Sanctions.

In addition to initiating discipline proceedings for violation of the student conduct code, the college may refer any violations of federal, state or local laws to civil and criminal authorities for disposition. The college shall proceed with student disciplinary proceedings regardless of whether the underlying conduct is subject to civil or criminal prosecution. In the case of minors, misconduct may be referred to parents or legal guardians.
More than one sanction may be imposed for any single violation as appropriate. Sanctions may include, but are not limited to:
(1) Disciplinary warning. A verbal statement to a student that there is a violation and that continued violation may be cause for further disciplinary action.
(2) Written reprimand. Notice in writing that the student has violated one or more terms of the 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 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 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. Notice will be made in writing, specifying the period of probation and the conditions of the probation. Probation may be for a limited period of time, or may be for the duration of the student's attendance at the college. A student who is on disciplinary probation 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.
(4) 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.
(5) Disciplinary suspension. Dismissal from the college and termination from 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. Access may be denied to all or part of college facilities.
(6) Professional evaluation. Referral for drug, alcohol, psychological or medical evaluation (at the student's expense) 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 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.
(7) Discretionary sanctions. These may include but are not limited to: Work assignments, service to college or community, class/workshop attendance or other discretionary assignments such as educational interventions intended as learning experiences.
(8) Loss of recognition. A student organization's recognition may be withheld permanently or for a specific period of time. Loss of recognition is defined as withholding college services or administrative approval for a student organization. Support may be withdrawn for use of information technology resources, funding, college facility use and rental and involvement in organizational activities.
(9) Loss of privileges. Loss of specific college privileges for a specified period of time. These may include but are not limited to student activities, athletic events, drama or music performances, or club participation.
(10) No contact. Restriction from entering specific college areas and/or all forms of contact with certain person(s).
(11) No trespass. A student may be prohibited from entering upon or remaining upon college facilities and premises.
(12) Revocation of admission or degree. Admission to or a degree awarded from the college may be revoked for fraud, misrepresentation or for other serious violations committed by a student.
(13) 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. There will be no refund of tuition or fees for the quarter in which the action is taken.
