(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.
