• Destruction of property;
• Possession or use of weapons, toy weapons, or other dangerous items;
• Any behavior reasonably perceived as threatening, unsafe, or retaliatory.
Student Accountability Process
While the Zero Tolerance Policy communicates the seriousness of these violations, the university also requires that Housing uphold a student conduct process
based on fairness, equity, and due process. The following steps will guide the resolution of reported violations:
1. Incident Review and Investigation
Reports will be reviewed by University Housing in partnership with the Office of Student Conduct, with investigations initiated within 48 to 72 hours.
2. Resident Notification and Conduct Meeting
Residents will be notified in writing, via their Sac State email, of the alleged violation(s) and provided an opportunity to respond through a conduct
meeting.
3. Sanctioning and Resolution
Outcomes are determined based on the facts of the case, evidence presented, and guided by a Graduated Discipline Rubric and may include:
• Immediate or permanent removal from housing (note: financial obligations under the Housing License Agreement or Hornet Commons Lease may
remain in effect).
• Conduct probation
• Office of Student Conduct referral, which may lead to suspension or expulsion from the university.
4. Appeals
Residents may appeal conduct decisions adjudicated and managed by University Housing. Please find the appeal request process as outlined on our
website.
5. Restorative Opportunities (When appropriate)
Where safety permits, University Housing may offer conflict mediation, reflection assignments, or restorative justice options as part of the sanction
process.
