No-Contact Directives

In cases involving allegations of assault, injury, sexual abuse, harassment, or in cases where there is reason to believe continued contact between a student and specific persons may interfere with those persons’ security, safety or ability to participate effectively in work or studies, the University may issue a written instruction to a student, called a no-contact directive, that prohibits a student from having verbal, physical, written, and/or electronic contact with specific other persons for a definite or indefinite period of time. A no-contact directive also may prohibit a student from being present on designated University-controlled property. Any student, faculty, or staff member or other person with a reasonable justification may request that the University issue a no-contact directive to a student. However, the University retains ultimate authority to decide whether or not to issue a no-contact directive. Restrictions in a no-contact directive are not interim restrictions.
