By choosing to live in a residence hall, you elect to reside in an academic community. As a member of this community, you have rights as a resident and as a student. Please recognize that other members of this community have these same rights and responsibilities, and that your rights and responsibilities should not infringe upon those of another. It is important to learn to compromise with others in order to maintain an environment in which all members of the community may grow as individuals and pursue learning as a cornerstone of the campus residential experience.

Community Standards are established to assist in shaping this environment, to protect your rights, and to define your responsibilities to others. You are expected to abide by local, state and federal laws, the University’s Student Code of Conduct (http:// deanofstudents.arizona.edu/studentcodeofconduct), the University’s Nondiscrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy (http:// policy.web.arizona.edu/Non-discrim-interim.pdf), and Residence Life Community Standards and General Procedures. Responsibility for a violation of a Community Standard is based on whether it is more probable than not that the violation occurred, as concluded by a reasonable interpretation of available facts and relevant information. Note: If police are involved, the case may be referred to the Dean of Students Office. You may be referred to the Dean of Students Office for alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct, violations of the Community Standards or for not completing sanctions resulting from a finding of responsibility. For more information on the Student Code of Conduct go to http://deanofstudents.arizona.edu/studentcodeofconduct or contact the Dean of Students Office at (520) 621-7057.

AIR CONDITIONERS You may not have a personal air conditioner in your room.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES In order to legally possess or consume alcohol in the State of Arizona, you must be at least 21 years of age. Because the majority of those living in residence halls are under 21, there are limits to alcohol possession, consumption and distribution, even if you are at least 21. If you are found responsible for a first alcohol offense, you will be sanctioned to attend a Student Health Alcohol Drug Education (SHADE) class, receive a monetary sanction, community service, deferred eviction and your parents will be notified. If found responsible for a second alcohol offense, you will be evicted from the residence halls. Note: There is a fee for the alcohol and drug programs. You must register in advance with Health Promotions (520) 621-5700. If you are not at least 21, you may not possess, consume or distribute alcohol in or around the residence halls. • If you are at least 21, you may possess or consume alcohol within the following limits: • In your room with the door closed • In the room of another resident who is at least 21 and present in the room with the door closed Even if you are at least 21, you may not possess or consume alcohol: • In any common space (hallway, lounge, community bathroom) or your room with the door open • In a room where no resident of the room is present and at least 21 • From a container greater than 40 ounces in size • Even if you are at least 21, you may not distribute alcohol to anyone under 21

• Aggravated Assault Aggravated assault is an unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury. This type of assault is usually accompanied by the use of a weapon or by means likely to produce death or great bodily harm. Attempts are included, since it is not necessary that an injury result when a gun, knife or other weapon is used, which could and probably would result in serious personal injury if the crime were successfully completed. If found responsible for aggravated assault, you will be evicted.

This includes, but is not limited to: sprinklers, detectors, extinguishers, horns, pull stations, exit signs, defibrillator equipment and the like. Do not prop open or otherwise interfere with the proper operation of intended smoke and heat barrier purposes of fire doors (typically corridor and stairwell doors) and do not block or otherwise obstruct hallways or building exits. Do not activate a false fire alarm or make any false report that may cause building evacuation (e.g., bomb threat). Understand that if you do (or in any way participate in) such an action, you will be subject to a $350 fine and eviction from the residence hall system, as well as possible suspension or expulsion from the University and criminal prosecution. Follow these fire safety guidelines: • Use UL-approved electric cords and products and use them according to manufacturer directions. • Ensure that equipment or electrical appliances you use in the building are in excellent working condition at all times. • Do not overload any electrical outlets; only power strips with surge protective/circuit breakers are permitted. • Do not decorate ceilings with hangings or other flammable items (including holiday decorations), nor in a manner that could contribute to fire spread, including not hanging or attaching anything to or on any lamp or light fixture. • Do not hang any objects in front of your closet. • Do not obstruct or tamper with fire sprinkler heads, smoke or heat detectors, room doors or windows. • Do not attach, hang or store anything on fire sprinkler heads or any pipes exposed in your room or hallway. • Do not burn or possess candles, incense, kerosene lamps, lighter fluid, propane or charcoal. • Do not have materials hazardous to the health and safety of residents in residence halls.

