Northern Illinois University

At Northern Illinois University, a sum may be imposed as administrative discipline for an offense. Student judicial administrative fines will range from a minimum of $50 to a maximum of $300, to be imposed at the discretion of a student judicial adjudicator or a Judicial Hearing Board. The offender is billed by the Bursar's Office for the sum of the fine, and the student shall pay the fine within 30 days. Failure to pay a fine will prevent the student from obtaining transcripts and registering for classes; however, if the student's financial position hinders the direct payment of the fine, and with the concurrence of the judicial adjudicator or the hearing officer, the student may substitute a work assignment. The following schedule of administrative fines applies to violations of The Student Code of Conduct and may frequently involve additional administrative sanctions or charges for the cost of equipment or damage repair, depending on the circumstances;
