Suspension and Expulsion
Most students who leave the ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é involuntarily do so for academic reasons, through separation. Although relatively rare, students may be required to leave the University for disciplinary reasons, either for academic honesty violations or for non-academic misconduct.
Suspension
The Board on Academic Honesty can impose suspension for one or more semesters. Students suspended for academic dishonesty are withdrawn from the University after any appeal has been processed.
Students’ general academic standing is determined using the criteria included on the probation and separation page, and they are sent a letter of withdrawal saying that they are considered to be either on academic probation or in good standing. They are told when an application for readmission will be considered, and reminded that credit earned during the suspension will not be transferred back to the student’s degree program. The letter does not mention the reason for the suspension.
As with all withdrawal letters, copies go to the student’s parents if the student is under 21, to the student’s official faculty advisor, and to the International Services Office when relevant. No notation is placed on the transcript when a student is suspended for a violation of the Academic Honesty policy.
More information about this penalty, and the procedure for appeal, can be found on the academic honesty website.
Expulsions
Students can be expelled for violating the College’s Academic Honesty Policy or the Standards of Student Conduct. Students expelled for academic or non-academic misconduct are withdrawn from the University and are not eligible to enroll at the University in a future semester.
As with all withdrawal letters, copies go to the student’s parents if the student is under 21, to the student’s official faculty advisor, and to the International Services Office when relevant.

Non-Academic Misconduct Suspensions
Students can be suspended for violating the Standards of Student Conduct. Students suspended for non-academic misconduct are withdrawn from the University after any appeal has been processed.
Students’ general academic standing is determined using the criteria included on the probation and separation page, and they are sent a letter of withdrawal saying that they are considered to be either on academic probation or in good standing. They are told when an application for readmission will be considered, and reminded if necessary of any preliminary approval they may need before an application for readmission can be considered. The letter does not mention the reason for the suspension.
As with all withdrawal letters, copies go to the student’s parents if the student is under 21, to the student’s official faculty advisor, and to the International Services Office when relevant.
When a student is charged with a non-academic disciplinary violation of the Standards of Student Conduct, a comment may be added to the transcript. Students should consult the Standards of Student Conduct policy for more information.
