When students are brought to the Department of University Police in association with a crime which is also a violation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/student-policy\/\">Code of Student Conduct<\/a>, they will be referred to the dean of student life and may also have criminal charges brought against them.

The Department of University Police will also monitor off-campus activities of student organizations.
