b. If the student behavior persists and the Dean/Supervisor feels the student may be in violation of the Student Code of Conduct, the Dean/Supervisor should submit a Student Conduct Report on MyCVTC. The report is routed to the Student Conduct Office and a formal investigation will begin to determine if a Code of Conduct violation has occurred.
3. Students who use alcohol and/or other drugs while on CVTC property may be required to leave for the remainder of the day. Such incidents should be reported to the Public Safety Office. The Vice President of Student Services or designee will report this temporary suspension to the Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs and appropriate dean (see also Alcohol and Drug Policy for Employees and Students).

Emergency Interim Withdrawal
The College reserves the right to request or require a student to withdraw from the College when the student's presence is a direct threat of harm to themselves or others. In addition, when a student's presence significantly disrupts the ability of other students, faculty, or staff to participate in the educational programs or employment opportunities offered by the College, emergency withdrawal may occur. This policy does not supplant any academic performance or discipline-based withdrawal, or dismissal policies maintained by academic units. If a student's presence poses an immediate and direct threat to themselves or others, the Vice President of Student Services or designee may withdraw the student or restrict the student's access to the College campuses, services, and activities, as appropriate, for an interim period before a final determination of the matter.
