  2. To Reimburse and/or Restore the Student: This involves returning the student to good standing within the University community, provided the safety of the community is not jeopardized by the student’s presence; and/or to Reimburse the community for costs that may be associated with address in a situation.
  3. To Reflect: This allows the student to think about their actions and the impact that their actions may have had upon themselves, others, and the University community.