You may not haze anyone. If you are being hazed, or you know that hazing is occurring, call the hazing hotline at (520) 621-HAZE.

KEYS and CARD ACCESS Card-access buildings require the use of your University CatCard and individual Door Access Code to enter the exterior doors of your building. Keys and your CatCard are your responsibility and are not to be given to others to use. You will be issued a key to your assigned room and, where applicable, an entrance door key to your building and/or mailbox. You are required to return all keys issued when you check out. If you have issues with your CatCard or keys, please inform staff at the front desk of your residence hall.

LOBBIES and RECREATION AREAS Your residence hall has common areas that you and your guests may use. Consumption of food or drink is allowed with care and discretion. Appropriate conduct is expected of you and your guests. Please pick up any trash and return any furniture to its proper location. You may not sleep in the lobby or recreation areas, nor may your guests.

MOPEDS and MOTORCYCLES You may not operate, park, or store a moped, motorized bicycle or motorcycle in your room or within your hall, including the courtyard.

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS Musical Instruments, brought for recreation or as a component of your academic major, may not be played inside the residence hall, unless practiced in a designated area or music room. Please talk with your Community Director about an appropriate location for practicing. The music building is an alternative location where you can play your instrument.

PAINTING You may not paint your room.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY You are responsible and accountable for your behavior and for the choices you make as a member of the residence hall community. You may not engage in behaviors that are illegal or could endanger yourself or others in the community, including self-harming behaviors.

PETS You may not have pets in the residence hall except fish in a single tank no larger than 10Â gallons.

POOL USE You must follow all posted rules at each of the swimming pools. If you fail to follow the posted rules, you can be transferred to a building without a pool. There are no lifeguards at any of our pools. If you choose to swim, you do so at your own risk.

POSTING You may use some bulletin boards in the halls for posting notices to publicize authorized University-sponsored events. The materials that you post or display must be approved by the Community Director and comply with fire safety guidelines. Affix all materials to surfaces in a manner that will do neither temporary nor permanent damage to those surfaces. You may not post notices in student mailboxes. Organizations may request permission to post by contacting Residential Education at (520) 621-4638.

PRANKS You may not perpetrate pranks in the residence halls. Pranks may cause physical and/or psychological damage.


If you are present in a student room, residence hall or at a Residence Life function where a violation of a Community Standard or University policy is occurring, you will be in violation. If you are present and realize a violation is occurring, you must leave the room and/or area immediately and report the violations to hall staff immediately. Presence during a violation includes, but is not limited to: being in a residence hall room while others are consuming alcohol; disruption of quiet hours; and vandalizing hall property.

QUIET HOURS/NOISE You may not make noise disruptive to others either inside and outside of residence halls (including the courtyard and surrounding areas). Practice courtesy and consideration for others at all times. If noise is bothering one person on the floor, wing or in the building, it is too loud. If the noise can be heard one door away, or on the floor above or below yours, whether doors are open or not, it is too loud. • Quiet hours (the absence of loud noise or distractions) are in effect:

Sunday through Thursday 10 PM to 10 AM

Friday and Saturday Midnight to 10 AM.

