It is without an arrest, they notify the parents that their kids are going before the judicial review board (basically an internal student court). The review board can vote to suspend, expell, or put the student on probation depending on the activity.
Usually only the most serious offences are sent to the real cops (such as drug dealing, manufacturing fake IDs, etc). But if you were caught with beer in your fridge during a room inspection, then you were written up, sent to Judicial review, and Mommy and Daddy recieved a letter stating that Johnny or Suzy had been very very bad.
