Important Note About Policy Violations
During Finals Week:
Finals week (Friday, May 10 at 11:59pm – Friday, May 17 at 7:00am) can be a very
stressful time for students. While some people have only one final, others can have
3-5 during the course of the week. One of our goals is to maintain an environment
that is conducive to academic success. Please keep in mind while you are packing up
and moving out that people are studying and sleeping. Try to be respectful to those
students.
Please remember: “Sanctions for policy violations during finals week will be more strict.
Typically, sanctions given for violations during finals week will be increased by one
level.” (Student handbook, page 57)
Most Common Policy Violations During Finals Week – Things to Avoid:
• Alcohol :
» » Having alcohol in room/microfridges if you are under 21.
» » If you are over 21 and store alcohol in common areas with underage
roommates. (If an alcohol violation is found in rooms or suites during checks, all
residents who live in the area where it was found will be held responsible. )
• Marijuana
• Vandalism
• Noise
If You Are Found In Violation of Policies During Finals Week:
Even if you are not returning as a resident, you will still face consequences for your
actions:
• Letters will be sent to your Fresno State e-mail regarding policy violations.
• Sanctions to complete over the summer, including educational sanctions.
• Financial restitution and/or fines.
If you fail to respond to communications during or after finals week or fail to
complete your responsibilities & sanctions, the following may occur:
• Holds placed on your Fresno State account (Preventing you from accessing your
grades or registering for classes.)
• Additional educational sanctions.
• Referral to the Dean of Students.
IF YOU ARE RETURNING AS A RESIDENT FOR 2019-20, YOU MAY
ALSO LOSE YOUR HOUSING FOR THE 2019-20 YEAR IF YOU VIOLATE
POLICIES DURING FINALS WEEK.
