TAMIU Student Handbook 2019-2020

Page 40 of 86 The health and safety of our students are of primary concern at TAMIU. TAMIU is committed to ensuring that students obtain timely medical assistance for themselves and fellow Dustdevils in the case of medical emergencies. The Division of Student Success recognizes that the potential for disciplinary action by the University may discourage students from seeking medical assistance for themselves or others in a time when medical attention is needed. The Good Samaritan Amnesty assists individuals whose judgment or health is affected due to the consumption of alcohol or controlled substances by removing impediments to seeking such assistance. Students are encouraged to contact the University Police Department, medical emergency professionals or other University officials when assistance is needed. To learn about the process, please read Appendix E. Section 8.06 No Contact Orders (No Communication Order) No Contact Orders are directives issued by the Office of Student Conduct and Community Engagement or the Office of Compliance prohibiting contact or communication between or among designated students. No Contact Orders (NCOs) are issued when, in the judgment of a Student Conduct Administrator or Director of Equal Opportunity and Diversity/Title IX Coordinator, there is reason to believe that an order would be in the best interest of all parties and the community for promoting peace, civility or maintaining the integrity of an investigation. The NCO does not imply any judgment regarding the factual nature of the incident. NCO's do not become part of a student's conduct record unless they violate the order as determined by the student conduct system or NCO is imposed as a sanction. NCO's prohibit all forms of communication between designated students, direct or indirect, written, electronic or through a third party. The director of SCCE (or their designee) or Director of Equal Opportunity and Diversity/Title IX Coordinator determines the duration of an NCO. Students may request that an NCO be lifted after a sustained period of compliance. No Contact Orders are not court imposed restraining orders and do not guarantee that designated parties will avoid sightings or passing interactions on the campus or local community. In some circumstances, no contact Orders may restrict students from parts of the campus not necessary for required academic activities. Students who are concerned about personal safety should contact the Campus Safety Department 956.326.2100 at University Police Department building or local police. Students who have questions about NCO’s may speak with a Student Conduct Administrator during business hours at 956.326.2265 or visit Student Center 226.
