The Vice President for Student Life and Enrollment or designee may impose an interim University Probation, University Suspension, an interim Removal from Housing, an interim Loss of Recognition, and/or other necessary restrictions on a student prior to a student conduct resolution on the student’s alleged violation. Such action may be taken when, in the professional judgment of a University official, a threat of imminent harm to persons or property exists, and/or there is potential for significant disruption to the community that exists during the course of investigation.

Interim administrative action is not a sanction. It is taken in an effort to protect the safety and well-being of the respondent, of the complainant, of others, of the University, or of property. Interim administrative action is preliminary in nature; it is in effect only until there is a resolution of the student conduct matter. The respondent may challenge the interim action in writing to the next level of conduct authority within five (5) days of the imposition of the interim action. The interim action will be in effect during the challenge.
