Student Conduct Code - Interim Suspension

8.090. Interim Suspension. In certain circumstances, the Dean of Student Affairs, or his/her designee, may impose a University or residence hall suspension prior to a conduct hearing.

The University reserves the right to exercise its authority of interim suspension upon notification that a student is facing criminal investigation and/or charges. The University will permit any student who receives an interim suspension to request a meeting with the Dean of Student Affairs or designee to show cause why an interim suspension is not merited.  Regardless of the outcome of this meeting, the university may still proceed with the scheduling of a campus hearing. 

8.090.1. Reasons. Interim suspension may be imposed only to ensure the safety and well-being of members of the University community or preservation of any University premises, to ensure a student's own physical or emotional safety and well-being, or if the student or student organization poses a reasonable threat of disruption of, or interference with, the normal operations of the University.

8.090.2. Denial of Access. During the interim suspension, a student or student organization may be denied access to any or all University premises, or any activities or events arranged or sponsored by the University or student organizations, as the Dean of Student Affairs or his/her designee may determine to be appropriate.
