*NOTE: It is very important that students read their decision letter. The instructions and expectations for any required sanctions should be clearly outlined by the Hearing Officer or Board. It is the responsibility of students to know their deadlines and complete their sanctions on time (or request an extension). If you have any questions, your best bet is to contact the Hearing Officer or Board Moderator directly.
Below is some helpful information regarding sanction compliance:
Community Service
Please reference your letter for specific community service requirements. Generally, the service must be done either at an approved site off-campus or through an approved office on-campus. Contact your Hearing Officer or Board Moderator for approval prior to participating in service. Failing to receive prior approval may lead to the hours not being counted as complete. Approved off-campus sites are non-profit organizations such as places of worship, community centers, soup kitchens, shelters, etc.
For opportunities both on-campus and off-campus, the following individuals are great resources:
Beth Ford, Campus Ministry, 610-660-3124
Pat Goodrich, Facilities, 610-660-3006
Corey Shannon, Athletics, 610-660-3052
Have the Community Service Log signed by a contact person/site supervisor with his/her contact information. The signed Community Service Log needs to be submitted to by the due date noted to the Hearing Officer, Board Moderator, or Office of Community Standards.

Research/Reflection Papers
If you have been assigned a research/reflection paper, consult your decision letter for the specific guidelines and topics. Unless otherwise stated, please email your paper to the sanctioning Hearing Officer or Board Moderator by the due date. After the paper is reviewed, you will be notified if accepted as complete. Unacceptable papers will be returned to students for revision. Papers should be of the quality and format normally associated with academic work.
Disciplinary Holds
At any time after the filing of a complaint, the Community Standards Office may place a “Disciplinary Hold” on the academic records of any student for the purpose of preserving the status quo pending the outcome of proceedings or enforcing a disciplinary sanction. A “Disciplinary Hold” may prevent among other things, registration, the release of transcripts, and the awarding of a degree.
If you have questions regarding a "Disciplinary Hold" on your account, please contact the Office of Community Standards at (610) 660-1046.
