DISCIPLINARY SANCTIONS FOR VIOLATIONS TO THE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT Students found responsible under the Student Code of Conduct for the possession and/or consumption of alcohol or drugs will face disciplinary sanctions including, but not limited to, conduct warning, conduct probation, educational programs, community service, housing probation, or suspension. Students whose use of alcohol or drugs that results in harm or the threat of harm to themselves or others, or to property, whether on or off campus, may face disciplinary action by Northern up to and including suspension or expulsion. As members of the campus community, students are also subject to city ordinances and to state and federal law. Arrest and prosecution for alleged violations of criminal law or city ordinances may result from an incident that may also violate the University’s Code of Conduct, and thus, there may be times when a student must address alleged violations through both the criminal and University processes. Student violations of alcohol/other drug policies and regulations shall be responded to in accordance with the seriousness and frequency of the violation. A student’s alcohol and other drug violations accumulate during his/her entire career at Northern and other public higher education institutions governed by the South Dakota Board of Regents.
