What Are Title IX Penalties?
Students found responsible for Title IX violations face a wide array of penalties, ranging in severity depending upon the nature of the sexual misconduct.

What You Should Know:
Types of title IX Penalities
No Contact Orders
In nearly every case in which there is a finding of responsibility, schools order that a No Contact Order remain in place. A No Contact Order is an administrative directive issued to the Complainant and Respondent prohibiting the parties from having intentional contact with each other. The restriction on intentional contact is broad and limits in person communication, communication through third parties, and communication through all forms of social media. If a student violates a No Contact Order, the student may face additional student discipline proceedings.
Probation
Probation is a notice to a student that the conduct in issue was serious enough that it could jeopardize the student’s enrollment at the college or university. While a student is on probation, a school may require the student to complete additional requirements such as completion of online education modules addressing topics like consent or drug and alcohol abuse. In addition, a student on probation may face a loss of privileges such as holding a leadership position in a student organization or living in student housing. If there are additional Title IX violations or Student Conduct violations, the student will face escalating sanctions.
Suspension
Suspension constitutes the loss of student status for a period of time. During a period of suspension, a student cannot enroll in classes and there may be a hold on the student’s account that restricts the student’s ability to request a transcript. Although not every school notes a suspension on a student’s transcript, many do. At some schools, suspension even includes a restriction on the student entering campus. If the student does enter campus, the student may face trespass charges.
Expulsion
Expulsion is permanent separation from a school for disciplinary reasons. Like suspension, expulsion too is typically reflected on a student’s transcript.
