Overview
The President, Vice President of Student Success, Vice President of Workforce Development, designated student conduct officer, or Student Conduct Appeals Panel are responsible for implementing student discipline procedures for nonacademic violations.
These procedures apply to non-academic violations defined in Policy 5.3.2 - Student Code of Conduct. For academic-related violations, see Procedure 5.3.2.1 - Discipline and Appeal for Academic Violations. For issues regarding sexual harassment and sexual violence, see Policy 5.3.5 - Sexual Misconduct and Title IX and for issues related to other forms of unlawful discrimination, see Policy 5.3.4 - Students - Discrimination and Harassment.
Sanctions for Violations
The following sanctions may be imposed for non-academic violations:
- Oral Warning. A verbal censure of a student and a warning that subsequent violations are likely to result in heavier sanctions.
- Letter of Warning. A written communication that gives official notice to the student that any further disciplinary offense will carry heavier penalties because of this prior infraction.
- Educational and Community Service Sanctions. Activities intended to improve a student’s ability to function within the range of expected conduct within the College community. Examples include but are not limited to performing a specified number of community service or college service hours, writing a reflection paper relevant to the circumstances of the violation, assignment of specified counseling, agreement to a behavioral contract, or assignment of a no-contact order.
- Disciplinary Probation. Disciplinary probation results in loss of good standing and becomes a matter of record. While on disciplinary probation, the student will not be eligible for initiation into any local or national organization and shall not receive any College award or other honorary recognition. The student may not occupy a position of leadership or responsibility with any College or student organization, publication, or activity. This sanction prohibits the student from officially representing the College or participating in any extracurricular activities including intramural competitions. Disciplinary probation will be in effect for not more than two (2) regular semesters including the current semester, and any intervening summer session. Any further disciplinary offenses while under disciplinary probation may result in the student’s immediate suspension.
- Restitution. Paying for damaging, misusing, destroying, or losing property belonging to the College, College employees, or students. Restitution may take the form of financial payment or appropriate service to repair or otherwise compensate for such damages.
- Withholding Academic Records and/or the Right to Register. Withholding transcripts, diplomas, or the right to register or participate in graduation ceremonies is imposed when a student’s financial obligations are not met or the student has a disciplinary case pending final disposition.
