Withdrawal from Berklee With Charges Pending

If a student respondent withdraws from Berklee while an investigation under this policy is pending, and before any findings have been made, the responding party’s transcript will reflect that the student withdrew pending an investigation of disciplinary charges. If a student respondent withdraws after an investigation found that person responsible for violating the policy, but before a sanction was implemented, the student’s transcript will reflect that the student withdrew pending disciplinary sanctions. Should a student decide to withdraw and not participate in the investigation, Berklee may opt to proceed without the student to a reasonable resolution and the student will not be permitted to return to Berklee unless all sanctions have been satisfied.

Should an employee respondent decide to resign or otherwise leave the College and not participate in the investigation, Berklee may opt to proceed with the investigation without the employee to a reasonable resolution and the employee may not be permitted to reapply for employment or to otherwise participate in the Berklee community if a policy violation is found or if the investigation is impeded or impossible due to the employee’s lack of participation.
