Violations
of residence hall rules can result in a resident having to
face a range of administrative sanctions. Sanctions 1-3 may
be implemented at the community level or as a result of a
Conference or Hearing.
- Warning
Letters
- Further violations may result in a referral or a more
serious sanction. The letter is kept on file for one calendar
year.
- Administrative
Housing Probation - Probation is a serious Administrative Sanction and is
deemed as the Final Warning. In conjunction with this sanction
two (2) housing priority points will be permanently deducted
from a resident's total number of housing priority points.
Committing any violation while on active Housing Probation
is an automatic "A" level violation. Probation letters are
kept for one year after the end of the probationary period.
A resident will be precluded from employment with the
Department of Resident Life as a Customer Service Supervisor,
Resident Assistant or Head Resident and from serving as
a Judicial Board member. A resident may be precluded
from employment, including but not limited to the positions
of: Community Assistant and office Clerical Assistant.
- Community
Service Project - A community service project is
assigned in addition to, or in lieu of, other sanctions
or referrals. The project will be completed under the supervision
of Resident Life staff.
- Administrative
Housing Termination - This sanction may be implemented
only after a Conference or Hearing. Records on those students
whose housing has been terminated are kept for three years.
The conditions of Administrative Housing Termination are
as follows:
- Residents
are notified that the Residence Halls / Dining Services
Agreement is terminated. The current assignment must
be vacated, usually within forty-eight (48)
hours.
- Residents
may also be prohibited from re-entering
their former residence hall or any/all University of
Maryland residence halls. This additional sanction is
called Denial of Access and, if violated, can result
in suspension/expulsion from the University.
- The period
of Housing Termination is stated in the sanction letter
from the Community Director. Students who wish to return
before the date stated in the sanction letter must write
to their Community Director. The Community Director
will make a recommendation to the Director of Resident
Life who will review the recommendation and notify the
student of the decision.
Students
receiving these sanctions can be rendered ineligible to
lease space in the University Courtyard and South Campus
Commons Apartment Communities. |
