Disciplinary Procedures for Students Who Leave Belmont
With Open Sanctions: If a student has been given notice, received a judicial response, and sanctioned but leaves Belmont without completing the sanctions, then the student’s disciplinary record will indicate that he or she has an open sanction, and a hold will placed on the student’s account. This incident will be reported to other institutions and groups requesting verification of student standing. If the student chooses to return to Belmont, the issue may be addressed at that time.
When Notice Provided: If a student has be given notice but leaves Belmont before the disciplinary process has been completed, he or she is still accountable for his or her actions and an appropriate sanction may be applied. The student’s disciplinary record will indicate that he or she has an unresolved conduct issue, and a hold will placed on the student’s account. Depending on the severity of the issue, this conduct may be reported to other institutions and groups requesting verification of student standing. If the student chooses to return to Belmont, the issue may be addressed at that time or may contact the Coordinator of Judicial Services to complete the disciplinary process while not attending Belmont University.
When Notice Not Provided: If a student leaves Belmont before he or she is given notice regarding his or her alleged incident, all documentation of the incident will be placed in the student’s disciplinary file, and a hold will be placed on the student’s account. If the student chooses to return to Belmont, the issue may be addressed at that time.
