香港六合彩开奖

As an academic community rooted in the Jesuit and Mercy traditions, 香港六合彩开奖 is committed to providing a safe, healthy learning community for all its members. Accordingly, the university expects all members of the community (students, faculty, and staff) to make responsible and legal decisions concerning the use of alcohol and other drugs.

Detroit Mercy believes that character development is a central part of the educational experience of college. As such, we value opportunities that challenge us all in areas of community responsibility, expression of values and connecting decisions with consequences. To foster an environment where such learning can take place, alcohol and other drug use that is against the law, contrary to the Detroit Mercy’s mission will be fairly and consistently challenged. Substance use that places anyone’s physical, mental, or emotional well-being in danger will not be tolerated.

In compliance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (DFSCA), the university has drafted this Detroit Mercy Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy (Detroit Mercy AOD Policy), which includes references to other University policies concerning alcohol and other drug use and summarizes certain legal penalties under Federal law for the illegal possession or distribution of drugs and alcohol. The following information is critical and should be read carefully by all members of the University community.

Alcohol and Drug Counseling, Treatment and Rehabilitation Programs

Students needing help in dealing with drug or alcohol abuse problems are encouraged to consult with the Dean of Students and for referral to the appropriate office and/or agency.

The following guidelines must be followed for all marketing practices involving alcohol and other drugs messaging at Detroit Mercy.

• The marketing of illegal substances is not permitted
• Advertisements that encourage excessive or unhealthy consumption of alcohol or other drugs will not be permitted
• Departments and organizations may not accept or create advertising that:
• Encourages alcohol or other drug over-use (abuse) or emphasizes quantity and frequency of use

Students

All students enrolled at Detroit Mercy are expected to follow local, state, and federal laws concerning alcohol and other drugs. All students are also subject to additional, University-specific regulations on alcohol and other drugs, as stated in the Student Code of Conduct.

Student Organizations

All registered student organizations and interest groups are subject to regulations concerning alcohol when hosting events on or off-campus. It is a privilege to be a student organization that is recognized by 香港六合彩开奖. Student organizations are expected to exercise good judgment in planning and promoting their activities, including any event an observer would associate with the student organization. Student organizations are also responsible for assuring compliance with procedures and policies as outlined in the Student Handbook and Detroit Mercy Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy.

Facilities and Events

All events on university property must comply with the Detroit Mercy AOD Policy, all other applicable university policies, and all applicable laws. Additional regulations may apply to events held on certain campuses or university facilities. Please contact University Services for additional information and/or restrictions.

Prevention, Treatment, and Support Services

In keeping with its mission, the university offers resources for students (through the Wellness Center and faculty/staff (through ) that may seek or require assistance with alcohol or other drug (AOD) problems. Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to attend seminars and information sessions on the health risks of alcohol and other drug abuse available to the university community. These programs are designed to educate students, staff, and faculty on substance use, its health risks, and identifying signs of overuse and abuse.

Self-help support groups for dealing with alcohol or other drug dependence bring together people with common experiences and similar needs. In general, self-help groups are: facilitated by a lay person, free, informal, voluntary, and anonymous. Please see the resources below to identify meeting times and dates of local area meetings, other self-help sites, and for more information on substance abuse.

For Students

Students have choices about drinking: whether or not to drink; how much to drink; and where, when, and with whom to drink. While most students at Detroit Mercy use alcohol in moderation or not at all, a significant minority of student’s drink in ways that put them, and others, at greater risk for alcohol-related harms – negative consequences that can quickly throw what matters out of balance.

The governs the release of and access to student education records. Section 952 of the 1998 Amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965 clarified that institutions of higher education are allowed (but not required) to notify parents if a student under the age of 21 at the time of notification commits a disciplinary violation involving alcohol or a controlled substance.
Because of the health and safety risk inherent in alcohol and other drug misuse, Detroit Mercy will notify parents/family of first-year students under the age of 21:

• If a student has committed an AOD violation accompanied by other serious behavior such as needing medical attention, significant property damage or driving under the influence
• If a student has had an AOD incident that resulted in a transport to the hospital or jail
• If a student has had more than one AOD-related violation of the 香港六合彩开奖 Alcohol and Other Drug Policy

To provide prevention education to students, the University requires all first-year students complete an online alcohol module called Get Inclusive prior to their arrival on campus. The Student Life Office provides a host of alcohol-free programs available on a regular basis during the academic year.

Personal Counselors at the Wellness Center are available to provide referrals that connect students with treatment services, resources, people, literature, and/or activities that can address their needs concerning alcohol and other drugs. Considerations such as insurance, ability to pay, and the location of services are taken into account when referrals are made. Students who are looking for help but unsure of what is available or most appropriate for them should make an appointment with a personal counselor at the Wellness Center by calling (313) 993-1459.

For additional resources:

For Staff/Faculty

Detroit Mercy is committed to maintaining a safe, healthy and efficient environment in which its employees are free from impairment from substance abuse. The University will make a good faith effort to maintain a drug-free workplace.

Early recognition and treatment of drug or alcohol abuse are important for successful rehabilitation, to minimize lost work time, and for reduced personal, family and social disruption. The University encourages the earliest possible diagnosis of and treatment for drug or alcohol abuse. Detroit Mercy will assist employees in overcoming drug or alcohol abuse. The decision to seek diagnosis and accept treatment for drug or alcohol abuse is the individual employee’s responsibility.

The University encourages employees to seek assistance in dealing with a substance abuse problem or the problems of a family member by contacting their supervisor or the Office of Human Resources. No employee will be terminated solely as a result of seeking counseling and rehabilitation.

In accordance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act, Detroit Mercy prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of a controlled substance on University premises or other workplaces if individuals performing work on these premises are compensated by the 香港六合彩开奖.

All employees are expected to abide by these standards of conduct as a condition of employment.

The legal drinking age in Michigan is 21. Knowingly furnishing alcohol to a person under the age of 21 is also prohibited by state law. Employees who are of legal drinking age are expected to consume alcohol in a mature and responsible manner while attending University activities. The University prohibits the consumption of alcohol by any person when the consumption adversely affects job performance and/or endangers the physical well-being of any person.

Alcohol and Drug Testing
Detroit Mercy’s workplace should be free from drug and alcohol abuse. Employees cannot work safely and productively if they report for work or work while alcohol or drugs impair them.

Reasonable Suspicion
Detroit Mercy will require an employee reasonably suspected of being impaired by alcohol (.02% blood alcohol concentration or above), drugs (illegal or controlled) to be tested for alcohol, drugs, or both at its expense by qualified medical personnel.

Detroit Mercy will require an employee to be tested for alcohol, drugs or both if a supervisor or manager reasonably suspects the employee to be impaired by alcohol, drugs or both based on observations of the employee’s job performance or personal behavior or any other evidence of alcohol or drug use.

Health Risks

Alcohol consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident. Low to moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including domestic/dating violence and child abuse.

Moderate to high doses of alcohol cause marked impairments in higher mental functions, severely altering a person's ability to learn and remember information. Very high dose cause respiratory depression & death. If combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effects just described. Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence.

Sudden cessation of alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, and convulsions. Alcohol withdrawal can be life threatening. Long-term consumption of large quantities of alcohol, particularly when combined with poor nutrition, can also lead to permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and the liver. Mothers who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to infants with fetal alcohol syndrome. These infants have irreversible physical abnormalities and mental retardation. In addition, research indicates that children of alcoholic parents are at greater risk than other youngsters of becoming alcoholics.

Hallucinogens disrupt the brain chemicals that enable us to make sense out of our environment. Most of those used by college students are manufactured chemical compounds. The most common compound is LSD (d-lysergic acid diethylamide). It and other hallucinogens are potent and extremely unpredictable drugs that produce fast-acting and unexpected effects. The most common acute reactions are panic from severe anxiety and intense fear of losing control, and psychotic reactions involving severe breaks with reality, persistent hallucinations, and delusions. Psychotic reactions have been known to last weeks or months and often require hospitalization. The long-term or chronic effects of LSD use are not known at this time, but many ex-users report experiencing flashbacks, even several years after a bad trip.

Marijuana is a drug with high potential for abuse. Because it affects the way a person thinks, learns, and acts, its use is especially harmful, even dangerous, in many situations. Marijuana interferes with speech, memory, and learning, and makes tasks that require a clear mind difficult, meaningless, or unsafe. It also slows reactions and interferes with coordination. Marijuana’s dangers increase in combination with alcohol. Marijuana smoking also poses a serious threat to the user's lungs, heart, immune system, and reproductive systems.

Inhalants include easy-to-obtain products such as cleaning fluids, solvents, aerosols, and airplane glue. They act on the central nervous system much like such volatile anesthetics as ether and chloroform, and produce bizarre perceptual and hallucinatory actions. Short-term physical effects include sneezing, lack of coordination, loss of appetite, rapid heartbeat, and seizures. Psychological effects include euphoria, exhilaration, confusion, disorientation, loss of inhibitions, and impulsive behavior that may lead to injuries and accidents. Long-term health risks include nosebleeds, loss of consciousness, hepatitis, liver failure, kidney failure, respiratory depression, blood abnormalities, irregular heartbeat, and possible suffocation.

Depressants include barbiturates, sedatives, and anti-anxiety drugs. They are usually taken orally. They depress not only the activity of the brain, causing an effect on the heart and respiration, but also muscle tissues. Short-term physical effects include drowsiness, slurred speech, irritability, stupor, and impaired judgment, memory, and attention. Long-term effects include disrupted sleep, psychosis, respiratory depression, coma, and neuropsychological and structural brain damage. Withdrawal can produce extreme anxiety, insomnia, convulsions, and death.

