Current through Register Vol. 24-24, December 15, 2024

The following disciplinary actions against a student are authorized, and the definitions set forth in this section apply throughout this chapter:

(1) Verbal warning means oral notice of violation of college rules.

(2) Reprimand means formal action censuring a student for violation of college rules for failure to satisfy the college's expectations regarding conduct. Reprimands are made in writing to the student. A reprimand indicates to the student that continuation or repetition of the specific conduct involved or other misconduct will result in one or more serious disciplinary actions described below.

(3) Disciplinary probation means formal action placing conditions upon the student's continued attendance because of violation of college rules or failure to satisfy the college's expectations regarding conduct. The disciplinary official placing the student on probation will specify, in writing, the period of probation and its conditions. Disciplinary probation warns the student that any further misconduct will automatically raise the question of expulsion from the college. Disciplinary probation may be for a specified term or for an indefinite period which may extend to graduation or other termination of the student's enrollment in the college.

(4) Summary suspension means temporary dismissal from the college and temporary termination of a student's status for a period of time not to exceed ten days due to a necessity to take immediate disciplinary action where a student presents an imminent danger to college property, or to himself or herself or other students or persons in college facilities or off campus, or to the educational process of the college.

(5) Suspension means temporary dismissal from the college and temporary termination of student status, other than summary suspension, for a specified period of time.

(6) Expulsion means dismissal from the college and termination of student status for an indefinite period of time or permanently.

(7) Monetary fine or restitution means a written order, alone or combined with another disciplinary action, requiring the student to pay, within a stated time limit, appropriate restitution for a financial loss caused by the student's misconduct and/or monetary fine not exceeding one quarter's tuition. Failure to pay shall be cause for further disciplinary action and/or cancelling and barring the student's registration.
