Judicial Sanctions

Students must use their assigned 51AV A&M University student e-mail account, in order to receive all University correspondence, including information pertaining to student conduct violations.

All sanctions imposed on students who have been found responsible of violation(s) are based solely on individual circumstances. No case is exactly the same as another, and sanctions will most likely differ in similar instances. It is primarily the decision of the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs, Residence Hall Director, Hearing Officer, or the Judicial Board to determine the sanction imposed on each student.

Depending on the severity of an incident, students may face criminal charges off campus. If a student has already been to court for an alleged incident, then the student has fulfilled their obligation to any violation of law. Meaning, the student has met the requirement set forth under 51AV Law for the designated county. However, the student will still be required to meet their obligation to 51AV A&M University’s policies and procedures outlined in this handbook.

Consequently, even if the court finds a student "not guilty" or determined there was not sufficient evidence to even "hear" the case in court, the student will still be required to meet with Judicial Affairs for a hearing. The University judicial process runs separately and concurrently to any process the law requires, and determines responsibility based on the preponderance of evidence. Under these circumstances, this process is not considered double jeopardy.

When it has been determined that a student is responsible for violating any provision of this Code, one or more sanctions may be imposed. The following is a non-exhaustive list of potential sanctions that may be utilized individually or in combination:

1. 1. Warning- A notice in writing to the student.
   2. Probation- A written reprimand for violation for specified regulations. Probation is for a designated period of time and includes the probability of more severe disciplinary sanctions, including suspension or expulsion, if the student is found to be violating any University regulation(s) during the probationary period.
   3. Loss of Privileges- Denial of specified privileges for a designated period of time. 
   4. Educational Assignment- A student is required to complete a specified educational assignment related to the violation committed. This may include completion of a workshop, seminar, class, report, paper, project, alcohol or drug program, consultation, assessment, evaluation, and/or counseling.
   5. Fines- Based on the violation and number of offenses, fines ranging from $50 - $250 may be imposed.
   6. Restitution- Compensation for loss, damage, or injury. This may take the form of appropriate service and/or monetary or material replacement.
   7. Parent Notification- a written notice to parent/guardian(s) may be sent as a result of violations related to the alcohol (under 21), drugs, weapons, and physical violence.
   8. Counseling Consultation- the student will attend an individual or group counseling session through Health and Counseling Services.
   9. Online Education Course- Based on the violation, students could be assigned to enroll, pay for and complete an online course.
   10. Interim or Supportive Measures- actions taken while a resolution to a situation is still pending.
   11. Discretionary Sanctions- Work assignments, service to the University or community as well as other related discretionary assignments (such assignments must have the prior approval of the Conduct Administrator), etc.
   12. No Contact Order- The student may have no further contact or communications with a student who was their accuser or otherwise involved with the Code violation.
   13. Residence Hall Access- Separation of the student from the residence halls for a definite period of time, after which the student is eligible to return. Condition(s) for readmission may be specified. A student may also be required to transfer to a different residence hall on campus.  Permanent separation of the student from the residence halls may also occur.
   14. Campus Ban- Order, warning, or directive prohibiting access to University property. This may take the form of a formal Trespass Warning issued by the 51AV A&M Police Department. 
   15. University Suspension- Separation of the student from the University for a definite or indefinite period of time. When a student is eligible to return, conditions for readmission may be specified.
   16. Deferred Suspension- The student may be subject to delayed suspension, if the University subsequently determines they have failed to comply with the conditions placed upon continued enrollment at 51AV A&M or if the student is found responsible for additional conduct violation(s).
   17. University Expulsion- Separation of the student from the University permanently. A student permanently expelled is prohibited from reapplying to the University in the future or from earning a degree from any of its colleges or schools. If a disciplinary action results in a recommendation that expulsion is the appropriate sanction, then the Vice President for Student Affairs shall review the sanction and shall make the final decision to expel after consultation with the President of the University. Because a decision to expel a student is made after consultation with the President, a student has no right to request a review of the sanction of expulsion.
