Extension Student Appendix

Students desiring to enroll in Juilliard Extension must have an appropriate visa. Juilliard will not sponsor any visa for this purpose. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm with the Office of International Advisement that their immigration and/or visa status permits enrollment in Extension courses prior to enrolling. For a chart on visa categories and the ability to study in the US, please refer to: http://www.nafsa.org/_/File/_/sevp_who_can_study.pdf.

In the event that the standards and codes of The Juilliard School are violated, the School will address these violations by conducting a full investigation and instituting disciplinary action when the School deems it necessary. Any student and/or his or her guest for whom the student is responsible found to be in violation of any of these policies, rules, and regulations may be warned and/or disciplined. Any member of the Juilliard community may file an anonymous report of an infraction. The School will independently investigate all reports. In keeping with Juilliard's goal to provide a safe environment, the Extension director, the provost and dean, the vice president for enrollment and student development, dean of student affairs, assistant dean of student affairs, or their designee(s) may act immediately in the best interests of the Juilliard community in situations that threaten the health, safety and welfare of Juilliard students, personnel, and property.

The aforementioned individuals or their designees may suspend immediately from the Juilliard community any student who is deemed to be a threat to the community.

The director of Extension will review alleged violations of any Juilliard policy and will determine the extent of the violation and the form of adjudication based on the nature and severity of the offense. Policy violations for Extension will be adjudicated by administrative hearing when deemed necessary. Alternatively, a student may elect to waive the right to a hearing, take responsibility for conduct violations and accept sanctions through administrative agreement. Cases of academic misconduct will be reviewed by the director of Extension.

The Juilliard School respects and is determined to protect the individual dignity, integrity, and reputations of its students. At the same time, it requires that students comply with those conventions and regulations of student life that are necessary to maintain order, to protect individuals and property, and to fulfill its purposes and responsibilities as an institution of higher learning. Juilliard seeks to create for students a positive living and learning environment. Toward that end, the model for disciplinary procedures that Juilliard adopts is that of the administrative/educational process, not that of the criminal or civil courts.

Any judicial decision may be appealed to the dean of academic affairs, provost and dean, or designee. Judicial sanctions may be modified through the appeals process. All decisions made based on an appeal are final. Appeals will only be considered on the following basis:

• The existence of newly discovered evidence not available at the time of the hearing.
• A substantive violation, mistake, or error in the procedures established for conducting hearings has occurred, which would have significantly altered the outcome of the hearing.
• The original sanctions are unjust or inappropriate for the violations.

An infraction of any Juilliard policy, rule, regulation, or code may result in one or more of the following disciplinary sanctions:

• Penalties at the discretion of the reviewer including, but not limited to letters of apology, restitution or any other penalty deemed appropriate, including termination of the program.
• Oral warning.
• Written warning: this warning becomes part of the student’s permanent record. 
• Loss of certain privileges (as deemed appropriate by the reviewer). 
• Monetary fines. 
• Disciplinary probation: This status becomes part of the student’s permanent record. The student’s behavior is monitored closely and the student may be restricted from participating in school activities. Any further violation of the Student Code of Conduct while on this status may result in immediate action, including but not limited to, suspension or expulsion from the institution.
• Suspension: A student may be required to take a leave of absence for a specified period of time.
• Expulsion: A student is permanently prohibited from enrolling at The Juilliard School.
• Persona non grata (barred from Juilliard campus): A student is not permitted in the Juilliard building. Failure to adhere to this sanction may result in arrest for trespassing.

This is not an all-inclusive list of possible sanctions and other sanctions may be imposed.

Violating the terms of sanctions, or failure to comply with or complete sanctions by the assigned deadlines may result in further disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.

The School complies with the FERPA and does not disclose, unless such disclosure falls within one of the exceptions. In general, under School policy and federal law, information about disciplinary proceedings against a student is confidential and may not be disclosed to others. However, in certain cases involving allegations of gender-based misconduct (including sexual harassment, sexual assault, gender-based harassment, stalking and intimate partner violence), the School is required to disclose hearing outcomes. Students should consult the Sex-Based Misconduct & Harassment Policy and Adjudication Procedure or contact the School’s Title IX Coordinator for rules in these cases.

A copy of the charges and disciplinary hearing response are kept in the student's confidential educational file within the School.
