Designated Student Life staff members will follow up on the situation with the offending student(s)/tenant(s) and affected student(s)/tenant(s) involved (if applicable). This involves discussing the allegation or incident with the student(s)/tenant(s) and determining an appropriate response (e.g. meeting with all the people involved, suitable apologies, restitution, warning, community service, monetary fine, reimbursement, etc.). When necessary, other appropriate staff/faculty may be consulted, and/or local authorities may be notified.
Subsequent or more serious breaches of the responsibilities may be dealt with in a formal process overseen by the Vice President of Student Life and may be referred to the Accountability Committee for resolutions if deemed necessary. The Accountability Committee may consist of, but is not limited to: Vice President of Student Life, Academic Dean (as needed), Student Life staff member, Executive Assistant to VP of Operations (as needed), and student representative(s) (when requested).
Actions are applicable to the Disciplinary/Accountability process not Restorative Justice Process.
The Disciplinary/Accountability Process, whether formal or informal, will result in an Accountability Action being taken ranging from Level 1 to Level 5. Although the levels indicate a progression of consequences for breaking the covenant, tenancy agreement, or the standards of any of our student handbooks/guides, students should be aware that serious incidents may result in actions being taken at any of these five levels. Additionally, although each situation is considered on an individual basis, repeated violations of the Covenant of Community Life, tenancy agreement, or the standards of any of our student handbooks/guides are taken into consideration when consequences for chosen behaviours are determined. As well, because Providence values community, the welfare of the community will be balanced against the rights of the individual as the restitution process is entered into and accountability decisions are made. Please note that Actions of Levels 3, 4, and 5 will be administered through the formal process above.
