Education Results, Disciplinary Actions, and Penalties for Students
The Oberlin Student Conduct System is an educational-focused approach to addressing student misconduct. For information about possible fees and services associated with the system, contact Associate Dean of Students Thom Julian.
When a student is found responsible for an infraction, they may receive a status sanction. These sanctions are assigned based on the seriousness of the infraction and a student's prior conduct history.
Status sanctions can range from Probation to Suspension or even Dismissal. A student on Probation can apply for a status reduction via the Probation Adjustment Application. Although specific details about the process at Oberlin College are not publicly available, typical university conduct systems involve a formal request made to the college conduct board or the Office of Student Conduct.
Additional sanctions can be restorative in nature, such as Letters of Apology, Community Workshops or Service, Restitution, or Counseling Sessions. These sanctions aim to help students learn from their mistakes and make amends for any harm caused.
Educational sanctions, such as Alcohol or Other Drug Online Workshops, Research Papers, and Reflective Papers, are also part of the system. These sanctions aim to educate students about responsible behaviour and personal growth.
Administrative costs can lead to fees for certain educational sanctions. For more details about the Probation Adjustment Application and conduct records policies, you can contact Thom Julian, Senior Associate Dean of Students.
If you need the exact Oberlin-specific requirements for the Probation Adjustment Application or any other aspect of the Student Conduct System, it is recommended to contact the Oberlin College Office of Student Conduct directly or review Oberlin’s official student conduct policy documents.
Other sanctions in the Oberlin Student Conduct System include Deferred Suspension and Deferred Probation. For more information, please visit the Oberlin College Student Conduct Office website or contact them directly.
In the Oberlin Student Conduct System, educational sanctions like Alcohol or Other Drug Online Workshops, Research Papers, and Reflective Papers are designed to educate students about responsible behavior and self-development. If a student is on Probation, they can apply for a status reduction via the Probation Adjustment Application, which may require additional information or details specific to Oberlin College.
