Sanctioning Guidelines

Sanctions are conditions placed upon a student when a decision has been made that the student is responsible for a violation of policy as charged. The following guidelines will be used when determining sanctions:

  • The protection of the BSC community from inappropriate behavior, including negative impact on individuals, groups or organizations that are part of the college.
  • The attitude of the accused student, including the students understanding of the impact of their behavior, potential for changing that behavior in the future and its effect on the community.
  • The behavioral history of the accused student, including all documented confrontations with college officials and conduct records. This information will be viewed only to assist in determining sanction(s) once a decision of responsibility has been reached.
  • Any mitigating circumstance that may have affected the case, including documented medical or emotional issues, death of friends or family members, or illness.

Types of Sanctions


  • Disciplinary warning: An official written reprimand that includes a warning that further violations of the code will result in more severe sanctions.
  • Disciplinary probation: A temporary status for a specific period of time not to exceed one year during which further violations of the Student Conduct Code may result in suspension or expulsion.
  • Loss of privileges: Denial of specified privileges for a designated period of time.
  • Educational: Work assignments, educational service, or other related assignments.
  • Restitution: Compensation for loss, damage, or injury.
  • Parental Notification
  • Temporary suspension from residence halls: A temporary status in which students may no longer enter into or remain within 50 feet of any residence hall facility or adjacent grounds, including the Great Hill Student Apartments, for a period of one or two semesters or balance thereof. Persons violating this sanction are subject to arrest for trespassing.
  • Permanent suspension from residence halls: A permanent status in which students may no longer enter into or remain within 50 feet of any residence hall facility or adjacent grounds, including the Great Hill Student Apartments. Persons violating this sanction are subject to arrest for trespassing.
  • College suspension: Removal from the college for a period of one or two semesters or balance thereof. The college restricts students from course registration, class attendance, participation in cocurricular activities and college housing during this time.