Narcotics include opium, morphine, heroin, codeine and synthetic substances that can be taken orally, snorted, smoked, or injected into the skin or a vein. They relax the central nervous system and appear to be able to reduce anxiety levels, promote drowsiness, and allow sleep in spite of severe pain. Short-term physical effects include pinpoint pupils, lethargy, skin abscesses, chronic constipation, nausea, and respiratory depression. Psychological effects include anxiety, irritability, mood swings, depression, drug seeking, and antisocial behavior.

Cocaine is a white crystalline powder, often diluted with other ingredients. Crack cocaine is a light brown or beige pellet or crystalline rock that resembles coagulated soap. Cocaine is inhaled through the nasal passages or injected; crack is smoked. Cocaine speeds up physical and mental processes, creates a sense of heightened energy and confidence, and alters the pleasure centers in the brain. Physical short-term effects include headache, exhaustion, shaking, dilated pupils, blurred vision, and nausea, loss of appetite, palpitations, and arrhythmia's. Psychological effects include impaired judgment, hyperactivity, suspicion, acute anxiety, paranoid ideation, and violence. Repeated use or use of high dosages causes long-term effects. The effect on the central nervous system suppresses the desire for food, sex, and sleep. The cardiovascular system is affected resulting in high blood pressure, irregular heart rate, damage to heart tissue, constriction of blood vessels, and stroke. Cocaine also causes neurological and respiratory damage; there is danger of respiratory arrest. It damages the mucous membranes of the nasal passages and causes sinusitis and a loss of sense of smell. The male reproductive system is also negatively affected. In women, there are implications for the fetus in the event of pregnancy.

University Sanctions

香港六合彩开奖 is committed to the adoption and implementation of a program to prevent the unlawful possession, consumption, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees. The University will impose disciplinary sanctions on any student or employee who violates applicable local, state, federal laws, and applicable University policies.

Employees

For employees, violation of the Detroit Mercy Employee Policies and Procedures will be disciplined, up to and including termination. Employees may be referred to suitable counseling or treatment resources for evaluation and treatment. When warranted, corrective counseling may include requiring an employee to successfully complete a rehabilitation program. While undergoing counseling and treatment for drug or alcohol abuse, employees must continue to meet all standards of conduct and job performance. Persons who violate this policy may be referred to law enforcement authorities for arrest and prosecution.

Discipline

A “positive” reasonable suspicion alcohol test (.02% blood alcohol concentration or above) will result in discharge, even for a first “positive” alcohol test.

A “positive” reasonable suspicion drug test will result in discharge, even for a first “positive” drug test.

An employee who tests “positive” for a prescribed drug will not be subject to disciplinary action, if a physician prescribed the drug for the employee, and the employee used the drug as prescribed.

Refusal to take a required alcohol or drug test or to sign any required forms is insubordination and will result in immediate discharge.

An attempt to tamper with, contaminate, or switch a sample or a failure to provide a urine sample with the required amount of urine by the end of the time period established by the collection site will constitute an insubordinate refusal to take the test and will result in immediate discharge.

If Detroit Mercy reasonably suspects that the employee is working while impaired by alcohol or drugs, the employee will be suspended without pay until the results of an alcohol or drug test are available to Detroit Mercy.

Detroit Mercy will not discipline or discharge an employee for voluntarily seeking assistance for alcohol abuse, drug abuse, or both, if the employee seeks the assistance before Detroit Mercy requires an alcohol or drug test or before the employee has violated the substance abuse policy.

Students

For students, violation of the Detroit Mercy AOD policy will result in various sanctions, based on severity of the violation. Local, state, and federal sanctions may also be imposed.

APPENDIX C

Legal Penalties

Medical Amnesty as a result of alcohol intoxication:
To better ensure that minors at medical risk as a result of alcohol intoxication will receive prompt and appropriate medical attention, the State of Michigan provides for medical amnesty to remove perceived barriers to calling for or seeking help.

Michigan law continues to prohibit a minor from purchasing, consuming, or possessing, or attempting to purchase, consume, or possess, alcoholic liquor and from having any bodily alcohol content.

The medical amnesty law provides an exemption from prosecution for the following:

• A minor (under the age of 21) who, after consuming alcohol, voluntarily presents themselves to a health facility or agency for treatment or observation, including medical examination and treatment for any condition as a result of sexual assault (as defined in Michigan law).
• Any minor (under the age of 21) who accompanied an individual who, after consuming alcohol, voluntarily presented themselves to a health facility or agency for treatment or observation, including medical examination and treatment for any condition as a result of sexual assault (as defined in Michigan law).
• Any minor (under the age of 21) who initiated contact with law enforcement or emergency medical services personnel for the purpose of obtaining medical assistance in connection with a legitimate health care concern.

Medical Amnesty as a result of an overdose of any controlled substance, including a prescription drug:
To better ensure that individuals at medical risk as a result of an overdose of any controlled substance, including a prescription drug, will receive prompt and appropriate medical attention, the State of Michigan provides for medical amnesty to remove perceived barriers to calling for or seeking help.

The medical amnesty law provides an exemption from prosecution for the following*:

• Any individual who voluntarily seeks medical assistance for themselves as a result of an overdose of any controlled substance, including a prescription drug.
• Any individual who accompanies or procures medical assistance for another individual as a result of an overdose of any controlled substance, including a prescription drug.
• Any individual who as a result of an overdose of any controlled substance, including a prescription drug, is presented for medical assistance by a third party.

*When the amount of the drug possessed is sufficient only for personal use

The 香港六合彩开奖 maintains the discretion to refer the individual for appropriate educational intervention(s).

MIP LAW under Michigan law, it is illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to purchase, consume or possess, or have any bodily content of alcohol. A first-time offense is considered a civil infraction punishable by a fine and/or community service or substance abuse classes. A second offense is a criminal misdemeanor that is punishable by a $200 fine, up to 30 days in jail, substance abuse education and treatment, community service and court-ordered drug screenings. A third offense is a criminal misdemeanor that may result in a $500 fine, up to 60 days in jail and revocation of driving privileges.

Federal laws make the illegal possession and sale of drugs and alcohol serious crimes. Convictions for violations of these laws can lead to imprisonment, fines, community service and a permanent criminal record. In addition to these penalties, convictions can also result in, among other penalties, property used in connection with illegal drugs being confiscated and federal student loans, grants and contracts being denied. The following sections describe certain relevant legal penalties under federal laws with respect to illegal drug possession and sale.

Note: Marijuana: On November 6, 2018, Michigan voters passed Proposal 18-1, which legalizes possession and use of limited amounts of recreational marijuana by individuals 21 years and older. However, neither this state law, nor the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, authorize the use or possession of marijuana on any property owned or managed by Detroit Mercy, and by Detroit Mercy's faculty, staff, or students on any university property or during off-campus university business or events.

Marijuana possession and use remains illegal under federal law and is categorized as an illicit substance under the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989. In addition, pursuant to Detroit Mercy's Alcohol and Drug Policy, Detroit Mercy employees, students and visitors may not unlawfully manufacture, consume, possess, sell, distribute, transfer or be under the influence of alcohol, illicit drugs or controlled substances on University property or at any site where university work is performed.

Detroit Mercy receives federal funding for various uses, including research and student financial aid. As such, Detroit Mercy must comply with federal law, including all current federal drug laws.

Therefore, even though the State of Michigan has legalized limited amounts of marijuana for recreational use for some individuals, the possession, use, storage and cultivation of marijuana remains prohibited for all faculty, staff and students under Detroit Mercy AOD policy.

Employees and students who violate Detroit Mercy policy prohibiting the use or possession of illegal drug on or off campus will continue to be subject to disciplinary action.

Federal Drug Penalties

Federal law penalizes the manufacture, distribution, possession with intent to manufacture or distribute and simple possession of illegal drugs. Federal law penalties for possessing illegal drugs alone are harsh, as described below:

• First conviction: up to one-year imprisonment, a fine of at least $1,000 or both; after one prior drug conviction: 15 days to two years imprisonment and a fine of at least $2,500; and after two or more prior drug convictions: 90 days to three years imprisonment and a fine of at least $5,000 (21 U.S.C. §844(a)).
• Forfeiture of personal and real property used to possess or to facilitate possession of the illegal drugs if that offense is punishable by more than one-year imprisonment, as well as forfeiture of vehicles used to transport or conceal an illegal drug (21 U.S.C. §§853(a) & 881(a)).
• Denial of federal benefits, such as student loans, grants, contracts, and professional and commercial licenses, up to one year for the first offense and up to five years for the second and any subsequent offense (for trafficking, it is five years for the first offense, 10 years for the second offense and permanently for the third offense) (21 U.S.C. §862).

Under federal law, a federal or state conviction for illegal drug possession or sale that occurs while a student is enrolled and receiving federal aid can disqualify a student from receiving any federal student aid funds, such as loans and grants (20 U.S.C.§1091(r)(1)).

Solicitation for business, i.e., appealing for donations, selling goods or services, or soliciting donations to members of the University community on University property, is prohibited except when specifically authorized by the University designate or President’s Office in connection with an approved activity.

Solicitation of University students and employees for activities unrelated to University approved or sponsored curricular and co-curricular programs is prohibited. In connection with University approved programs and with the specific permission of Student Affairs officials, individuals, groups or associations may sell items in specific areas of the University as designated.

Students of the 香港六合彩开奖 have the right to attend class free from the distraction of non-students. Therefore, the general policy of the University is that non-registrants are not allowed in the classroom. This pertains to children of students as well as other non-registrants because classrooms and other instructional facilities are not intended for children. A faculty member may, at his/her discretion, allow a student to bring a child or other non-registrant to class in an emergency situation provided that:

• The behavior of the child or other non-registrant is appropriate to the
• The rights of all other enrolled students to an effective learning environment are
• That the presence of the child or other non-registrant is not habitual.
• That the child or other non-registrant does not compromise the academic use or alter of any computers or other equipment used in the learning

Under no circumstances should a student bring a child or other non-registrant to an experimental laboratory or a clinical facility.

