Common College Student Offenses
What a few years ago likely would have been deemed a typical indiscretion, consuming alcohol for example, now has significant consequences. Academic officials have taken the lead in implementing significant sanctions for mere allegations. Any criminal charge will likely lead to adverse action by the school.
Such charges include but are not limited to:
- Minor in Possession/Consumption
- DUI/DWAI
- Drug Possession
- Harassment
- Assault
- Domestic Violence
- Theft
- Obstruction/Resisting
Even if the charges are dismissed, the school is likely to find you in violation of the Student Code of Conduct. For more information regarding the Student Code of Conduct follow the links below:
