Disciplinary Action
Student conduct on campus and at all campus-sponsored activities is governed by the rules of the community. Violations of federal, state and local laws at any college-sponsored activity, on or off campus, will be considered a violation of the Student Conduct Code and violators will be subject to disciplinary action. College policy, evidenced through the Student Conduct Code, specifies that acts of social misconduct should be reported to appropriate college officials or civil authorities.
In addition to criminal action taken by civil authorities on behalf of the victim, the college may impose the following sanctions upon the offender:
- Disciplinary reprimand
- Assessment of restitution
- Probation
- Social probation
- Suspension
- Expulsion
- Separation or Restrictions
Students who feel threatened or intimidated, who are harmed, or who observe violations of the Student Conduct Code may report the incident as appropriate:
- For academic matters: To the instructor, coordinator/department head, or dean.
- For matters of safety or security: To the DPS or campus administrative office. Examples include, but are not limited to: criminal acts or social misconduct such as sexual assault, physical abuse, direct threat of violence, harassment, and intimidation or behavior representing a danger to others.
- In general: To an administrator, faculty member, or staff member for assistance and referral.
