• Participates in an initial meeting with the Senior Student Affairs Officer; and • Completes all recommendations from the Senior Student Affairs Officer; and • Submits proof of completion of all recommendations, within the time frame designated by the Senior Student Affairs Officer at the initial meeting. 1.4.2. A bystander student who has engaged in alcohol consumption and who seeks emergency medical attention for someone else or tries to actively engage in assistance for someone else for that person’s alcohol-related consumption, will not be sanctioned for violating alcohol consumption prohibitions found in the Student Code related to his/her own consumption but will be invited to meet with the Senior Student Affairs Officer. 1.4.3. The institution will not pursue any disciplinary action related to any alcohol or drug consumption against any student who has been sexually assaulted or sexually harassed, for his/her use of alcohol or drugs at the time of the sexual assault or sexual harassment. 1.4.4. Subsections C.1.4.1 and C.1.4.2 of this section will only apply to a student who seeks emergency medical attention before police or institutional employees or agents take any official action or intervention related to the alcohol consumption. 1.4.5. Alcohol amnesty does not preclude disciplinary action regarding other violations of the Student Code. 1.4.6. Alcohol amnesty only applies to the institution’s student conduct process. It does not apply to any criminal, civil or other legal consequence for violations under federal, state or local law. 1.4.7. Alcohol amnesty is not designed to protect or shield those students who repeatedly violate the Student Code. The Senior Student Affairs Officer may assess each situation on a case-by-case basis, denying the safeguards of alcohol amnesty if serious or repeated incidents prompt a higher degree of concern or response, which may include disciplinary action under this Student Code. 1.5. Relationship Between the Student Conduct Process and the Criminal Law Process 1.5.1. The student conduct process is independent of any criminal or civil process. Therefore, a student alleged to have engaged in conduct that would be a violation of this Student Code (whether such conduct could also be a violation of criminal or civil law) may face student disciplinary action regardless of any criminal or civil process or their outcomes. 1.5.2. When the alleged misconduct includes allegations of Human Rights Violations, the disciplinary process will not be delayed except when law enforcement requests a delay to conduct the fact-finding portion of its investigation. 1.5.3. Determinations made or conduct sanctions imposed under this Student Code shall not be subject to change because criminal charges arising out of the same facts giving rise to violation of this Student Code were dismissed, reduced, or resolved in favor of, or against, the criminal law defendant. 1.5.4. When a student is charged by federal, state, or local authorities with a violation of law, the Institution will not request or agree to special consideration for that student because of his or her status as a student. 1.5.5. If the alleged violation of law also gives rise to student disciplinary action under this Student Code, the institution may advise off-campus authorities of the existence of the Student Code and of how such matters are typically handled under the Student Code. 69 NSU STUDENT HANDBOOK 2024-25