Interim Suspension

If during the conduct procedure, the Dean of Students or their designee determines that a student’s continued presence represents a clear and present danger to persons, property or the ongoing academic/administrative processes of the 香港六合彩开奖, such student may face interim suspension. During the interim suspension, the student is not allowed on campus except to attend conduct meetings.

Conduct Procedure

The conduct procedure was established to guarantee protection of individual and/or group rights when accused of violating University Code of Conduct, policies, or procedures. Academic grievances are handled by the individual colleges/schools. The proceedings follow rules of administrative rather than legal bodies.

1. Filing of Charges: Written reports of an alleged violation(s) may be filed by a member of the University community against a student or student The report should be filed within two weeks of the incident with the appropriate University official designated by the Dean of Students.
2. Inquiry: The alleged violation(s) will be investigated within four weeks by an appropriate University official designated by the Dean of Students.
3. Notification: If the alleged violation(s) are found to have a reasonable basis in fact, a letter shall be sent within one week after completion of Step 2 to the student’s last known address informing him/her of the alleged violation(s), and the procedure to be
4. Informal Resolution Conference: Within two weeks of the notification, the student will arrange to meet with the appropriate officer to review and discuss the alleged violation(s). The student may at this time admit responsibility and accept appropriate sanctions, and that will conclude the matter. If a student does not choose to admit responsibility and the Dean of Students or their designee feels that the matter warrants further action the matter will proceed to a Formal Resolution
5. Formal Resolution Conference: Within two weeks of the informal resolution conference, the student will meet either with the appropriate office for an administrative
6. Letter of Conduct Procedure Action: Within two weeks of the conference (or failure of student to arrange a conference) the officer will send the student a letter stating the outcome of the investigation and sanctions as

Witnesses

A student that is required to attend a Formal Resolution Conference (FRC) may request witnesses to testify on their behalf at the FRC. Victims, complainants and the conduct officer may also invite witnesses to appear at the FRC. In the exceptional event that a witness is unable to attend the FRC, the witness may write or record a statement and discuss the statement with the student conduct officer before the scheduled conference. The student conduct officer is to be notified of a request for a witness(es) not less than two (2) working days before the FRC, whether in person or in writing. The student conduct officer may reasonably limit the witnesses called due to relevancy as well as the scope and time devoted to witness statements. Witnesses are typically asked to comment only on the event(s) pertinent to the charges, not the character of the charged student(s).

Advisors

The charged student, a victim in a sexual assault case, or any victim who has received permission from the student conduct officer, may have one advisor present at their Formal Resolution Conference (FRC). If the student wants to have an advisor present, the student must notify the student conduct officer of this fact in writing no less than two (2) working days before the beginning of the FRC. Advisors are normally members of the community (i.e., current full-time students, faculty, and staff). This advisor serves as a support person and is intended to be of direct assistance to the student before and during the conference.

The advisor may not speak for the student nor address the conduct officer. The advisor may not be an attorney.

Sanctions

The primary aim of the Code of Conduct is to help facilitate the growth of students by helping them deal maturely with questions of personal responsibility. These sanctions are intended as guidelines, which may be modified based upon extenuating circumstances.

The 香港六合彩开奖, in addition to imposing its own sanctions, may refer any violation of federal, state, or local law to the proper authorities.

1. Warning: An official reprimand for a minor violation indicating that continued improper behavior could result in a more serious disciplinary action. This sanction is normally given for at least a semester and not more than one year.
2. Discretionary Sanctions: These sanctions are given at the discretion of the Conduct Officer and are typically regarded as an educational opportunity for the student and will likely relate to the policy that has been violated. When such a sanction is assigned, there will be specifics as to what is to be completed and the deadline for completion (written proof must be submitted) and failure to complete the task is considered non- compliance. Examples of discretionary sanctions included, but are not limited to: Service with a campus office or community agency and work assignments or special
3. Restitution: Compensation for loss, damage, or This may take the form of appropriate service and/or monetary or material replacement.
4. Behavior Contract: This is a written contract between the student and the University in which the student agrees to correct inappropriate The length of the contract is typically no less than one semester and no more than one year.
5. Loss of Privileges: This sanction is denial of appropriate privileges for a specified period of time. Example of privileges that can be denied include (but are not limited to): access to all or part of a building, campus registration of a vehicle, parking in a specific area or during designated times, access to a program, holding of an office in a Registered Student Organization, participation in an extra-curricular activity, involvement in a university-related activity, and attendance at graduation
6. No Contact: This Sanction prohibits a student from having contact, including but not limited to, physical, written, verbal, and/or electronic contact with another student for a specified period of
7. Disciplinary Probation: This sanction indicates that the student has repeatedly violated minor policies or committed one moderate break of University The length of this sanction is typically at least a semester and no more than one year.
8. Removal from On-Campus Living: A student may be removed from the residence halls for repeated violations of policy or a severe violation of University This sanction typically is for no less than one semester.
9. Suspension in Abeyance: This sanction allows the student to continue to engage in University activities while providing one final opportunity to demonstrate they are a responsible member of the community. If during the suspension in abeyance a student is found in violation of the student code of conduct, the student will be immediately suspended for the duration of the abeyance, as well as given additional sanctions, including extension of the suspension or non-academic dismissal. Suspension in abeyance will last for a specified time or until certain conditions are met.
10. Suspension: Involuntary separation from the University for a defined period of time for a serious violation of the University policies. During this period the student is excluded from all academic and social functions and is prohibited from visiting the University except on matters which are directly related to the suspension. Suspension will last for a specified time or until certain conditions are A notation is made on the student’s permanent transcript in the Registrar’s Office.
11. Non-Academic Dismissal: Permanent separation of a student from the University when behavior indicates that the student is unfit to continue within the University The student is excluded from all academic and social functions and is forbidden from visiting the University. A notation is made on the student’s permanent transcript in the Registrar’s Office.

Suspension and non-academic dismissal will be at the discretion of the Dean of Students or their designee.

In suspension and dismissal, fees will be refunded in accordance with regular University procedures. The grades which would be appropriate if the student withdrew voluntarily would be assigned. In any of the previous sanctions listed, additional acts of misconduct or the violation of disciplinary restrictions may result in more serious disciplinary action.

Parental Notification

The 香港六合彩开奖 is very concerned about students’ use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs. Federal laws governing the privacy of student records, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), permits colleges and universities to inform the family of a student under 21 years of age when their student has been found in violation of university alcohol or drug rules and/or in the case of a health or safety emergency.

The goals of Parental Notification include:

• Reducing alcohol/other drug use by Detroit Mercy students
• Engaging parents in dialogue about their student’s behavior related to alcohol/drugs. A member of the Student Affairs professional staff will notify the family of a student:

1. By a phone call, if that student is transported to an emergency medical treatment center for drug use or intoxication or if a person’s health and safety is at serious risk, staff will contact the person the student listed as an emergency contact at the time the student is
2. In writing, from the Dean of Students if the university determines that the student (under 21 years of age) has committed a serious violation of alcohol or drug (This letter will be sent within several business days of the determination that the student violated Detroit Mercy alcohol or drug policies. Some policy violations that are considered less serious-for example, a person’s first time in a room where an empty beer can has been found-may not result in a notification letter being sent.)

Exceptions that may preclude Parental Notification involve certain situations related to a student’s personal relationship with or the current status of the parent. These exceptions will be granted in consultation with the conduct officer and the Dean of Students.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) is a federal law which states that an educational institution must establish a written institutional policy concerning the confidentiality of student education records and that students must be notified of this statement of policy and their rights under the legislation. In accordance with the Act, students at the 香港六合彩开奖 have the following rights:

• The right to inspect and review education records covered by the Act.
• The right to challenge (seek correction of) the contents of these records.
• The right to a formal hearing, if necessary, for a fair consideration of such a challenge.
• The right to place an explanatory note in the record in the event that a challenge of contents is unsuccessful.
• The right to control, with certain exceptions, the disclosure of the contents of the records.
• The right to be informed of the existence and availability of the constitutional policy covering FERPA rights.
• The right to report violations of FERPA legislation to the Department of Health and Human Services.

The substance of this act, which includes the location of educational records, procedure for inspection and review, access limitation and challenge procedure is available in the offices of the Registrar and the Dean of Students.

Disclosure of Public Information Statement

The following has been determined by 香港六合彩开奖 to be public information: student’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, major field of study, class level, expected date of graduation, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, most recent previous educational agency or institution attended, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams.

Public information may be released on request unless a student specifically appeals, in writing, that it be withheld. This request must be submitted annually to the Registrar within one week of the first day of classes of each academic year. Requests made for either personal or profit- making purposes will not be honored.

Students that wish to engage in demonstrations as a means of intellectual, spiritual, ethical or social development may do so. However, their ability to demonstrate does not supersede the right to safety, protection of property, or the educational process of the larger 香港六合彩开奖 community. Therefore, demonstrations may not interfere with the educational mission of 香港六合彩开奖 nor may they impede the free passage in rooms, corridors, walks, street entranceways, or areas where members of the 香港六合彩开奖 community or its guests have the right to be. The ability to demonstrate is protected only so long as it does not interfere with the rights and freedoms of others. 香港六合彩开奖 reserves the right to dictate time, place, and manner of demonstrations or any similar gathering. 