At other times, you are expected to exercise good judgment with respect to making excessive noise. Do not make or cause noise that infringes on the rights and needs of others to sleep and study. Staff members are not required to give you a verbal warning prior to the documentation of this or any other policy. The Community Standards serve as your warning. If you would like to make quiet hours more restrictive, please consult with your hall council. • Courtesy hours are in effect 24 hours a day. Any loud noise or distraction that attracts the attention of other students and/or staff members is incompatible with a proper hall environment. • Excessive noise at any hour is unacceptable. Do not yell or direct amplified sound out of or at residents’ windows. Do not play musical instruments in your room. Maintain reasonable quiet in courtyard areas. Noise may be deemed disruptive if it can be heard through a closed door or window. You are expected to respond positively to requests to reduce noise and to respectfully approach others with requests for noise reduction. • Enforcing quiet hours or courtesy hours is the responsibility of everyone in the hall, not only the RAs or Community Directors. If the noise bothers you, please ask the person(s) involved to decrease the noise level. Everyone has a different idea of what is and isn’t loud, but everyone should keep the noise to a minimum. • Contact the RA or Community Director to ask someone to keep the noise level down only after you have asked the person to decrease the noise level and they have ignored your request. At that time, the RA or Community Director will contact the person. • Final exam quiet hours are in effect 24 hours on specified Quiet Hour days just prior to final exams. Those dates and times will be posted in your hall and are strictly enforced.

RESPECT FOR PROPERTY and the ENVIRONMENT You are responsible for maintaining a positive residence hall environment. Any action that damages property, or in any way disrupts any individual, including but not limited to: vandalism and uncleanliness, is not acceptable.

SEXUAL OFFENSES • Sexual Assault A person commits sexual assault by intentionally or knowingly engaging in sexual intercourse (penetration into the penis, vulva or anus by any part of the body or by any object, or causing a person to engage in such contact) or oral sexual contact (oral contact with the penis, vulva or anus) with any person without consent of such person (ARS 13-1406). Without consent means any of the following (ARS 13-1401): • The victim is coerced by the immediate use of force or threatened use of force against a person or property. • The victim is incapable of consent by reason of mental disorder, drugs, alcohol, sleep or other similar impairment of cognition and such condition is known or should have reasonably been known to the perpetrator.


• The victim is intentionally deceived to erroneously believe that the person is the victim’s spouse. • Sexual Misconduct Sexual misconduct is defined as any direct or indirect touching, fondling, exposing or manipulating of any part of the genitals, anus or female breast by any part of the body or by any object or causing a person to engage in such contact.

THEFT You may not commit theft of University or personal property in the residence halls. Stealing may lead to criminal prosecution. Theft includes borrowing without permission or possession of stolen property.

THREATENING BEHAVIOR Threatening behavior is prohibited. The University defines “threatening behavior” as any statement, communication, conduct or gesture, including those in written form, directed toward any member of the University community that causes a reasonable apprehension of physical harm to a person or property. A student can be guilty of threatening behavior even if the person who is the object of the threat does not observe or receive it, so long as a reasonable person would interpret the maker’s statement, communication, conduct or gesture as a serious expression of intent to physically harm. The Policy on Threatening Behavior by Students can be found at the following site: http://web.arizona.edu/~policy/threatening.pdf

TRASH DISPOSAL You are responsible for the proper disposal of your own trash. Trash depositories are located outside of all halls, and you must deposit all trash in these areas. Do not place trash in the hallway or common areas. You can be charged for any associated labor costs for cleanup of trash in common areas. Trash includes pizza boxes. Please see the section entitled “Recycling and Sustainability” in General Procedures.

UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS You may not enter restricted access areas. These areas may include, but are not limited to: front desks, roofs of residence halls and mechanical/custodial rooms. You may not use another student’s keys or CatCard to enter a residence hall or residence hall room.

VANDALISM You will be held financially responsible for any damages to property or loss of property due to your individual behavior or participation in any group activities. Residents of an entire floor or residence hall may be held responsible for activities, inattention, vandalism or neglect that results in loss or damage to University property. Damage charges are added to your University account. You must maintain your assigned room in a safe condition.

