A. System-wide Effect of Disciplinary Suspensions and Expulsions
- Sanctions Apply Across All USNH Institutions
- Disciplinary Suspension. A student who is suspended from any USNH institution for violating the institution's student code of conduct shall be ineligible to register for or attend classes at any other USNH institution for the duration of the suspension.
- Disciplinary Expulsion. A student who is expelled from any USNH institution for violating the institution's student code of conduct shall be ineligible to register for or attend classes at any other USNH institution for a period of two (2) years following the effective date of the expulsion.
- Pending Conduct Matters. A student who separates from, withdraws from, takes leave from, or otherwise ceases enrollment at a USNH institution while a conduct matter is pending may be subject to a system-wide conduct hold if the pending allegations could reasonably result in suspension or expulsion. The system-wide hold shall remain in effect until the pending matter is resolved or the institution that placed the hold determines that the hold is no longer necessary.
- Institutional Responsibility. Each USNH institution is responsible for administering its own student conduct process and determining whether a pending matter warrants a local or system-wide hold. Students shall receive notice of any conduct hold consistent with applicable institutional procedures.
