Sanctions

Failure to complete the conditions outlined in any sanction shall result in a HOLD being placed on the student’s records and registration. A HOLD on student records and registration will, for example, prevent the student from registering and from obtaining transcripts, verifications, or a diploma from the University until the student satisfies the conditions of the sanction.

Warning: Written reprimand for violation of specified On Campus Housing Regulations, including notice to the student that continued or repeated violations may be cause for further disciplinary action.

Restitution: Reimbursement (which may take the form of monetary payment or appropriate service to repair or otherwise compensate) for damage to or misappropriation of University property, or the property of others, while that property is on University Housing premises or at the place of an official On Campus Housing function.

Community Service & Required Program Participation: The performance of a specific number of hours of unpaid mandatory service to the On Campus Housing or wider UCLA community and/or a specific behavior agreement to prevent further problems in the community and/or required attendance at specific programs or workshops. Failure to abide by sanctions noted in this paragraph may be cause for further disciplinary action.

Loss of Privileges: Restriction from participation in designated On Campus Housing activities and/or from having visitors for a specified period of time. Violation of any conditions in the written notice of loss of privileges or violation of On Campus Housing Regulations during the period of the sanction may be cause for further disciplinary action.

Relocation: Requirement to relocate to another room or suite or move to another University owned or leased housing facility.

Residential Probation: Probation is a status imposed for a specified period of time in which a student must demonstrate conduct that conforms to On Campus Housing and University standards of conduct. Misconduct during the probationary period or violation of any conditions of the probation may result in further and more serious disciplinary action.

Area Restriction: Restriction of the student from entering a specified area of On Campus Housing facilities. This sanction may be imposed when there is reasonable cause to believe that the student’s presence will lead to physical abuse, threats of violence, or conduct that threatens the health or safety of any person in University Housing or at official On Campus Housing functions, or disruptive activity incompatible with the orderly operation of On Campus Housing.

Exclusion from Residence: Exclusion of the student from residence in University Housing for a specified period of time. This sanction may be imposed when a student has repeatedly violated policies or regulations, or when there is reasonable cause to believe that the student’s continued residence in University Housing will lead to physical abuse, threats of violence, or conduct that threatens the health or safety of any person in University Housing or at official On Campus Housing functions, or other disruptive activity incompatible with the orderly operations of University Housing.

While each incident is considered individually, following are examples of behaviors that may result in Exclusion from On Campus Housing. This list is not all inclusive but refers to some examples of serious violations:

NOTE: If the RD believes that the Exclusion from Residence or the Area Restriction sanction is warranted, he or she shall forward that recommendation to the Assistant Director or Associate Director, Residential Education, together with a brief written statement of findings in support of the recommended action. The Assistant Director or Associate Director, Residential Education, as the case may be, shall review information submitted by the RD and determine whether the recommended sanction is warranted. The Assistant Director or Associate Director, Residential Education may then impose the recommended sanction or impose another sanction. The Assistant Director or Associate Director, Residential Education shall inform the student, in writing, of the sanction imposed.
