Sanctions
Sanctions can be enforced by the University Provost/Chief Academic Officer (or his/her designee), and the Student Conduct Committee, via oversight of the Provost Office. Sanctions can take several forms, including the following:
- Official Reprimand - an oral statement and warning by an appropriate CTU official to cease the inappropriate behavior or act. This oral statement will articulate the consequences if the infraction is repeated. A copy of the reprimand will reside in the student's file.
- Official Written Notice - a written censure citing that the student has violated a specific tenet of the Code of Conduct, the nature of the violation, and the determination that a repeat occurrence during the remaining time of the student's degree studies may/will lead to immediate suspension or dismissal. A copy of the official written notice will reside in the student's file.
- Suspension - the student is not allowed to participate in any aspect of the institution and is banned from the institution for the length of time of the suspension. During this time, the student is barred from the University’s campuses and/or online community. A copy of the official letter of suspension will reside in the student's file.
- Dismissal - the student or prospective student is permanently removed from all connections and associations with the institution with the inability to return to the University in a future enrollment. A copy of the official letter of dismissal will reside in the student's file. The University President and/or Provost/Chief Academic Officer (or his/her designee) have the authority to dismiss a student from the institution based on investigation, findings, and recommendations from officials or the Student Conduct Committee.
