Arrests & Disciplinary Referrals

For Weapons, Drug, and Liquor Law Violations, Clery reportable crimes are those incidents only where arrests or disciplinary referrals occur. Arrests include not only physical arrests, but issued North Carolina State citations that require a court appearance. If both a disciplinary referral and citation are issued, only the arrest is counted. For information on the University’s Code of Conduct see the Student Code of Community Standards and Citizenship Education Process.
