There are a variety of reasons that the Office of Student Conduct may place a hold on a student record. Please contact the Office of Student Conduct immediately to determine why there is a hold on your specific account. That depends on the materials in the file and the educational plans of the student. Please contact the Office of Student Conduct to review your file based on your specific academic goals. Staff in the Office of Student Conduct have sufficient experience to review your file and describe the possible effects, as well as any opportunities you might have to mitigate those effects.
Different opportunities have different expectations and restrictions.
There are some experiences, such as becoming a Residence Hall Staff Member, which prohibit the student from having any active sanction, such as Disciplinary Probation. In addition, there are prohibitions preventing a student under an active sanction from running for an elected student government position. Some programs, like Study Abroad and University Housing, ask students to submit to a records check as part of the application process. Having a disciplinary record does not automatically disqualify a student from all activities or opportunities, but does impact some experiences. It is important to check with the office or program coordinator for the specific opportunity, before making a commitment.
