More than 600 students at the University of Alabama and multiple student organizations have received university sanctions for breaking COVID-19 protocol at the school. 

The school has issued 639 “individual student sanctions” related to violations of the school’s COVID-19 guidelines as of Sept. 8. Of those cases, 33 students have been issued “interim measures, effectively suspending them from campus while their conduct cases proceed through due process,” the school said in a statement to The Hill.

“Student suspensions could range in length depending on the severity of the conduct. Any speculation about refunds for these students is premature,” the statement said. 

Three student organizations have also received sanctions, and another group is pending suspension. The school did not state what specific incidents led to the sanctions.

The school has documented more than 1,800 COVID-19 cases among students since Aug. 19, according to the university dashboard.
