Conduct Forgiveness
Students who have committed their very first offense may be able to take advantage of our conduct forgiveness policy. "Conduct forgiveness" gives students a one-time opportunity to remove an offense from their record. Not all offenses can be expunged; please see the notes below for specific information on which offenses can be cleared and what is required. You can find information on sanctions for violations here: www2.sewanee.edu/studentlife/alcoholpolicy.pdf.
Requirements for conduct forgiveness are above and beyond the standard sanctions for the violation--they do not replace the standard sanctions. (There is one partial exception, noted below.) The University offers two options for conduct forgiveness based on the severity of the violation.
Conduct forgiveness requirements: additional 10 hours of community service within 4 weeks of offense; complete "AlcoholEdu for Sanctions" within 4 weeks of offense (sanctions.alcoholedu.com/). NOTE: a student who completes conduct forgiveness will have his or her privilege of going through Greek recruitment restored.
___________________________
Option 2: For Violations of Disorderly conduct (e.g. public intoxication, or uncooperative or argumentative with university staff); Possession and/or use of marijuana or drug paraphernalia.
Conduct forgiveness requirements: additional 40 hours of community service within 8 weeks of offense; complete BASICS education/intervention program through the University Counseling Services (x1325).
You can report your service here. If you have any further questions, please contact Dean Bruce (ambruce@sewanee.edu) or Dean Bankson (mbbankso@sewanee.edu).
