The Discipline System
The Discipline System
The University discipline system recognizes that not all violations of local, state, and federal law affect the interests of the University community, and the discipline system accepts jurisdiction only in those instances in which the University community's interest is substantially affected. Conduct for which students are subject to discipline includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Physical abuse, intimidation, harassment or coercion.
- Sexual misconduct: any sexual activity that does not involve the knowing consent of each individual, expressed verbally or otherwise.
- Hazing.
- The use of force or violence, actual or threatened, to willfully deny or interfere with performance of duties or freedom of movement by any member or guest of the University on property or facilities owned or controlled by the University.
- Any conduct that substantially threatens or interferes with the maintenance of appropriate order and discipline in the operation of the University.
- Theft of, defacement of, unauthorized use of, or damage to property or facilities owned or controlled by the University or by a member or guest of the University.
- Unauthorized possession, duplication, or use of keys to any University premises, or unauthorized entry to or use of University premises.
- Abuse of computers, including, but not limited to unauthorized entry into a file, transfer of a file, or use of another individual's identification, account, or password.
- Actions that occur on University premises or property and result in the violation of local, state, or federal law, Board of Trustees action, or University rules of conduct.
- Actions that violate any laws or regulations that substantially affect the interests of the University community even though such actions do not occur on University property or premises.
The University reserves the right to deny admission or readmission to any person because of previous misconduct that may substantially affect the interests of the University or to admit or readmit such a person on an appropriate disciplinary status. The admission or readmission of such a person will not be approved or denied until the case has been heard by the appropriate disciplinary committee.
Complaints that may require disciplinary action are sent to the Office of the Senate Committee on Student Discipline, which refers them to the Dean of the Graduate College. The Dean or a designee acting as disciplinary officer for the Graduate College may take administrative action or may prepare formal charges and send them to the Subcommittee on Student Conduct for Graduate Students. Appeals of decisions of this subcommittee are made directly to the Senate Committee on Student Discipline.
More detailed information concerning the University discipline system is available from the Office of the Senate Committee on Student Discipline and in the Code of Policies and Regulations Applying to All Students (http://www.uiuc.edu/admin_manual/code/).