VISITATION RESTRICTION Visitation restriction means that you are forbidden to be present in a specific residence hall or halls. In cases of eviction, you may not be present in any University-operated residence hall indefinitely. You need prior written permission from the Director of Residence Life or designee to enter these locations. In cases of hall transfers, you are barred from being in your current hall indefinitely, unless you receive prior written permission from the Director of Residence Life or designee.

It is the policy of the University of Arizona to maintain access to local, national, and international networks for the purpose of supporting its fundamental activities of instruction, research, outreach and administration. As you use the Residence Life network, you must take necessary measures to safeguard the operating integrity of the systems and the accessibility of those systems to other users. This policy covers all persons accessing computer or network resources through any Residence Life facility. The following policies govern the use of the Residence Life network: 1. Use the network in a manner consistent with all local, state and federal laws and all University policies including the Student Code of Conduct (found at http://deanofstudents.arizona.edu/policiesandcodes/studentcodeofconduct) and the University of Arizona’s Guidelines Governing Acceptable Use of Information and Network Systems (found at http://security.arizona.edu/aup).

2. You may not modify Residence Life network services or wiring, nor may you modify or extend them beyond the area of their intended use. This applies to all network wiring, hardware and in-room jacks. You may not connect routers or wireless routers or devices that act as routers (i.e., personal networks). However, you may use simple switches to provide more network connections within your room.

3. You may not use the residential network or provide University or internet access to anyone outside of the University com- munity for any purpose.

4. You may not provide network services from your computer. This includes, but is not limited to: DHCP, DNS, FTP, HTTP/S, IRC, POP, IMAP, SMTP and SSH. If you have a documented academic need to provide such services from your personal computer, you must have prior written authorization from Residence Life Technology Services before you activate any such service(s) on the Residence Life network.

5. You may not retransmit University-specific network/computing resources or network resources obtained commercially by the University (e.g., University site-licensed software, etc.) outside of the University community.

6. The residential network is a shared resource. You may not use the residential network or applications in any manner that inhibits or interferes with the use of the network by others. For example, you may not run or use: • Applications which use an unusually large portion of the bandwidth for extended periods of time (e.g., peer-to-peer network file, media, music and/or video sharing applications) • Dedicated network game servers (game servers that run and continually listen for connections even with no human players connected) • Applications designed to send repeated email messages or mass email messages (“email bombs” or “bulk mailers”)

7. You may use the residential network for legal purposes only. You may access only those systems, software and data for which you are authorized. You may not share access to copyrighted software or other copyrighted material (including MP3 files from copyrighted music media and digitized video from copyrighted motion pictures, etc.) on the network. You may not use or employ remote administration tools, exploits, hacks, spyware or malicious software or scripts on others’ computers via the network. Only authorized network administrators may use port scanning or network admini- stration software. If you violate this prohibition, you will be referred to the Dean of Students Office for disciplinary action. You may also be prosecuted under state and federal laws.

8. You are required to respect the rights of other users at all times on the network, including their rights as set forth in other University policies for students, faculty, and staff. These rights include, but are not limited to, privacy, freedom from harassment, and freedom of expression. 9. You must know and obey the specific policies established for the systems and networks you access.

10. Under no circumstances may you give others access to University systems. 11. The residential network is provided for uses consistent with the academic mission of the institution. You may not use the network for commercial purposes or for unsolicited advertising. You may not provide open access to files or folders on your computer which contain anything protected by copyright (including MP3 files from copyrighted music media and

