  1. The Associate Dean of Community Standards & Student Support or designee (Dean) may impose an Interim Restriction(s) prior to the underlying concern being resolved by a formal University procedure, except in cases in which the concern includes violations of the Sexual Misconduct Policy or Formal Grievance Protocol. Interim Restrictions stemming from the Sexual Misconduct Policy or Formal Grievance Protocol may be imposed by the Title IX Office and are referred to as “emergency removals” under those policies.
  2. An Interim Restriction(s) may be imposed in circumstances when potential harm includes, but is not limited to:
    1. A threat of harm to any members of the University community, including visitors, or others;
    2. Preservation of University premises or the property of any members of the University community, including visitors; and
    3. Disruption of, or interference with, the normal operations or activities of the University.
  3. A student placed on an Interim Restriction will be notified in writing or verbally by a University official. When notice is provided verbally, the University will provide an additional written notice for documentation purposes.
  4. When an Interim Restriction(s) is imposed, the Dean will attempt to expedite any appropriate formal procedures for resolution of the concern, which may include, but are not limited to, Student Accountability Procedures, Honor Council Procedures, Student Discrimination Procedures, Student Organization Procedures, Welfare Panel, or Appellate Review Board Procedures. In attempting to expedite the resolution of the concern, the Dean must also give deference to the appropriate authority and its need to fairly hear, consider, and weigh all information.
  5. An Interim Restriction does not supplant the appropriate resolution process, which shall proceed in accordance with applicable procedures.
  6. The University has discretion to impose, lift, reassess, and modify an Interim Restriction as circumstances warrant at any point, including without limitation as new information becomes available.
  7. As an Interim Restriction arises out of the potential for harm, no refunds or other considerations will be provided due to lost class time, dining access, housing assignment access, or similar concern.
