The easiest way to understand the judicial process is to begin examining
it by the nature of the offense.  The two primary categories of misconduct
are separable and non-separable offenses:
 

Separable offenses are those which are serious enough to potentially
     merit suspension or expulsion from the University.

Non-separable offenses are less serious and would merit a sanction
     less than suspension or expulsion (e.g. warning or probation).
     The judicial process for both types of offenses begins at the individual's
     college or school of affiliation.  Non-separable offenses continue to be
     dealt with at the college level; separable offenses, unless an individual
     admits responsibility, proceed to the  university level.
