Restitution Residents may be required to provide reimbursement for damage(s) or misappropriation of University property, or the property of others, while that property is on University Housing premises or at the place of an official University Apartments function. Reimbursement may take the form of monetary payment, appropriate service, repair of damage, or other compensation. Community Service and Required - Program Participation Residents may be required to perform a specific number of hours of unpaid mandatory service to the University Apartments community and/or a specific behavior agreement to prevent further problems in the community and/or required attendance at specific programs or workshops. Failure to abide by sanctions noted in this paragraph may be cause for further disciplinary action. Failure to comply with the conditions of mandatory service or required program participation shall result in a HOLD being placed on the student’s records and registration. A HOLD on student records and registration will, for example, prevent the student from registering and from obtaining transcripts, verifications, or a diploma from the University until the student satisfies the conditions of the sanction. Loss of Privileges Residents may be excluded from participation in designated activities, such as, but not limited to, Returning Resident Sign-Up, parking, pool/whirlpool area, etc., for a specified time. Violation of any conditions in the written notice of loss of privileges or violation of University Apartments Regulations during the period of the sanction may be cause for further disciplinary action.

This sanction may be imposed when a student has repeatedly violated policies and regulations, or when there is reasonable cause to believe that the student’s continued residence in University Housing will lead to physical abuse, threats of violence, or conduct that threatens the health or safety of any person in University Housing or at official University Apartments functions, or other disruptive activity incompatible with the orderly operations of University Housing. Area Restriction Residents may be restricted from entering a specified University Housing facility.