If the Dean of Students or the Director of Public Safety (or their designees) judge that the demonstration is not respecting the rights and freedoms of others, the demonstrators will be informed that they need to modify their behavior to be respectful of those rights and freedoms listed above. Demonstrators are expected to immediately comply. Failure to comply may result in a notification of local law enforcement authorities with appropriate legal and 香港六合彩开奖 charges filed against the demonstrators. Demonstrations that fail to respect the rights and freedoms listed above may incur both civil penalties and may be subject to disciplinary action imposed by the President or their designee. 

Deferred Recruitment Policy

The 香港六合彩开奖 currently utilizes a deferred recruitment policy model. This policy states that first semester freshman students are not eligible to take part in any Greek Life recruitment/intake process. Their eligibility may vary based on the individual organizations after that time period has passed. Deferred recruitment is a method of encouraging acclimation to the rigors of academics and promoting active time management in students.

Architecture Major Greek Policy

Due to the intensity of the program, students within the architecture major program of study must complete one full academic year prior to joining a Greek organization.

Additional Documentation Requirements

All Greek Organizations that have a national affiliation must include their National Constitution and By-Laws in addition to their local/state documents. These organizations must also maintain an up-to-date roster each semester with the Student Life Office; this roster must include executive board positions, advisor contact, and headquarters contact. All organizations must submit recruitment calendars, anti-hazing agreement forms, intake approval forms, etc. for eligibility to initiate new members.

Greek Council Representation

Each Greek Organization must be represented by two members in Greek Council. If an organization fails to adhere to the Greek Council (GC) attendance policy as outlined in the GC Constitution and By-Laws, their status as a Greek Organization on this campus will be in jeopardy. Communication for meeting schedules will come from the Assistant Director of Student Life as the primary advisor for this council

GPA Organization Requirement

Each Greek Organization must maintain a cumulative 2.5 GPA average to remain in active status at the 香港六合彩开奖. If a Greek Organization falls below the minimum requirement, they will be placed on academic probation. Once on academic probation, the Organization will remain on academic probation completing at least 10 hours of study tables per week with UAS for one semester. The organization will remain on academic probation each semester until meeting the minimum GPA requirement.

GPA Member Requirements

To join a Greek Organization at the 香港六合彩开奖, an individual either must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher from their transfer institution or a Detroit Mercy GPA of 2.5. With first semester freshman students currently ineligible for recruitment, high school GPA data is not considered in any recruitment/intake process. Note that this data will only be shared with the appropriate parties in accordance with FERPA policies. All students must review and submit a GPA verification form to the Office of the Registrar for the grade reporting process to be completed each semester.

Social Responsibility Policy for Greek Life

This policy expects members to abide by all federal, state, county, and local regulations governing the use, distribution, and consumption of alcohol. It shall become effective for and enforced by all members and Greek Letter Organizations at Detroit Mercy.

The Student Organization Policy is governed by the Student Code of Conduct and Guide to Residence Living. The University is not limited to the but may reference it as a guideline for social responsibility. 

The Social Responsibility Policy is designed to provide the safest possible social atmosphere for the members of the Greek Community and their guests, while allowing attendees to exercise the personal responsibility expected of students at Detroit Mercy.

The following objectives are essential to achieving this aim:

Alcohol Education Requirement

Each Fraternity and Sorority should facilitate one alcohol education each semester with proof of completion on file with the Student Life Office before October 1 in the Fall Semester and before February 1 in the Winter Semester. This is to ensure that all members commit their continued responsibility to memory and allow for new members to receive the education shortly after joining.

If a group is unable to complete this education by the aforementioned dates, the organization must communicate and plan with the Assistant Director of Student Life for additional opportunities to complete the requirement.

Risk Management

• Expectations – All chapters are expected to know and follow their own chapter’s risk management policies in addition to NIC Standards/FIPG and the Student Handbooks policies on Hazing, Alcohol Amnesty, Title IX, and Rights of the University for Off-Campus Incidents.
• All chapters must submit a copy of their own chapter’s Risk Management Policies which must be reviewed by the second week of April for each Academic Year with final approvals from the Student Life Office and Public Safety.

Event Registration

• All social events must be registered by submitting Guest Lists, risk managers, and promotional materials to the Student Life Office and Public Safety at least 48 hours preceding the event. Please designate the color wristband that will be used on a weekly basis.
• Do not proceed with the event until you receive a confirmation from the Student Life Office through email.
• Student Life requires 2 guests per member (member must be registered student, active and in good standing in the organization) as the limit for the event.

Event Management

• All guests must show 2 forms of identification being 1) Detroit Mercy Student ID and 2) State ID to note the date of birth before entry.
• Per Agreement: Sigma Pi, and Phi Kappa Theta will ensure that entry of guests under the age of 21 will be designated with “X” in black marker across the entire back hand and wristbands for guest 21 and over. Wrist bands should be changed for each event. The wrist band for each week should be submitted to the Student Life Office for verification.
• Events may only have one entrance.
• Refuse entrance to anyone who in the opinion of the Door Monitor may pose a threat to him/herself or others because of alcohol or other drugs. For safety concerns, contact Public Safety at (313)993-1234 immediately.
• Risk Managers should be wearing a shirt that distinguishes their identity at the event.
• No distribution of alcohol is permitted.
• No drinking or smoking apparatus should be permitted on the premises for any event.

Violations, Sanctions, And Appeals

Violations

• Each reported violation is subject to possible sanctions determined by the Code of Conduct and the Dean of Students Office.
• Each reported violation will result in a specified sanction.
• Any violation that occurs at the Event will be considered a violation by all sponsoring organizations.
• Upon the violation of any portion of this policy, the Dean of Students Office will decide an appropriate sanction.

Sanctions

Sanctions can be administered for any violation of any part of the Social Responsibility Policy.

Types of Sanctions may include but are not limited to:

• Community Service
• Probation
• Risk Management
• Letter to National Organization
• Suspension in Abeyance
• Suspension
• Termination of Chapter

Members of the 香港六合彩开奖 community affected by hate-motivated offenses are strongly encouraged to report these incidents. Such incidents can be reported to a variety of offices on campus including: The Dean of Students Office, Office of Residence Life, and the Department of Public Safety. Reporting discriminatory or hate-motivated incidents does not in itself constitute a formal complaint nor compel one to file a formal complaint of misconduct. However, it does allow those affected by such violations to have a support system and an avenue for recourse.

Students proven responsible for hate-motivated violations are subject to a range of disciplinary sanctions up to and including disciplinary expulsion from the 香港六合彩开奖. The Dean of Students may impose harsher sanctions when behavior is proven to be motivated by hate. As in all cases of misconduct, including hate-motivated offenses, both the accused student and the complainant have rights that are granted through the university conduct process. These rights are contained in their entirety in the 香港六合彩开奖 Student Handbook. In addition, students who have experienced discriminatory or hate-motivated conduct, behavior, or harassment may also seek additional redress under the Student Non-Code of Conduct Violations Grievance Procedure.

Anti-Hazing Policy

Hazing is considered by the Fraternity Executives Association to include any action that produces mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule. The 香港六合彩开奖 Code of Rights and Responsibilities states that no member of the University community may harass, threaten, coerce, abuse, or harm any person. Fraternities and sororities, athletic teams, and other student organizations, in their member recruitment, member development, and activities, are not excluded from these policies regardless of their own organization policies. At the same time, the University may support and act upon the hazing policies of each organization. Thus, student organizations are bound by both University and its own policies regarding hazing.

Hazing policy statements are a required part of files for all Greek social and service organizations, and any other organization engaging in pledging potential members. Hazing allegations will be investigated and followed up by the University quickly and aggressively.

Subtle Hazing

Behaviors that emphasize a power imbalance between new members/initiates and other members of the organization. Termed “subtle hazing” because these types of hazing are often taken-for-granted or accepted as “harmless” or meaningless. Subtle hazing typically involves activities or attitudes that breach reasonable standards of mutual respect and place new members/initiates on the receiving end of ridicule, embarrassment, and/or humiliation tactics. New members/initiates often feel the need to endure subtle hazing to feel like part of the organization. (Some types of subtle hazing may also be considered harassment hazing). Examples include, but are not limited to the following:

• Assigning demerits
• Deception
• Deprivation of privileges granted to other members
• Requiring new members/initiates to perform duties not assigned to other members
• Line-ups and Drills/Tests on information
• Socially isolating new members/initiates
• Line-ups and drills/tests on meaningless information
• Name calling
• Requiring new members/aspirants/Neos to refer to other members with titles, so as to suggest subornation, inferiority, or second-class status
• Expecting certain items to always be in one’s possession, or taking possession of one’s items without asking for permission
• Expecting or requesting new members/initiates to be deprived of maintaining their normal class study or schedule

Harassment Hazing

Behaviors that have the potential to cause emotional anguish or physical discomfort in order to feel like part of the group. It can be viewed as confusing, frustrating, and/or causing undue stress for new members/aspirants. (Some types of harassment hazing can also be considered violent hazing). Examples include, but are not limited to the following:

• Verbal abuse, including berating of individuals
• Threats or implied threats
• Asking new members to wear embarrassing or humiliating attire
• Stunt or skit events with degrading, crude, or humiliating acts
• Expecting, requesting, or demanding new members/rookies to perform personal service to other members such as carrying books, running errands, cooking, cleaning, etc.
• Sleep deprivation
• Sexual simulations or stimulations
• Expecting new members/rookies to be deprived of maintaining a normal schedule of bodily cleanliness

Computing at 香港六合彩开奖

Welcome to the 香港六合彩开奖’s Information Technology Services. As a member of the student body at 香港六合彩开奖, you will have access to many information technology resources. This guide acts as a reference for what is available, where you might find it, how to use it and where to obtain help when needed.

The ITS website is the location where you will find much of the online content available to you.  First and foremost, all University information technology related policies are located at this site and should be reviewed in detail prior to further use. Please note of importance, the Acceptable Use and Security Policy located online that you implicitly agree to by continued use of the University’s technology resources.

