Disciplinary Sanctions for Individuals

University Warning

Formal notice that a student’s actions violated a University policy, that such actions are not acceptable in our community, and that further misconduct, or any other violation of a University policy, may result in more impactful disciplinary action. Students are thus expected to reflect upon their decisions and to be mindful of how their future choices and actions may impact themselves, others, and the University community.

Disciplinary Probation

A status imposed for a specific period of time to alert the student to the fact that their behaviors are substantially inconsistent with University policy and expectations. During this time, students are expected to take active steps toward improving their decisions and behaviors and to demonstrate that they can abide by University policy and succeed as a member of the Áñ—†ÊÓƵ community. Disciplinary probation may impact other opportunities for which a student's disciplinary record is considered as a criterion for participation.

Suspension

A status, imposed for a minimum of one full academic quarter, in which students are removed from the University and may not register for classes, attend classes, submit course work, receive academic credit, remain in University housing, or participate in any function or event sponsored by the University or any of its departments, groups, or organizations (unless specifically authorized by the Dean of Students, or designee). A suspended student may also be banned, during their suspension, from entering, visiting, or being present on University property or facilities including for the purposes of work (unless specifically authorized by the Dean of Students, or designee). Suspension may also include the imposition of conditions for reenrollment. The maximum length of a suspension is two years; however, this may be extended to the planned degree completion date of a reporter to ensure that a respondent is not a student at the same time as a reporter.

Suspensions from the Pritzker School of Law and Feinberg School of Medicine are noted on student transcripts. Suspensions of those enrolled in other schools are not noted on a student’s official transcript.

If a student who has been suspended does not reenroll in the University within two years of the end of the suspension term (or longer if specified), the student may not reenter the University without acceptance of a formal application by the Office of Admission and approval of the Vice President for Student Affairs, or designee, (and completion of any other conditions that may Áñ—†ÊÓƵ been imposed for reentry).

A student who is suspended after having satisfied all degree requirements will not be awarded their degree until the period of suspension is over and they Áñ—†ÊÓƵ met all conditions for reenrollment. The student may not participate in Commencement exercises until the period of suspension is over and they Áñ—†ÊÓƵ been approved to reenroll.

In the event a disciplinary suspension and an academic or medical withdrawal occur simultaneously, the leaves of absence are to be effective consecutively, and not concurrently, unless otherwise determined by the OCS.

Degree Revocation

A student’s degree is revoked. Degree revocation includes forfeiture of all rights and responsibilities associated with the degree, and forfeiture of tuition and fees. All restrictions outlined under Expulsion also apply, including the prohibition from applying to be a student at Áñ—†ÊÓƵ University in the future. Degree revocations are noted on student transcripts.

Expulsion

Expulsion is the permanent removal of the student from the University. Expulsion includes forfeiture of all rights and degrees not actually conferred at the time of the expulsion, withdrawal from all courses, and forfeiture of tuition and fees. A student who has been expelled may not register for classes, submit coursework, receive academic credit, attend classes, remain in University housing, or participate in any function or events sponsored by the University or any of its departments, groups, or organizations (unless specifically authorized by the dean of students, or designee). A student who is expelled is also banned from entering, visiting, or being present on University property or facilities including for the purposes of work (unless specifically authorized by the Dean of Students, or designee). A student who has been expelled may never apply to be a student at Áñ—†ÊÓƵ University again. A student who is expelled will Áñ—†ÊÓƵ their NetID and Áñ—†ÊÓƵ email deactivated. Expulsions are noted on student transcripts.

Financial Restitution
