Disciplinary sanctions—Conditions.
The following disciplinary sanctions may be imposed upon students found to have violated the student conduct code. Depending upon the misconduct, more than one sanction may be imposed. Other than college dismissal or revocation or withholding of a degree, disciplinary sanctions are not made part of the student's academic record, but are part of the student's disciplinary record. Violation of any disciplinary sanction or condition constitutes a new violation and may subject the student to additional sanctions and/or conditions.
(1) Disciplinary warning. A verbal statement to a student that there is a violation and that continued violations may be cause for further disciplinary action.
(2) Written reprimand. Notice in writing that the student has violated one or more terms of this code of conduct and that continuation of the same or similar behavior may result in more severe disciplinary action.
(3) Disciplinary probation. Formal action placing specific conditions and restrictions upon the student's continued attendance depending upon the seriousness of the violation and which may include a deferred disciplinary sanction.
(a) If the student subject to a deferred disciplinary sanction is found in violation of any college rule during the time of disciplinary probation, the deferred disciplinary sanction, which may include, but is not limited to, a suspension or a dismissal from the college, shall take effect immediately without further review. Any such sanction shall be in addition to any sanction or conditions arising from the new violation.
(b) Probation may be for a limited period of time or may be for the duration of the student's attendance at the college.
(4) Disciplinary suspension. Separation from the college and from the student status for a stated period of time. There will be no refund of tuition or fees for the quarter in which the action is taken.
(5) Dismissal. The revocation of all rights and privileges of membership in the college community and exclusion from all college campuses and college-owned or controlled premises without any possibility of return. There will be no refund of tuition or fees for the quarter in which the action is taken.
Disciplinary terms and conditions that may be imposed in conjunction with the imposition of a disciplinary sanction include, but are not limited to, the following:
(6) Educational sanction. The college may require the student to complete an educational activity or experience directly related to the violation committed, at the student's expense.
(7) Professional evaluation. Referral for drug, alcohol, psychological, or medical evaluation by an appropriately certified or licensed professional may be required. The student may choose the professional within the scope of practice and with the professional credentials as defined by the college. The student will sign all necessary releases to allow the college access to any such evaluation. The student's return to college may be conditioned upon compliance with recommendations set forth in such a professional evaluation. If the evaluation indicates that the student is not capable of functioning within the college community, the student will remain suspended until future evaluation recommends that the student is capable of reentering the college and complying with the rules of conduct.
(8) Not in good standing. A student may be deemed "not in good standing" with the college. If so, the student shall be subject to the following restrictions:
(a) Ineligible to hold an office in any student organization recognized by the college or to hold any elected or appointed office of the college.
(b) Ineligible to represent the college to anyone outside the college community in any way, including representing the college at any official function, or any forms of intercollegiate competition or representation.
(9) Restitution or monetary fine. Reimbursement for damage to or misappropriation of property, or for injury to persons, or for reasonable costs incurred by the college in pursuing an investigation or disciplinary proceeding. This may take the form of monetary reimbursement, appropriate service, monetary fine, or other compensation.
(10) Hold on transcript or registration. This is a temporary measure restricting release of a student's transcript or access to registration. Upon satisfactory completion of the conditions of the sanction, the hold will be released.
(11) Revocation of admission or degree. Admission to or a degree awarded from the college may be revoked for fraud, misrepresentation, or other violation of standards of conduct for students in obtaining the degree, or for other serious violations committed by a student prior to graduation.
(12) Withholding degree. The college may withhold awarding a degree otherwise earned until the completion of the process set forth in this chapter, including the completion of all sanctions imposed.
(13) No trespass order. A student may be restricted from college property based on misconduct.
(14) No contact order. An order directing a student to have no contact with a specified member of the college community, visitor, or a particular college facility.
