Jurisdiction

(a) Jurisdiction under the Student Code applies to the conduct of any student or student organization that occurs on University premises, at University-related activities, and off-campus conduct that adversely affects the University community and/or the pursuit of its objectives.

(b) Each student shall be responsible for his/her conduct from the time of application for admission through the actual awarding of a degree, even though the conduct may occur before classes begin or after classes end.  Each student is responsible for his/her conduct during the academic year and during periods between terms of actual enrollment.  The Student Code shall apply to a student’s conduct even if the student withdraws from the school while a disciplinary matter is pending and even if the conduct is not discovered until after a degree is awarded.

(c) With regard to off campus conduct, the University reserves the right to impose discipline based on off-campus conduct if, for example:

• The off-campus conduct is specifically provided by law or the Student Code as subject to University discipline;


• The off-campus conduct demonstrates that the continued presence of the student on campus presents a danger to the health, safety, or welfare of the University community, is disruptive to the orderly conduct, processes and functions of the University, or is intimidating or threatening to the University community or member of the University community; or


• The off-campus conduct is of such serious nature that it adversely affects the student’s suitability to remain a part of the University community.
