Policy on Student Disciplinary Hearing and Appeals System
The formal responsibility for student discipline has been delegated to the Executive Director of Student Affairs. This includes:
- Administering the regulations of the University.
- Counseling students involved in disciplinary matters.
- Coordinating the judicial procedures.
- Processing communication and maintaining a central file of disciplinary actions.
National Louis University focuses attention on the development of a student’s potential by encouraging self-discipline, fostering a respect for the rights of others, and encouraging cooperation with the regulations of the University. Therefore, the disciplinary process provides opportunity for students to:
- Reassess those aspects of their personal behavior that necessitated disciplinary action.
- Increase their awareness of the expectations that the campus community holds.
- Accept responsibility for modifying their behavior to better meet these responsibilities.
- Continue their education and development through their discipline experience.
Such a program requires a positive regard for the welfare of the individual student and a rational commitment to resolving disciplinary situations in a constructive and educational manner. However, when a student deliberately disregards the regulations of the campus community, sanctions will be imposed as an expression of the community’s interest in achieving a positive living and learning environment.