Connecting to the University Network

You are welcome to bring a personal computer for high-speed connectivity to the university network. Please understand, unlike a home environment, the university network is a more complicated shared resource where personal responsibility is necessary for all to benefit. Irresponsible or inappropriate use of the network is not tolerated. Any illegal or unethical use will be turned over to the proper authorities. Use of the network is a privilege that may be revoked.

Prior to connecting to the network, ITS strongly suggests the following safe computing practices:

• Installation of antivirus software configured for auto-update of virus definition files on a daily basis and auto-scanning and auto-cleaning of all hard drive partitions.
• Installation of all operating system and security patches for your operating system and all   installed applications. For Microsoft users, the best way to keep your PC current is to turn on automatic updates. With automatic updates, you do not have to search for updates online or possibly miss critical fixes or device drivers for your Windows PC. Windows Update automatically installs important updates as they become available. For Apple users, please check .
• Installation of a personal firewall.
• Installation of detection and daily cleaning software for adware, spyware and other unknown background processes.
• Removal of all illegally obtained software.
• Installation of a backup process in the event your hard drive malfunctions.

A computer connected to the Detroit Mercy network is vulnerable to the common threats that exist across the entire Internet. Taking these precautionary steps prior to connecting to the network will help to reduce potential problems.

Wireless networking is available in all McNichols classrooms and all McNichols residence buildings. General access spaces including the Library, Student Union and Calihan Hall are also equipped with WIFI service.

The University uses SSIDs “udmsecure” and “dormsecure” for connections. While we cannot guarantee any wireless connection is attached to an official Detroit Mercy access point, we can confirm that connections to access points with different SSIDs are not legitimate.

Connecting to the Residence Hall Network

In addition to in-room WIFI access, each room in the residence halls has two active wired data ports. To connect to the network over the wire you will need a PC or Mac with an Ethernet port and a Category 5 patch cable. Not all computers are equipped with Ethernet ports. Often, computers without Ethernet ports will have a USB port in which an adapter may be purchased and installed to establish a wired connection to the network. Adapters are available from most computer stores. Although WIFI is available in all dorm rooms, a wired connection is generally faster and more secure.

Connecting to Detroit Mercy from Off-Campus

Many academic and administrative resources are available to online and may be reached from off- campus locations across the Internet.

All sites are reachable through the University’s official website. As previously mentioned, you will also find links to IT resources as well as .

ITS Computing Labs

The ITS department operates several computing labs at the university. The main lab, known as the Quad Commons lab, has generous, student-friendly hours.

All ITS computing labs are equipped with the same login process and all have the same applications. If you are accustomed to using one of the labs during a class, you will find all other ITS computing labs provide an identical experience. Generic logins are used to login to the computers and details on login are available from the lab manager.

Students from across the university are welcome to use any of the labs; however; classroom reservations do take priority over individual usage. Schedules are posted outside the door of each lab and on the ITS Labs Page.

Several academic departments (Law, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, English, Communications Studies, etc.) operate their own labs for which different procedures and policies apply. Please visit these labs for more details.

All ITS computing labs are equipped with PC-based computers with USB ports which you may use to store your files. Files should not be stored on the lab computers since they are cleansed at logout or reboot.

Email, User Codes and Passwords

Carry your Detroit Mercy student ID with you at all times. You may obtain your Detroit Mercy student ID from the Titan Information Center.

No student is allowed entrance into any of the ITS Academic Labs without a current Detroit Mercy student ID. (Policy ITS-0006)

Two Primary Accounts

There are two distinct accounts each student is assigned to use.

– Leveraging the capabilities of the Microsoft Office 365 platform, all students are issued a @udmercy.edu email account for Detroit Mercy related communications.

- The University’s enterprise operations are managed through the My Portal system. My Portal provides students a central portal environment where University business may be conducted, class schedules are available, Blackboard may be accessed and much, much more. Your My Portal account credentials are often used for other University systems such as library databases and the Rave Emergency Alert system.

You may be granted accounts from other areas of the University from time-to-time for specific resources.

Who is eligible for Detroit Mercy student email?

All currently enrolled Detroit Mercy students are provided a Detroit Mercy email account. A Detroit Mercy student email account is kept active during the student’s entire academic career at the university. To access the email system, please log in to .

How do I obtain my Student email account?

For most students, your user codes and passwords will be provided to you by the Admissions office once accepted. If you do not receive them at that time, they will more than likely be sent by postal mail to your address of record in a letter from the Admissions or Registrar’s office. If you are still without an email address you must stop by in person at the Help Desk office. Bring a government-issued photo ID for verification as well as your T# (which is your university issued ID number that is available on your schedule and other University documents).

What happens if you forget your Email or My Portal password?

What happens if you forget your Email or My Portal password? If you forget your password, both systems provide a password reset feature on the login page. For email, click on this option to answer your previously established security questions and answers to reset your password and for the my.udmercy.edu portal, please click on the “reset password” link to send a password reset link to your University email account.

Should you be unable to reset your password using this option, you may reach out to the ITS Help Desk for assistance. The ITS Help Desk is required to validate who you before they will reset your password and this generally requires providing a government-issued photo ID.

Please note for My Portal users, after five failed attempts your account will be temporarily suspended.  Wait 5 minutes and try again or use the password reset feature.  Subsequent failed attempts will result in your account being locked out for longer periods of time. Every failed attempt doubles the wait time before the account may be accessed again.

Email Suggestions

Most email messages that attempt to validate personal information are a part of a scam to collect information for identity theft purposes. This is known as “phishing.” Under no circumstances will the University ask for your password by email or otherwise. If you receive a request to provide personal information, please disregard it.

Never click on a link that you are “pressured” into. Never provide any personal data at the request of another. You can always close a window by using the “X” box on the active window.

If you are doubtful of the authenticity of a request, feel free to forward the message to its@udmercy.edu to verify the legitimacy of the message.

Never simply click on a provided link as many spam messages contain false websites used to collect personal data. Although it may look authentic, it may not be official.

Never include your SSN, mother’s maiden name, passwords or any additional personally identifiable information within an email message. While you may believe email is private, messages travel across public networks and are susceptible to interception along the way. This is the nature of use of public network.

SPAM Protection

SPAM protection is turned on for all @udmercy.edu email accounts. Messages that trip the SPAM filters are placed in a “Junk Email” folder within your email account. Please review the messages to ensure you are not missing out on legitimate communications.

Student Email Policy (Policy ITS-0024)

Policy

All undergraduate and graduate students (including employees who are taking classes) will be assigned a University student email address with the requirement that they will read their email regularly. This will help ensure that they are kept informed of current University updates, deadlines, emergency notification, etc. It is the student’s responsibility to read all University correspondences sent to the student’s University email address by Detroit Mercy faculty and administration.

Rationale

Detroit Mercy is committed to increasing its interactions with students and improving ways of conveying important information.

This policy will enhance the ability of faculty and administrative offices to send official and course-related information to students via email with minimal barriers.

Guidelines

In general, redirecting Detroit Mercy email to another non-University email address is not encouraged. The University will not be responsible for the handling of email by outside service providers or servers. Having Detroit Mercy email redirected to another account does not absolve a student from the responsibilities associated with timely reading of communications sent to an official email address.

For those students who may not own a personal computer, a variety of computer resources are provided at sites around the campus in an effort to make the University email system relatively easy to access.

Please refer to the Student Handbook and the IT web site for specific locations. Public libraries are also places where students can go to access email.

P2P File Sharing

In accordance with the requirements of the United States HR 4137 Act Sec 493(29), the ITS department has installed a packet management solution to drop incoming and outgoing TCP/IP and UDP packets from all known illegal file-sharing services with the exception of those known to be operating within the law as viable entities.

When the RIAA or any copyright owner sends the ITS department a warning or “settlement letter” with Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of alleged offender requesting that the University forward the letter to the user whom they allege have infringed the copyright upon. ITS will internally identify and forward the notice to the individual whose computers are on record as being assigned to the IP address identified in the settlement notice.

The University is not responsible for the accuracy of the identification of addresses to which such notices are sent or for how individual users elect to respond to such notices. All users of University IT resources are ultimately responsible for their own conduct and for responding to any notification received from a copyright owner that is passed on to the user by the University. Users who have questions regarding a notice should contact legal counsel of their own choosing for advice.

Annually, the University will notify all students that if found in violation of this Act, they will be dealt with as documented below.

On the first detection, ITS will block the port and/or MAC address of the offending device. The user of the device will need to see the ITS Help Desk Manager to discuss the activity and take corrective action to eliminate the activity. Once cleared up, ITS will remove the block.

On any successive detection, ITS will block the port and/or MAC address of the offending device. The   user of the device will need to report to the Dean of Students. The Dean of Students will then handle the case according to Student Code of Conduct. Once the Dean of Students communicates approval in writing to lift the block for the offending device to ITS, then, and only then, ITS will then remove the block. Legally, civil or criminal penalties may apply.

Student/Faculty/Staff Personal Computer Purchase Programs

The 香港六合彩开奖 is pleased to have arranged educational pricing for hardware and software from a number of vendors. Visit ITS for more information.

Learning Management Systems (Blackboard)

The University utilizes the Blackboard Learning Management system which is available through your account.

Assistance is available through the .

Getting Help

All ITS Computing Labs are staffed to assist in the available technology. Staff are available for technical issues; however, they are trained not to comment on course-related materials and most especially homework. Staff aren’t there to do your homework nor are they familiar with the specific details your professor may have taught in a class session.

The Student Success Center (SSC) provides some tutorial assistance for course-related questions. The SSC is located on the 3rd floor of the library.

For all other IT related matters, the ITS Helpdesk is your go to resource. The ITS Helpdesk is located on the second floor of the Fisher building in room 230. You may also reach the online, by email helpdesk@udmercy.edu or by phone 313-993-1500.

