7. Restitution: Reimbursement for damage to or misappropriation of property. This may take the form of appropriate service or other compensation. 8.

Expulsion/Dismissal: Permanent termination of student status. 12. Revocation of Admission: The student loses admitted status to Elmhurst College. A permanent notation will be made on the student’s transcript indicating that the admission was revoked and the date of the action. In addition, a student may be asked to consult specialized counseling help, resign from certain obligations on campus, meet community service obligations, avoid contact with persons or be prohibited from entering campus facilities, complete educational assignments or if a resident student, be required to change the location of his/her room or leave his/her residence hall as part of his or her judicial sanction. In cases involving sexual assault or other sexual misconduct, the College may impose additional remedies as outlined in the College’s Non-discrimination/Non-harassment Policy. If a student is found responsible in an off-campus court of law, the institution may impose additional sanctions. However, it is possible for the College to find the student responsible for violation(s) of the code of conduct even if the student is not found “guilty” in a court of law. This is due to the educational judicial process being based on a preponderance of evidence, which is different than the legal requirement of evidence (guilt beyond a reasonable doubt). The College may institute its own proceedings against a student who violates a civil or criminal law on campus, which is also a violation of a published institution regulation. If a student is suspended or dismissed, he/she is required to withdraw immediately from the College. The student should understand that the College does not arbitrarily dismiss him/her; in the great majority of cases the student who is dismissed will find the College willing to reinstate him or her whenever he or she gives evidence of greater maturity and ability to assume responsibility. However, suspended or dismissed students receive no academic credit for their currently enrolled term and are fully responsible for all appropriate financial obligations.
