1. Guidelines for 8 pm In-Room Restriction

An 8 pm restriction begins at 8 pm and lasts through 7:30 am the following morning. During this restriction, the student is expected to remain in his or her room and remain quiet.

Specifically:

• Students must meet with the Residence Life Coordinator immediately prior to serving this sanction. • The student may not leave his or her room. • The student may not be in his or her suitemates’ room. • The student may not have a guest or suitemates in his or her room. • The student’s roommate may not have a guest(s) or his or her suitemates in his or her room. • The student may not use the bathroom area for interactions/conversations with anyone. • The student may not have room doors open. • Emergency phone calls should be directed to the Residence Life Coordinator on duty so that the messages can be relayed. • The student may not go to club meetings, lounges, lobby, etc. • In case of an EMERGENCY, the student may contact the Residence Life Coordinator on duty directly. Please discuss what constitutes an emergency with the Residence Life

Coordinator prior to the start of your restriction. Students should respond appropriately to fire alarms and related emergency procedures. • The student is required to report any violations of the guidelines that occur while you are serving this restriction. • Violations may result in repeating the sanction with additional nights as penalty, 48-hour in-room restriction, or immediate suspension to home.

2. Guidelines for 48-Hour In-Room Restriction

This restriction begins at 8:00 pm on any night and ends at 8:00 pm 48 hours later.

• All guidelines for 8 pm restriction apply.

1 Psychological screening and/or counseling by a private counselor may be required before re-entry to GSSM. Any expense incurred will be the responsibility of the student's parent/guardian. 2 Students who are dismissed for disciplinary reasons are not permitted to attend GSSM events.

• The student will have 30 minutes for each meal. This time may be spent only in the cafeteria for meals. The student may not spend extra time socializing with other students. The student will be required to schedule these times with the Residence Life

Coordinator on duty prior to the start of your restriction. • The student may be required to do several hours work detail during the sanction period including Suite Rotation. • If there problems or questions during the restriction, the student will have to either talk with/leave a note for the Residence Life Coordinator on duty during the 30-minute meal break OR send his or her roommate down with a message/note. • Violations may result in immediate suspension to home.

3. Probation

A student may be placed on disciplinary probation if he or she has the following violations during an academic year:

• One set of 6 Level 1 violations and a Level 2 violation. • Two sets of 6 Level 1 violations. • At the discretion of the Dean of Students after any Level 2. • Two Level 2 violations. • Any Level 3 violation.

Students will remain on probation for the semester in which it was imposed, plus one additional semester, except in unusual circumstances as determined by the Dean of Students or the Judicial Council. a. Violation of Probation: A student is in violation of probation if he or she has one set of six Level 1’s, a Level 2, or a Level 3 infraction while on probation. The violation of probation may result in suspension or expulsion from GSSM. b. Possible Restrictions: Students on disciplinary probation may not be allowed to participate in certain school activities, athletic events, or trips based on the nature of the violation. These restrictions will be imposed by the appropriate administrator (e.g. participation in athletics events will be assessed by the Director of Athletics. School activities and Residence Life trips will be assessed by the Dean of Students, etc.). Any restrictions will be communicated to the student and the parents. A student on probation should exercise great personal responsibility and integrity during this time of learning, growth, and consequence. Probation is best interpreted as a time to learn from mistakes while abiding by all GSSM community standards and related expectations as outlined in the Student Handbook.

4. On Campus Suspension

Students may be sanctioned to On Campus Suspension for any Level 2 or Level 3 infraction.

This suspension allows the student to remain in residence and attend classes. When not in class, students serving On Campus Suspension will be required to remain in a monitored space during the academic day, and they will be restricted to their rooms after 6:00 p.m. until the next morning. Students serving On Campus Suspension will be required to sign out for the weekend during the period of the suspension. Additionally, students cannot participate in any extra-curricular activities including athletics, club activities, field trips, etc. In some cases, students with this status may be required to move out of their assigned residence hall room for the period of suspension. Like probation, a violation of On Campus Suspension may result in expulsion from GSSM.

5. Suspension

Students may be suspended for Level 2 or Level 3 offenses by processes described in the

Section on Investigation and Imposition of Sanctions. The number of days of suspension will depend on the details of the infraction, but will not exceed seven academic days. The
