Disciplinary penalties include:

- Final expulsion from the university, with the decision communicated to other universities.
The university council may reconsider the decision of final expulsion after at least three years from the date of the decision.
No penalty mentioned in paragraph five and beyond of Article 126 shall be imposed without an investigation with the student in writing and hearing their statements regarding the alleged misconduct. If the student fails to attend the scheduled investigation, their right to present their statements is forfeited, and the investigation will be conducted by the faculty dean's appointed investigator. A faculty member appointed to investigate a student's misconduct cannot be a member of the disciplinary council.
Decisions issued by the competent bodies imposing disciplinary penalties, according to Article 127, are final.
However, opposition to a decision issued in absentia by the disciplinary council is allowed within one week of its announcement to the student or their guardian. The decision is considered attended if the student's presence is requested and communicated to the student or their guardian. If the student fails to attend without a valid excuse, their right to appeal is forfeited.
Appeal against a decision issued by the student disciplinary council can only be made through an appeal. The appeal, submitted in writing by the student to the university president, must be filed within fifteen days from the date of notification of the decision. The request must be forwarded to the higher disciplinary council within fifteen days.
The competent bodies for imposing penalties are:
- Professors and assistant professors: They can impose the first four penalties for students' misconduct during classes, lectures, and various university activities.
- College Dean: They can impose the first eight penalties. In case of disturbance or violation of the rules causing or threatening to disrupt the study or exams, the dean has the authority to impose all penalties. However, the matter must be presented to the disciplinary council within two weeks of the penalty's imposition if the penalties involve final expulsion from the university, and to the university president for other penalties, for review, whether to uphold, cancel, or modify the penalty.
- University President: They can impose all penalties except the final penalty after consulting the college dean. They can also prevent the student referred to the disciplinary council from entering the university until the scheduled trial date.
- Disciplinary Council: They can impose all penalties.
The decision to refer students to the disciplinary council is made by the university president spontaneously or upon the dean's request.
The student disciplinary council is formed as follows:
- College Dean.
- College Vice Dean.
- Oldest faculty members. The highest disciplinary council is formed by:
- The university's vice president for education and student affairs as the chair.
- The dean of the Faculty of Law or one of its professors.
- A professor from the faculty to which the student belongs.
The selection of council members is made by a decision of the university president.
