Sanctions Overview

Tulane University employs two distinct types of sanctions in the Student Conduct Process. 

Accountability Sanctions: Accountability sanctions place the student on some variation of an accountability status with the university. The lowest level of accountability sanctions take the form of either a verbal or written warning status. Disciplinary Probation may preclude the student from participating in certain extra curricular activities while the student is on status. The most severe accountability sanctions are ones that result in a separation from the university community. University suspension and/or expulsion are reserved as possible outcomes for Major Matter Investigation cases and are not viable accountability sanction options for educational conferences or administrative hearings. 

Educational Sanctions: Educational sanctions are assigned in order to afford the student an opportunity to learn from the student conduct process. As a result, these sanctions are individually tailored to best fit with the needs of the student during the conduct process. Some examples of this type of sanction include, reflective essays, policy reviews, drug and/or alcohol assessment, community service, and more. 

Sanction Due Dates: Sanction due dates are communicated to the student via the outcome letter. Students who miss sanction due dates may incur noncompliance fines and/or account holds.
