HWS Restorative Justice Program
Program Purpose
The program’s purpose is to focus on participants’ education, healthy decision making, rehabilitation to positively affect behaviors, encourage healthier lifestyles, and well-being of its participants. This program provides the UCR Police & Campus Safety (UCRPD) or Riverside District Attorney’s Office the ability to refer certain lower-level infractions, misdemeanor charges, incidents and behaviors that would otherwise result in citations, to the Health Well-Being & Safety Division for participation in the program. Successful program completion may lead to the removal of any history of the infraction from the student's criminal record. Not all misdemeanor violations are eligible for the program. Eligibility and suitability are determined by HWS and the Riverside DA.
UCR’s Restorative Justice & Diversion Program
"UCR’s Restorative Justice & Diversion Program provides students with the opportunity to have certain infractions (violations) and/or misdemeanor charges* dismissed upon successful completion of the program. The program is voluntary and is in lieu of prosecution in the criminal justice system."

What happens if I do not complete the program?
The case will be returned to the referring agency (UCR Police Department or District Attorney). The Diversion Program Director or Coordinator (proxy) may consider a request for an extension for good cause (for example, a student has difficulty accessing services or other compelling personal reasons which may be a barrier to program completion). These requests are not guaranteed and will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. However, in no event will the deadline to complete the developmental activities exceed a total of two academic quarters.