Employment

For those interested in obtaining work experience within the world of information technology, open student positions are posted on .

ITS hires students to work on the Helpdesk, within labs, as videographers, on our network teams and within the AV department. No prior knowledge is required but just an openness to learn and serve is helpful for success in student positions.

All professional computing positions are posted online by the Human Resources Department.

Student Non-Code of Conduct Violations Grievance Procedure

Please note - This procedure is to be implemented only when there is not another procedure outlined to deal with the complaint, e.g., Harassment, ADA, and Title IX.

If a student believes, in good faith, that a member of the Detroit Mercy community (students, staff, or faculty) has failed to act in a manner consistent with the mission of Detroit Mercy then the student may invoke the Student Non-disciplinary Procedure. Students who knowingly make false accusations against another member of the University community could be found responsible for a violation of the Student Code of Conduct.

The following sections are designed to assist students in understanding the informal and formal Student Non-Code of Conduct Violations Procedure by which student grievances at 香港六合彩开奖 are resolved. The procedures are to be implemented in the spirit of the 香港六合彩开奖 Mission.

The informal procedure outlines a system that can resolve a violation without convening a formal Campus Grievance Committee (CGC). In cases where the informal system does not produce a satisfactory resolution to the student, that student has access to the formal process through the formal Student Non-Code of Conduct Violations Procedure described below.

When the University is not regularly in session, violations will be handled administratively.

Student Non-Code of Conduct Violations Procedure – Informal

• A suspected violation may occur because of a misunderstanding, misinterpretation or When this occurs, the student should seek a solution by talking with the person who they believe has acted outside of the mission. This conference should take place no more than two weeks after the suspected violation.
• If this first conversation does not arrive at a satisfactory resolution, the student should approach the Dean of the academic unit involved or the Director of the administrative unit involved. If these individuals are involved in the original dispute, the student should consult the person’s immediate supervisor.
  1. Please see this handbook for a listing of University Deans (page 13).
  2. The Dean or Director will consult with the people involved in the dispute to obtain relevant information. It is recommended that the student submitting the grievance prepare a written statement describing Any other individuals involved may also prepare written statements. The reviewer is entitled to require a written statement from the student before suggesting a solution.
  3. Any party to a dispute may request the assistance of the administrator responsible for the general area in which the problem occurred if that person is not already The student should receive a response within two weeks of the request for a review.

Student Non-Code of Conduct Violations Procedure – Formal

If the informal Student Non-Code of Conduct Violations Procedure does not produce a satisfactory resolution, the student may submit a formal written request to convene the Campus Grievance Committee. The student has two weeks to submit this request. The student submits this request through the office of the Dean of Students. The request must online the original problem, the steps taken to resolve the problem, and the reasons for the student’s dissatisfaction with the decisions previously made.

The Committee does not have to grant a formal meeting, but the student has a right to have previous decisions in the informal process reviewed by the Committee.

Upon receipt of the request, the Committee Chairperson will ask that each person involved submit a written account within two weeks of receiving the appeal. The Committee Chairperson will review this written record and recommend to the Committee whether or not the student should receive a formal meeting. The Committee then accepts or rejects the Chairperson’s recommendation. The Committee will communicate in writing to all parties involved its reasons for granting or denying a meeting.

If the Committee grants a meeting, it will request the involvement of all initial parties in the dispute. The student initiating the procedure must provide reasonable proof of the Student Non- Code of Conduct violation. In the event of a formal meeting, the proceedings will be recorded.

The student may make a written request to the office of the Dean of Students to review any Committee decision. The request must outline the original problems and the reason for the student’s dissatisfaction with previous decisions. The Dean of Students will respond to the student’s request within one month from its receipt.

Campus Grievance Committee

The Campus Grievance Committee is composed of three faculty, three administrators, and three students for staggered terms. Faculty will be selected by the Academic Vice President; administrators will be selected by the Dean of Students; and students will be selected by the Student Government Association. Members will be selected to ensure a fair and impartial hearing to every member of the University community, and represent the diversity of the student body.

Committee members with a conflict of interest in a case shall immediately disqualify themselves from the Committee deliberation and action on that case. Either party may raise the question of conflict of interest.

When an allegation is directed against a member of the faculty or staff, the Committee will make a recommendation to the appropriate level of administration on its findings.

When an allegation is directed against a student, the Committee will make its recommendation to the appropriate administrator.

Title IX Policy Notification Statement

香港六合彩开奖 does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its admissions policies, educational programs, activities and employment policies as required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments. See 香港六合彩开奖 Nondiscrimination Policy. Inquiries may be directed to the Vice President for Enrollment and Student Affairs. Students who have Title IX grievances should contact the Title IX Coordinator, Megan Novell, novellme@udmercy.edu,  313-993-1802, Title IX website.

Because of our belief in the dignity of each person, and through compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, amended in 2008, we strive to promote student's independence and to ensure recognition of their abilities, not disabilities.

SAS operates under the guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the implementation of reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities attending the 香港六合彩开奖.

Under the ADA, reasonable accommodations are adjustments made to assist students with disabilities in having equal access to programs, courses or activities.  These adjustments allow students to demonstrate their knowledge in a way that mitigates the impact of the student's disability. Through the use of the interactive process, adjustments are determined on a case by case basis.

Please complete a Request Form if you feel you may qualify for accommodations. If you had an IEP or 504 Plan during K-12, or received accommodations at a previous institution, or you have been diagnosed with a condition that substantially impacts one or more major life activities, please submit a Request Form to initiate the process.

Please note: provision of accommodations in high school, other academic institutions or on any standardized test does not guarantee that the same, or any accommodations will be awarded at Detroit Mercy.

See Student Accessibility Services Website for additional information.                                            

ADA Grievance Procedures

The Student Accessibility Services (SAS) office is responsible for determining accommodations and adjustments for students under the guidelines of the ADA. If a student disagrees with a determination which states they are not qualified for an accommodation or is approved for an accommodation but believes that it is not being provided as agreed, the student is encouraged to contact the Assistant Director of the SAS to attempt to resolve the issue informally or follow the formal grievance procedure.

If following the above procedures does not resolve the problem to the satisfaction of the student, a final written appeal may be submitted to the university’s Senior Attorney and Corporate Secretary, Monica M. Barbour.

This will constitute legal delivery of the citation to the vehicle’s operator. Non-receipt of an issued citation does not invalidate the citation.

7. The amount of time a vehicle is parked in violation (i.e., five minutes) does not warrant the vehicle not being cited.
8. The operation of a motor vehicle on 香港六合彩开奖 property is a privilege and not a right. Repeated or serious violations of safety or parking regulation may result in revocation of the parking privilege.

Students found responsible for a violation of the Student Code of Conduct may appeal the decision. The Dean of Students will determine if there are grounds to warrant an appeal. (Note - For cases in which the Dean of Students makes the disciplinary decision, the Associate Dean of Students or designee will assume the appeal role described in this section.)

The grounds must include one or more of the following:

• To determine whether or not the conference was conducted fairly
• To determine there was not sufficient evidence to establish responsibility
• To determine whether appropriate procedures were conducted in the formal resolution conference
• To determine whether the disciplinary action(s) imposed were appropriate for the violation
• To consider new evidence, sufficient to alter the decision or other relevant facts not brought out in the original conference

Timeline

The student has five (5) business days after the receipt of the written notification of the conference decision to file an appeal with the Dean of Student’s office. Failure to appeal within the five (5) business day period waives the right to appeal. Disciplinary actions will not be implemented while an appeal is under consideration.

Documentation

The appeal must be in writing and must contain the following:

• The completed Request for Appeal Form that includes a statement explaining in detail why the student is appealing; this form can be obtained in the Dean of Students Office.
• Copies of any documents that will substantiate or clarify the appeal

Review Of An Appeal Request/Appeal Conference

If approved, the conduct officer will set up an administrative conference with the student. The conference will be recorded so that a permanent record of the meeting is available. Based upon the appeals conference, the student will be notified in writing of the decision within five (5) business days. The decision is final.

• Be assisted by an
• Present evidence and witnesses in his/her own

Postponement Of Activity Participation And Conferring Of Honors And Degrees

The university reserves the right to delay or postpone the involvement of a student in any university- related activity, or delay or postpone the conferring of any honor or degree while there are pending student conduct procedures or actions.

Physical And Mental Health Separation

To help students perform their best, 香港六合彩开奖 provides the service of a personal counselor and Health Center. On occasion, however, some student’s physical and mental health needs are beyond that which the University can be reasonably expected to provide. When a student’s physical or mental health behavior threatens his or her welfare, disrupts or threatens the campus community or makes excessive demands on its staff, the Dean of Students or their designee, in consultation with the Director of the Wellness Center, may request the student to undergo an examination by a medical doctor and/or a psychiatrist at his/her own expense. The Dean of Students or their designee will take under advisement the recommendation and, if necessary, call for the separation of the student on medical or mental health grounds.

The University prohibits smoking and the use of electronic cigarettes (“e-cigarettes”) and all vaping devices in any indoor area, in all University vehicles, and outdoor seating or viewing areas of sporting events. Smoking is also prohibited outdoors within 25 feet of all University buildings entrances and exits (including residence halls).

Without in any way limiting the general rule, the University prohibits smoking and the use of e-cigarettes and all vaping devices in the following areas at the University: classrooms, conference rooms, meeting rooms, laboratories and storage areas, lounges, elevators, hallways, stairwells, restrooms, recreational facilities and residence halls.  Notwithstanding the above descriptions of locations where smoking is prohibited, the University prohibits smoking and the use of e-cigarettes and all vaping devices in any area with signage indicating that smoking is prohibited.

