Disciplinary sanctions terms and conditions.
(1) The following disciplinary sanctions may be imposed upon students found to have violated the student conduct code.
(a) Disciplinary warning. A verbal statement to a student that there is a violation, and that continued violation may be cause for further disciplinary action. This sanction is not subject to appeal.
(b) Written reprimand. Notice in writing that the student has violated one or more terms of this code of conduct and that continuation or repetition of the same or similar may result in more severe disciplinary action. This sanction is not subject to appeal.
(c) 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. 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(s) or conditions arising from the new violation. Probation may be for a limited period of time or may be for the duration of the student's attendance at the college.
(d) Summary suspension. Immediate exclusion from classes and other privileges or activities in accordance with this code.
(e) Disciplinary suspension. Dismissal 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.
(f) Deferred suspension. Notice of suspension from the college with the provision that the student may remain enrolled contingent on meeting any condition(s) specified. Not meeting the contingency shall immediately invoke a suspension for the period of time and under the conditions originally imposed.
(g) Dismissal. The revocation of all rights and privileges of membership in the college community and exclusion from the campus and college-owned or controlled facilities without any possibility of return except as outlined in WAC 495B-121-340. There will be no refund of tuition or fees for the quarter in which the action is taken.
(2) Disciplinary terms and conditions that may be imposed alone or in conjunction with the imposition of a disciplinary sanction(s) include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) Educational sanction. Participation in or successful completion of an educational assignment designed to create an awareness of the student's misconduct.
(b) Restitution. 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, or other compensation.
(c) 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, which may also include mandatory attendance at educational programs, courses, or other assignments. 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.
(d) Not in good standing. A student may be deemed "not in good standing" with the college. If so, that student shall be subject to the following restrictions:
(i) Ineligible to hold any office in any student organization recognized by the college or to hold any elected or appointed office of the college.
(ii) 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.
(e) No trespass order. A student may be restricted from college property based on their misconduct.
(f) No contact order. An order directing a student to have no contact with a specified student, college employee, a member of the college community, or a particular college facility.
