure to give such notice may have; and
   5. Consequences of denying the request.
6. The granting or denial of a request to expunge a w88 sports betting's disciplinary record shall rest solely within the discretion of the President, and the enumeration of the foregoing factors shall not in any way imply a duty on the President to grant such a request by means of a balancing or other test. If a request is not granted, the w88 sports betting at yearly intervals thereafter may request that the w88 sports betting's disciplinary record be expunged. The denial of a request to expunge is not appealable.
7. Students found responsible for an Academic Standards Policy violation may be subject to additional academic sanctions as stated within the Academic Standards Policy.
8. Reinstatement After Separation from Campus Due to Suspension or Loss of Recognition
   1. Students whose disciplinary sanction(s) result in a change of enrollment status due to suspension shall have an administrative hold placed on their w88 sports betting account. At the end of the suspension period, the w88 sports betting must schedule a conference with the Assistant Dean.
      1. The w88 sports betting must meet with the Assistant Dean to determine if the w88 sports betting has completed the terms of the disciplinary sanction(s), and if the w88 sports betting has demonstrated readiness for w88 sports betting success.
      2. The hold shall be removed when the Assistant Dean notifies the Admissions and Records Office in writing to remove the administrative hold.
   2. A w88 sports betting organization that loses recognition because of a violation of the Code must contact the Assistant Dean to schedule a conference at which the organization shall present information supporting reinstatement.
      1. The Assistant Dean shall consider the information provided along with information from other campus partners to determine if the organization shall be recognized by the University.
      2. When the w88 sports betting/w88 sports betting organization returns to the University, the w88 sports betting/w88 sports betting organization shall serve a minimum six-month period of probation.