The 香港六合彩开奖, through its Mission and Core Values, is dedicated to teaching and learning and acknowledges that learning occurs both inside and outside the classroom. The University provides for its students an environment that fosters the free discussion of ideas and encourages students to seek truth, develop critical thinking and make informed and responsible decisions which influence their lives and the communities in which they live. An environment in which ideas are exchanged, examined and challenged enables students to explore the current frontiers of advancing knowledge, controversial issues of the day, and the implications for society.

Student knowledge and ideas are gained from conversations with their teachers, with each other and with others external to the campus community. Therefore, it is appropriate that recognized student organizations have the opportunity to invite to campus persons of their choosing who might provide opportunities to share and debate ideas. Well-planned programs involving invited speakers that encourage thought and discussion can be inspiring, empowering and educative.

Such invited speakers can complement or supplement the educational growth and/or cultural enrichment of the academic curriculum and are able to address current issues in a timely manner. Since an invitation to a speaker involves extending the hospitality of the University community, consultation with an official representative of the University is necessary before extending the invitation. Part of this consultation will be to define a format for the event appropriate to the topic.

In addition, the ordinary norms of hospitality are expected to prevail. The student organization extending the invitation must arrange for the program, care for the accommodations of the guest, conduct the program in a manner appropriate to an academic community, and accept responsibility for the effects (within their control or ability to foresee) which follow from the program or conduct of the guest.

The kind of conduct which restrains either the freedom of expression or freedom of movement of others who may not agree, or which is disruptive of University operations, is unacceptable in an intellectual community and a democratic society. Therefore, a proposed invitation of a speaker may be denied if the Dean of Students or designee determines, after appropriate inquiry, that the proposed speech will result in or that the speaker will advocate such actions as:

• Willful damage or destruction, or seizure of University buildings or property.
• Disruption or impairment of, or interference with, classes or other University actions.
• Physical harm, coercion, intimidation, or other invasion of the rights of University students, faculty, staff, or guests.
• Advocacy of violation of law or other disorder of a violent, dangerous or seriously disruptive nature.

In the event an invitation is denied for any of the above reasons, the decision can be appealed to a committee appointed by the Dean of Students. The committee will consist of two faculty members, two students, two student affairs staff members, and one other person.

Students are free to organize and to join associations whose stated purpose and actions are consistent with the University mission and its Catholic, Jesuit, and Mercy traditions. All student organizations seeking eligibility for University benefits must be registered with the University and must follow the procedures listed within these documents. Registration of a student organization carries with it certain responsibilities and certain rights and privileges. Registration of a student organization does not imply that the University endorses positions or points of view espoused privately or publicly by the organization. 

What is a Registered Student Organization? 

A registered student organization at the 香港六合彩开奖 is any group consisting primarily of students enrolled at Detroit Mercy, formed to contribute to those students’ educational growth, recreation, and/or personal development needs. Most importantly, a registered student organization is registered and approved by the Student Life Office via Detroit Mercy Live. The registration link will be adjusted annually to ensure accuracy with the current campus climate and needs. All student organizations much re-register on an annual basis and include updated contact information for communication and record accuracy. 

Relationship Statement with Student Organizations 

Registration of student organizations is necessary before university facilities and/ or services will be available. Registration is facilitated through the Student Life Office. The Student Life Office will maintain a list of all registered student organizations as public information. Registration and eligibility for University benefits shall neither be withheld nor denied on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, physical impairment, national and/or ethnic origin, or age.

All undergraduate student organizations seeking eligibility for University rights and privileges must be registered by the Student Life Office. Graduate school and professional school student organizations seeking eligibility for University rights and privileges are also required to register. Student organizations at the Law School should consult their appropriate Student Affairs Office for details on registering. 

The Registration Process 

In order to be eligible for the privileges and services available to student organizations, an organization must register with the Student Life Office. The registration process consists of the following: 

• Completion of the registration process through Detroit Mercy Live. 
• Submission of an up-to-date constitution and bylaws. If an organization has a national affiliation, the national constitution and bylaws must be submitted as well. The local constitution must contain the following information: 
• The name of the organization. When registered, the name may end with the words, “at the 香港六合彩开奖.” 
• a statement of purpose and goals of the organization. 
• a list of membership requirements and duties 
• a list of organizational officers, requirements for office, duties, and provisions for election and recall. 
• Procedures to adopt and/or amend the constitution. 
• A provision regarding the role of the faculty moderator for the organization. 
• A statement that affirms the organization’s compliance with the University’s non- discrimination policy in regard to membership. 
• A statement with respect to the organization’s affiliation, if any, with off-campus organizations. 
• Register and attend the annual student organization leadership conference sponsored by the Student Life Office. 

It is the presiding officer’s responsibility to see that an up-to-date constitution is provided. In the case of constitutional questions or concerns where the Student Life Office is involved, the constitution listed in Detroit Mercy Live will be used to resolve the matter. It is important that every member of the organization have a copy of the organization’s constitution or, at least, be familiar with its contents. 

Registration Approval 

Registration of a student organization will be approved unless the University finds that the organization: 

• seeks to accomplish objectives, goals and/or activities through violence 
• engages in activities that interfere with the discipline and normal activities of the University or the rights of others 
• seeks personal gain 
• engages in activities that present danger to property, personnel, and/or functions of the University 
• promotes goals or exhibits behaviors that are inconsistent with acceptable conduct at an American Roman Catholic university 
• refuses to comply with federal or state laws including the Board of Trustees’ policies or University rules and regulations 

In registering a student organization, the Student Life Office must ensure that the purpose of the organization is consistent with the mission and goals of the 香港六合彩开奖 and its Catholic, Jesuit and Mercy character. 

The administration of the University reserves the right to review such decisions, offer guidance on them, and even intervene when necessary, if the educational values and mission of the University appear to be undermined. 

Disputes, challenges, and exceptions to the registration policies may be resolved by the Dean of Students or designee. 

Registration of a student organization does not constitute University endorsement or approval of the practices or activities of the organization. However, it does signify an acceptance on the part of the organization to comply with state law and the rules, regulations and policies of the University and the Detroit Mercy Board of Trustees. Student organizations at the 香港六合彩开奖 are categorized based upon their relationship to the University, and their overall goals and purpose. 

• Administrative: These are student organizations that have a special administrative relationship with the University due to their function, purpose and overall representation of the student body. Organizations in this category receive administrative support and advising from the Student Life Office, and/or the Office of Residence Life. The administrative student organizations consist of Student Government Association, Campus Activities Board, Student Presidents' Council, Greek Council (consisting of the Interfraternity Council, College Panhellenic Council, and National Pan-Hellenic Council), and the Residence Hall Association. For information about any of these organizations, please contact the Student Life Office at (313) 993-1150. Student Government Associations related to professional schools (Law and Dental) are advised by Student Affairs/Services staff in the respective colleges. 
• Other Student Organizations: Other student organizations are formed according to interests, purposes and goals, such as: Ethnic/International, Honorary, Special Interest, Academic, and Professional. For questions about an organization’s categorization, please contact the Student Life Office at (313) 993-1150. 

Registration Status 

To maintain “registered” status, student organizations must re-register each year.  Student Organizations must register according to notification that will be sent out the Student Life Office each year, on Detroit Mercy Live. Student Organizations must attend the Student Organization Leadership Conference and attend Student President’s Council meetings as well. Organizations that fail to meet these requirements will be considered "frozen", and are not eligible for Student Organization rights and privileges. 

Rights and Privileges 

Registration of student groups is a privilege and is not intended to restrict the free association of students in non-registered groups. Upon registering, student organizations are entitled to several privileges, including but not limited to the following:

Interest Group Status 

An interest group is a student organization with two or less members. This status will allow the group the opportunity to continue to recruit members at Detroit Mercy in order to meet the student organization eligibility requirements to be recognized as a registered student organization. Once an interest group has met the requirements listed below, the student organization will therefore be known as a registered student organization at Detroit Mercy. Interest Group Status is limited to one academic year. After one year, the status of the group will be reviewed by the Assistant Director of Student Life. Current eligibility requirements are the following: 

• A minimum of 3 currently registered students at Detroit Mercy.

• All officers must have at least 2.0 GPA (this number may vary based on individual organization requirements).

Prohibited Activities 

•  A registered student organization may not represent or imply in any manner that it speaks for, or in the name of, the 香港六合彩开奖.

Registered student organizations may not use the seal or other trademarks of the 香港六合彩开奖 without authorization from the University. 

Prohibiting Proselytization 

 *Proselytization: convert or attempt to convert (someone) from one religion, belief, or opinion to another. * 

This policy is meant to clarify the expectations the University holds for all religious groups on campus. 

No internal or external religious organization is allowed to proselytize on the Detroit Mercy campus. By definition, proselytization means using pressure to turn another from one opinion, belief, creed, or party to another. Proselytization is particularly characterized by the exercise of manipulation or coercion to encourage conversion from one religious faith or sect to another. 

Proselytization is different and distinct from evangelization. Evangelization is characterized as invitational and includes open and full disclosure of the object and content of faith and is accompanied by complete freedom of choice and association. 

香港六合彩开奖 provides access to resources and students on campus for those who comply with the regulations and procedures outlined below, and whose activities are consistent with the University’s mission: 

香港六合彩开奖, a Catholic university in the Jesuit and Mercy traditions, exists to provide excellent student-centered undergraduate and graduate education in an urban context. A Detroit Mercy education seeks to integrate the intellectual, spiritual, ethical, and social development of students. 

