Failure by the student to notify the office of student life of any off-campus felony arrest, or when the arrest is for an offense that is violent, weapons-related, involves kidnapping, or requires that the student register as a sex offender by any legal authority within the U.S., within five calendar days of release from custody is a violation of the code. The university may send a letter to the student requiring that they make an appointment for an interview. During this interview, the dean of students or their designee shall discuss with the student:
(1) The facts involved in the student's arrest;
(2) The student's obligation to keep the university informed of the progress of any criminal charge(s);
(3) The student's obligation to advise the university of the final disposition of any criminal charge(s); and
(4) Whether the behavior falls under jurisdiction of the student code.
The university will cooperate with law enforcement and other agencies administering a corrective or rehabilitative program for the student. See also POL-U5620.02 Notifying Campus Community About Sex and Kidnapping Offenders.