If you have participated in, have knowledge of and/or witnessed a violation of the Housing License Agreement, Community Standards, AUP, or General Procedures, you may be asked to appear at a conduct hearing. As a member of this community, you are obligated to help uphold Community Standards and you are strongly encouraged to participate in conduct proceedings when you have information relevant to one or more violations. You may be referred to the Dean of Students Office for alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct, violations of the Community Standards, or for not completing sanctions resulting from a finding of responsibility. For more information on the Student Code of Conduct go to http://deanofstudents.arizona.edu/uapolicies or contact the Dean of Students Office at (520) 6217057. The University reserves the right to temporarily or permanently move or remove a student from Residence Life housing based on violations of the Community Standards, the Student Code of Conduct, other applicable Board of Regents or University policies, procedures, or codes, violations of federal, state or other applicable law or for any other administrative reason with its sole discretion. If you have knowledge of and/or witnessed a violation of the Housing License Agreement, Community Standards, AUP or General Procedures, please submit an Incident Report at the following site and fill in the report information as completely as possible: http://deanofstudents.arizona.edu/conduct_complaint_form We expect you to be honest and without prejudice in reporting violations and/or when participating in conduct proceedings or investigations. One of the principle goals of the University of Arizona is to provide students with a quality education. This involves “providing an atmosphere conducive to the student’s intellectual development integrated with that of other facets of his/ her personality–religious, moral, emotional, aesthetic, physical, social.” With the help of the Community Director and the staff, individual students must assume the responsibility for establishing and maintaining an academic atmosphere beneficial to all. Certain forms of behavior which disturb or offend others and/or violate the rights of others living and working on campus, or which run counter to a major goal of the University, may result in a disciplinary procedure/action. For this reason, and to protect the rights of the community, Residence Life staff has the responsibility and the authority to document, to correct, to counsel and to administer sanctions when necessary.

Conduct-Related Correspondence Residence Life communicates with you two ways: •

Via email to your UA email account (<username>@email.arizona.edu). Please add the domain email.arizona.edu to your address book so that University mail does not go into your spam folder. This is the official method for University communi- cations and the primary method by which Residence Life delivers conduct-related information. A conduct-related email message will contain a tracking link which you must follow to authenticate your identity and to access detailed information regarding incidents in which you were involved. You must access this information immediately. Refer to the University’s Official Student Email Policy, “Use of Email for Official Correspondence with Students” at http://www.registrar.arizona.edu/ emailpolicy.htm. If you encounter any problems, please send an email to conductadmin@life.arizona.edu.

• A hard-copy mail to your residence hall mailbox. Check your mailbox frequently and pay close attention to any Residence Life correspondence you receive. You may receive a package slip and be required to sign for the conduct letter. As a student at the University of Arizona, it is your responsibility to review these messages in a timely manner and respond as instructed.

The Conduct Process


Page 18

Disciplinary Action Procedures This section describes the conduct process: notification of charges, your rights in an administrative hearing and how you can appeal a decision. If you are confused at any point, please ask a staff member for clarification. 1. You violate a Community Standard, policy, procedure or law, and this is brought to the attention of a Residence Life staff member. 2. The staff member investigates and, depending on the circumstances, takes one or more of the following actions: • Issues a verbal warning and advises you that recurrence will result in further action and notes the warning in the Warning Log maintained for future reference • Completes an Incident Report and submits it to the Community Director (which initiates the formal conduct proceeding process) • Requests that witnesses complete an Incident Report as part of the incident documentation that is submitted to the Hearing Officer • Notifies UAPD. At this point, the issue becomes a legal matter and is subject to applicable procedures for legal warnings, arrest and prosecution, in addition to Residence Life and University action. 3. The Hearing Officer reviews all Incident Reports and takes one or more of the following actions: • • • • •

Sends a written warning reminding you of the Community Standards Meets informally with you to address the situation Schedules a hearing for you with a Community Director to address the situation Refers the case to the Dean of Students Office for their review Determines that no action needs to be taken

4. The Hearing Officer sends you a Notice to Appear letter containing the alleged violations against you, a hearing time and location and a narrative of the incident. You will receive the Incident Review Hearing Notification either via email at your <username>@email.arizona.edu account, or via mail in your residence hall mailbox. You must respond as instructed. 5. An Incident Review Hearing is scheduled to accomplish the following objectives: • To address the conduct process and review your procedural rights • To review the incident, provide you with an opportunity to discuss the alleged violation(s) and provide an opportunity for you to accept or deny responsibility for the incident • To determine which Community Standards or policies you have violated, if any, and if you are found responsible, to issue the relevant sanctions • To review expectations for living in a community, clarify Community Standards, encourage you to think about your behavior and its effect on other members of the community, and otherwise learn from this experience 6. Incident Review hearings result in one of the following outcomes as supported by the preponderance of available evidence: • The Hearing Officer determines that you are not responsible for the violation(s) and dismisses the case. • The Hearing Officer determines that you are responsible for the violation(s) charged and issues one or more sanctions. • The Hearing Officer determines that you are not responsible for the stated violations, but are responsible for one or more other violations and assigns sanctions. Note:

If you fail to appear for the Incident Review Hearing as scheduled, the Hearing Officer may issue a sanction in your absence, based on the evidence known to the Hearing Officer at the time of the Incident Review Hearing.

7. At the conclusion of the Incident Review Hearing, you will receive a copy of the Decision Letter. This letter includes the decision and, as applicable, indicates the sanctions imposed. Along with a copy of this letter, you will receive instructions for initiating an optional appeal.

8. You may appeal a conduct decision to the Coordinator for Student Behavioral Education for which a sanction has been imposed. Your appeal must be submitted in writing within two business days following the date your decision letter was sent (indicated on your letter). Not all appeal requests are eligible for an Appeal Hearing. Whether an Appeal Hearing is granted is based upon one (or more) of the following grounds for an appeal:


• Proper procedures were not followed • Bias occurred The Coordinator for Student Behavioral Education will respond to all appeal requests in writing, whether or not an appeal hearing is scheduled. Note: If you fail to appear for your review hearing, the review will be dropped. No decision will be rendered, as the review will be incomplete. Original sanctions and timelines will stand and be enforced. 9. Appeal Hearings are held to accomplish the following objectives: • Summarize the grounds upon which you seek appeal • Provide you the opportunity to substantiate the grounds or appeal with credible evidence • Permit the Appeal Officer to question you and/or the initial Hearing Officer and/or any witnesses • Decide the appeal based on the merits of the grounds for appeal 10. An appeal decision is made. Possible appeal decisions include: • Uphold the original decision and/or sanction • Overturn the original decision and/or sanction • Amend the original decision and/or sanction • Remand the case for a new Incident Review

You will be given an Appeal Hearing Decision summarizing the result of the hearing.

Note: Cases may be reopened when new information is identified and confirmed, where that information could have a material impact on the original decision.

Student Conduct Rights and Responsibilities It is your responsibility to: • Frequently check your University email account and your residence hall mailbox for official student conduct-related messages. • Pick up and sign for conduct-related mail at your front desk. •

Refrain from disrupting conduct proceedings or harassing or intimidating participants or others. If the Hearing/Appeal Officer feels you are doing any of these things, you will be requested to cease the offending behavior immediately. If you continue this or any other inappropriate behavior, the Hearing/Appeal Officer may close, postpone or terminate the hearing, and/or have you (and any other participant behaving inappropriately) removed. You will lose the right to participate further.

• Appear at your own conduct proceeding. If you fail to appear, or if you leave or are removed from the hearing, you waive the right to present evidence, or in any other way participate further, in the hearing. The hearing will continue and a decision will be made in your absence, based on available evidence. •

Be honest during conduct proceedings, as dishonesty during conduct proceedings violates Community Standards. If you fail to be honest during your conduct proceeding, you will be subject to further action. This may include, but not be limited to: modifying the charge against you during the proceedings and taking your dishonesty into account when making decisions and issuing sanctions.

• New information that affects the case is discovered/becomes available


Page 20

• Know the Community Standards, Housing License Agreement obligations, policies, procedures, wing/community rules and/or the law. Ignorance is not a valid defense in conduct proceedings. It is your right to: • Be notified in advance of the specific violation(s) with which you are charged. • Be notified in advance of the date, time and location of the hearing. • Timely clarification of Community Standards, contractual obligations, policies, wing/community rules, laws and Residence Life conduct procedures when you request it. • Reschedule a hearing once prior to the hearing, if the scheduled hearing interferes with class or a commitment beyond your control (you may be asked for verification). Conduct hearings may be postponed or continued at a later date for any reason deemed appropriate by the Hearing/Appeal Officer. • Be treated with dignity and respect at all times. • A fair and impartial hearing. • Confidential treatment of proceedings and outcomes by Residence Life Staff and its agents. • Notification and explanation of decisions and sanctions, as well as consequences for not completing sanctions. • Appeal a conduct decision for which a sanction, beyond a warning, is imposed. • Bring an advisor (friend, parent, student, other) to a hearing. However, advisors may not participate in the hearing in any way other than to privately advise you and provide personal support. • Present testimony and witnesses relevant to the incident. You may also question and refute other testimony and witnesses. • Witnesses are excluded from the hearing untill called and must leave when excused. Witnesses will be interviewed separately. • Witness testimony (written or verbal) will not be considered unless the witness is willing to be identified to all relevant parties including the staff members and the accused student(s). • Verbal testimony of witness is preferred, but written statements may be presented when witnesses are unavailable to participate in a hearing. Written statements may be accorded less credibility than verbal testimony because the author is unavailable for questioning or clarification. • Character witnesses will not be permitted. • Irrelevant or redundant testimony or evidence may be excluded by the Hearing/Appeal Officer. • Not incriminate yourself. • Request an open hearing before the hearing commences, if the Hearing/Appeal Officer agrees to the request. Otherwise, conduct proceedings are closed to non-involved persons. The claimant has the same right. • Give or withhold permission for the conduct proceedings to be recorded. It is your responsibility to provide or withhold this permission in advance, and without disrupting the conduct proceedings. Every other participant in the hearing has the same right. • Request reasonable disability accommodation in any Residence Life proceeding. It is important to note, however, that a dis- ability in itself is not a valid defense in conduct proceedings. You will be held accountable for your actions regardless of your abilities. •

Know that results of Residence Life conduct proceedings are kept confidential and only shared with University officials and others with a legitimate need to know. Conduct issues are reviewed with your parents and/or others only when you give written permission to do so, unless your violation pertains to alcohol or drugs, as permitted by federal law. In such cases, Residence Life will provide results of conduct proceedings in response to a properly executed subpoena.


The Residence Life Conduct System is educational in nature. Its primary purpose is to help you learn from choices you make and to become a positive contributor to the residence hall community. Consequences, or sanctions, are assigned when you are found responsible for violating a Community Standard, contractual obligation, policy or law. Sanctions are intended to help you learn and each subsequent violation/sanction builds upon the last. If found responsible, your sanctions may include any or a combination of the following:

REPRIMAND/WARNING Reprimands or warnings can be verbal or written. They serve as a notice that if you are found responsible for one or more future policy violations, a higher level of sanctions will result.

PROBATION This is a formal notice that your involvement in an incident is unacceptable. You are on probation for the time listed on the front page of your Incident Review Report. Residence Life reserves the right to extend the period of probation. If you are found responsible for one or more future policy violations, the details of this incident will be considered in any future sanctioning for the duration of your time living on campus.

DEFERRED EVICTION Being placed on deferred eviction status means if you are found responsible for violating any further community standard you will be evicted from the residence halls. This constitutes your last chance to remain eligible to live in the residence halls.

EMERGENCY INTERIM SUSPENSION FROM RESIDENCE LIFE Emergency interim suspension from a residence hall may be imposed if there is reasonable cause to believe that your continued presence may pose an immediate threat to the educational environment, the physical or emotional health, safety or well being to yourself, other residents or staff, and/or to University property.

EVICTION The University may terminate your Housing License Agreement if you do not abide by the Community Standards or University rules. If you are evicted, you will be required to move out of the residence hall within 48 hours after the conduct process is completed. Should you be involved in any other policy violation(s) or be disruptive in any way prior to your leaving the building, you will be required to leave immediately. Note: If you are evicted, you remain financially responsible for rent for the remainder of the semester. Once evicted, you are no longer eligible to live in or visit any residence hall in the future. Incidents that can result in automatic eviction from a residence hall include, but are not limited to: • Tampering with fire safety equipment or devices. This includes, but is not limited to: creating false fire alarms or discharging fire extinguishers • Bomb threats • Possession of large amounts of alcohol beyond single-serving size whether you are underage or over 21 years old • Repeated use or possession of alcohol, to include as few as two times • Possessing, using, selling or distributing any legal prescription (outside of prescribed instructions), including marijuana, or non- prescription drug or illegal drug, synthetic drug, controlled substance. If it is in your room, your pocket or anywhere else under your control, it is considered to be yours. • Possession of a weapon. This includes simulated weapons, disabled weapons, dangerous chemicals, any explosive device, nun- chucks, swords, brass knuckles, knives (including butterfly knives), guns, paint ball guns, pellet guns and any other material that can be used to threaten or endanger others

Additional Sanctions Additional sanctions may be assigned. They may include, but are not limited to:

COMMUNITY SERVICE You may be required to complete a designated number of service hours with a non-profit organization in the community. A list of approved non-profit organizations in Tucson and specific community service requirements will be provided to you.

EDUCATIONAL SANCTIONS Educational sanctions include, but are not limited to: • Making a formal and/or public apology • Writing a paper, presenting a program or performing a service that demonstrates an understanding of relevant issues and effects of the behavior • Participation in a specified workshop or seminar or an educational/awareness enhancing discussion with a specified referral person • Restriction or modification of privileges • Community service either on campus or with a local agency • Creating a bulletin board or poster

MONETARY SANCTIONS A $75 monetary sanction will be assessed if you are found responsible for violating a Community Standard or University policy. The monetary sanction will be assessed per incident when each incident occurs.

PARENTAL NOTIFICATION If you are under 21, the University may disclose to your parent or legal guardian information about a violation of any federal, state or local law, or any rule or policy of the institution governing the use or possession of alcohol or a controlled substance. Your parent or legal guardian will be notified if it has been determined that you have committed a disciplinary violation with respect to such use or possession.


If you intentionally or unintentionally damage University property, you will be charged a repair or replacement cost.

RESTITUTION If you intentionally or unintentionally damage or steal personal property, you may be required to make due compensation to the owner.

ROOM/HALL TRANSFER You may be transferred to another room or residence hall as a sanction when found in violation of a Community Standard, policy or for other behavioral factors.

STUDENT HEALTH ALCOHOL AND DRUG EDUCATION (SHADE) PROGRAMS • SHADE Classes Health Promotions within the Campus Health Center provides a six-hour educational risk-reduction class for students who are in violation of alcohol and other drug policies at the University of Arizona. There are two separate classes; one for alcohol and one for marijuana. • SHADE Basics You will have two one-on-one sessions with a counselor and the sessions are 45-50 minutes long. The counselor will use the BASICS (Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students) model for the sessions. Note: There is a fee for both programs. You must register in advance by calling (520) 621-5700 or online at http://www.health.arizona.edu.

VISITATION RESTRICTION Visitation restriction means that you are forbidden to be present in a specific residence hall or halls. In cases of eviction, you may not be present in any University-operated residence hall indefinitely. You need prior written permission from the Director of Residence Life or designee to enter these locations. In cases of hall transfers, you are barred from being in your current hall indefinitely, unless you receive prior written permission from the Assistant Vice President, Residence Life & University Housing, or designee. You may be cited for trespassing by UAPD.