香港六合彩开奖 requires all religious groups to abide by the following requirements: 

• All official student groups must be registered with the Student Life Office. At least one representative from each group must meet with the Assistant Director of Student Life and the Director of University Ministry (or their designee) at the beginning of each academic year. 
• All groups must identify the name and purpose of the organization explicitly in all verbal and written communications and flyers. 
• All religious organizations must also provide the contact information of a person within the organization who will be in regular contact with University Ministry and the Student Life Office and who will be responsible for compliance with university policies and procedures. 
• All groups shall refrain from soliciting or exerting pressure on students, faculty, and staff for any reason, including to recruit participation in particular events or to recruit individuals to join the religious organization or denomination. 
• Groups must practice tolerance and respect toward the Catholic, Jesuit, and mercy traditions as well as all other religious traditions. 
• Established religious organizations will be subject to an annual review of their compliance with the requirements set forth in this policy. 
• The Student Life Office and University Ministry reserve the right to immediately review and suspend the approved registration status of any religious group that fails to comply with the standards and requirements set forth in this policy. 

Rationale 

The 香港六合彩开奖 is a private, Catholic university in the traditions of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits) and the Sisters of Mercy. We celebrate our religious heritage and identity through educational and spiritual development and expression. In seeking to educate the whole person, form humans for others, and encourage compassionate service toward those in need, Detroit Mercy affirms the centrality of faith, and encourages the personal and communal enrichment that is derived from the presence of faith traditions on our campuses.

• To impose discipline, as deemed appropriate through its student discipline system, upon any student or student organization whose conduct violates University policy or codes of conduct or goes beyond that which is protected by this particular policy. 
• Procedures for Registering a Student Organization Criteria for Registration of a Student Organization
• For an organization to be considered for registration, the following criteria must be met: 
• The organization must consist of at least three 香港六合彩开奖 students
• all officers must be 香港六合彩开奖 students with at least 2.0 GPA’s (could vary based on individual organization); 
• The organization must have a moderator who is a faculty member carrying the rank of instructor or higher, or a staff member on administrative appointment. If the moderator resigns, the organization has the sole responsibility of finding a new moderator within one month
• The goals and purposes of the organization must be consistent with the mission and core values of the University and its Catholic, Jesuit, and Mercy character. 

Off-campus Incidents 

The University reserves the right to investigate and subsequently take University action for behavior of Detroit Mercy students in off-campus situations when such behavior is believed to have an impact on the Detroit Mercy community, such as alleged instances of criminal activity commencing on campus but relocated off campus; harassment of or assault on a member of the University community; criminal activity involving a student, whether as an individual student or as a member of a university-recognized organization; violations of city ordinances, such as public intoxication, noise and vandalism; code of conduct violations in organized group living situations or in university-owned housing.  

The decision to act in such cases will be determined by the Dean of Students or their designee in consultation with appropriate university officials. This provision is also applicable to students studying abroad. 

Overall Policy Rationale 

Students are the most valuable human resource at the 香港六合彩开奖. Student organizations are vital in liberating the gifts of the student body in helping the University achieve its mission. A student organization policy is necessary to help provide continuity, stability, and support to organizations, to assure equitable distribution of services and facilities, and to encourage students to cooperate toward shared goals. Registration of organizations is required annually. Students must provide an accurate and consistent contact person with this annually registration for maintenance of communication and record keeping. 

Students compete in the classroom, but graduates are called upon to collaborate in their careers. Students seek the freedom of individuality but try to avoid isolation through associations and relationships. At the University, student organizations are an important factor in the total educational process. 

Student organizations bring together people with similar interests and at the same time challenge them to accept each other’s diverse knowledge and skills. Organizations encourage members to expand friendships beyond those they had prior to coming to the University. Organizations encourage students to spend more leisure time growing and learning. Organizations help students not only develop leadership skills, but the skills and values involved in playing support roles of collaborating and of sharing credit for group success. Organizations provide relationships that follow graduates long beyond the campus years. 

Organizations free students to dream dreams bigger than themselves, and to have a collective base of talents to bring some of those dreams into reality.  

Organization Moderators 

Each registered student organization must identify a moderator. An organization moderator must be a full-time member of the faculty or staff at the 香港六合彩开奖. The moderator should be available to consult with the student organization that they have agreed to advise. The 香港六合彩开奖 encourages all moderators to provide active on-going academic and social leadership. 

In addition to their normal workload, a moderator is also putting in time to help guide an organization as a volunteer. 

Because of this, the organization has responsibilities to the moderator, much like the moderator has a responsibility to the organization. 

Faculty moderators are employees of the University whose primary responsibility is to teach students in curricular classes or serve in a University administrative position. Faculty moderators work with student organizations because they want to, and because they feel they can contribute to the organization’s success. 

Responsibilities of University Moderators 

The primary role of the moderator is to provide overall guidance and support to the organization. This guidance includes compliance with University policies and procedures. It is not the moderator’s responsibility to sign contracts or checks for the student organization (this does not apply to administrative organizations). 

Other responsibilities of the moderator include the following: 

• moderators should try to ensure that meetings are properly scheduled, serve as a resource person at executive board and regular meetings, and attend the functions of the organization. 
• moderators should assist with the formulation and/or vision of the organization’s constitution and bylaws. 
• moderators should encourage and assist the organization in carrying on an active and significant program, and work with the officers to promote the effective administration of the organization. 
• moderators should assist the treasurer in maintaining accurate accounting and in formulating an annual budget, as well as budgets for individual activities. 
• if it is necessary for the moderator to resign their position, they should notify the organization and the Student Life Office as soon as possible. 

Responsibilities of Organizations to their Moderators 

Every registered student organization is responsible for recruiting a University moderator. The moderator should be recognized as a valuable source of information to the organization, but not as a member. 

• The moderator should be invited to all events sponsored by the organization (meetings, social events and other activities).  
• An organization should plan its meetings at a time when the moderator is able to attend and should check all dates for scheduling events with the moderator first. The moderator should be welcomed at each event and thanked for coming at the close of the event. 
• The president (and/or executive board) of the organization should meet regularly with the moderator to discuss organizational matters. Keep the moderator informed of the programs and activities of the organization, and of the progress being made in carrying out plans. 
• Necessary expenses of the moderator for social affairs and activities should be paid for by the organization. 
• Most importantly, use the moderator as a resource. Ask for the moderator’s advice and opinion when problems come up in the organization. Make use of the moderator’s background and experience within the organization and the University.  
• Never go over the moderator’s head when working out problems. Always start with them first before contacting outside sources. 

The following policy governs all student organization events which charge an entrance fee, sell tickets, accept donations towards the event or sponsoring organization, expect more than 100 participants to attend, and/or is open to non-organizational and non-University affiliated patrons. 

Registration of Events & Public Safety                                                                                                 

All currently registered student organizations are to follow the “Room Reservations” policy detailed within Student Handbook. All reservations require approval from the scheduling department responsible for the space requested. To reserve a space, complete the Event Request Form and submit it to the appropriate scheduling department according to the “Room Reservations” policy. 

After receiving a tentative scheduling date, the sponsoring organization must communicate via email to the Assistant Director of Student Life, and if necessary Public Safety for authorization. The sponsoring organization must contact the 香港六合彩开奖 Department of Public Safety for approvals at least 30 days prior to the event date for presence requests. The Detroit Mercy Department of Public Safety will determine within two weeks if they can provide staffing for the event. The Detroit Mercy Department of Public Safety and the Student Life Office reserve the right to deny authorization of an event based on the following: 

• Conflicting events or too many scheduled campus events 
• If the sponsoring organization has an outstanding balance with Public Safety or other departments associated with previous events 
• Event Authorization/request form is not submitted within 30 days prior to the event (visit University Services website for details) 
• Event is not in accordance with the Student Life Office Student Organization Event Policy 

The Department of Public Safety must give notice to the sponsoring organization within two weeks of the receipt of the Student Organization Event Policy Authorization request confirming if they can provide the required officer coverage for the event. 

For the Department of Public Safety to staff an event the sponsoring student organization will be charged a rate of $40.00 per hour for each officer. There must be a minimum of two officers at any event. Payment for security services shall be paid within ten business days after the event or a late charge will be applied. A late charge of $10.00 will be added to the sponsoring organization’s bill every 30 days until full payment is received. 

• Once the Student Organization Event Policy Authorization has been approved the Department of Public Safety, the Assistant Director of Student Life will then inform the sponsoring student organization confirming the event. 
• Only registered organizations that are in good standing may host an event. Organizations that are not in good standing will not be allowed to co-sponsor events. 
• Events will be allowed only during Terms I and II, excluding summer terms, holidays/ holiday weekends and vacation periods. 

Cancellation                                                                                                 

An organization must notify the On-Duty Supervisor of the Detroit Mercy Department of Public Safety in writing 48-hours prior to the scheduled event to avoid incurring any charges related to the canceled event. If notification is not given to the Department of Public Safety in writing within the 48- hour period, the organization will be charged the full rate in providing security for the canceled event. 

Advertising                                                                                                  

Advertising for events is limited to the University radio station, flyers, Detroit Mercy Live, social media, and handbills at the 香港六合彩开奖 and other college campuses. All advertisements must be approved by the Student Life Office prior to approval of the event and posting. Advertising must include: 

• Statement that “current student or picture ID is required for entry” 
• Time of open and close of event 
• Advertising may not include any reference to alcohol, drinking alcohol or an alcoholic beverage sponsor 

Damages                                                                                                       

Sponsoring organizations are responsible for all event-related damages. The facility will be inspected at the beginning and end of the function to note current damage and damage incurred. This is to be done by a representative of the sponsoring organization and an officer from the Department of Public Safety. If any damages are noted by the sponsoring organization and the Senior Event Officer of the Department of Public Safety an incident and damages report will be given to Detroit Mercy Facility Operations. The sponsoring organization will be billed for all damages, including materials and labor. 

Admission Policies/Procedures 

Admission to such events is determined by the following policies:
