28. What is a citation? |
|
Residents may receive citations from either the Resident Advisers or the Community Service Officers (CSOs) for violations of the Housing Handbook rules and regulations. Examples of these citations include violations of the visitation hours or possession of items prohibited in the residence halls. You could equate this citation to a speeding ticket. There is an appeals process that students can go through if they believe they were unfairly cited.
The office of Judicial Services handles all of the judicial process; this discipline process is handled by Judicial Services Advocates and is only for those students who violate the Student Code regulations while within Housing. The Judicial Services Advocates serve a prosecutorial role during the disciplinary proceedings. The Judicial Services Advocate protects the University's interests as they ensure the students are aware of their mistakes and pay restitution. One example of a violation which would cause a student to enter the disciplinary proceedings would be if they actively participated in vandalism of University Property.
