St. Cloud State University

Interim Suspension

1. At any time following the submission of a written referral, the University President or Vice President or Associate Vice President for Student Life and Development (with permission from the President or Vice President) may alter or suspend the rights of a student to be present on campus or to attend classes for an interim period prior to resolution of the disciplinary proceeding. The University President or Vice President for Student Life and Development will base their decision on whether the allegation of misconduct is apparently reliable and whether the continued presence of the student on the university campus reasonably poses a threat to the physical or emotional condition and well-being of any individual, including the student, or for reasons relating to the safety and welfare of any university property, or any university function.
2. The decision to alter or suspend the rights of a student for an interim period will be communicated in writing to the student, and will become effective immediately. Notification will either be hand-delivered or sent by certified mail to the last address provided to the Records and Registration office. Failure or refusal to take receipt of notification will not negate or postpone said action.
3. The interim suspension or altered privileges will remain in effect until a final decision has been made on the pending complaint or until the University President or Vice President or Associate Vice President for Student Life and Development determines that the reason for imposing the interim suspension or alterations of privileges no longer exists.
4. A student who is suspended or has had his/her privileges altered for an interim period will be provided an opportunity to respond to the allegations of misconduct to the president or vice president for student life and development no later than two (2) days following the effective date of the interim suspension.
