Types of Disciplinary Action
The District may impose discipline for the commission, or attempted commission, of the following types of violations by Students, or for aiding or abetting, inciting, conspiring, assisting, hiring or encouraging another person to engage in a violation of this Standards of Student Conduct, or for any violation of state or Federal law. Being under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, or the existence of other psychological impairment does not excuse a violation of this Standards of Student Conduct.
A. Disciplinary Action
1. REPRIMAND: A verbal or written reprimand regarding the misconduct.
2. PROBATION: Student conduct probation may include, but is not limited to, ineligibility to participate in extra-curricular activities and certain other student privileges.
3. SUSPENSION: Exclusion from the colleges and college- sponsored activities for a specified time.
4. EXPULSION: Exclusion by the District Board of Trustees from the college and all college-sponsored activities.
5. OTHER: Including short term and long tern removal from class, restriction, restitution, referrals, and other educational sanctions.
B. Disciplinary Procedures
Students are entitled to a fundamentally fair process, including reasonable notice of allegations of violations of the Standards of Student Conduct, the opportunity for the Student to be heard and to afford the Student the opportunity to present evidence prior to the administrative determination of the alleged violations.
The District reserves the right to make immediate interim suspensions or restrictions when such actions are deemed necessary by the College Conduct Officer or designee pending an investigation and determination of the matter. Any sanction(s) imposed under the Standards of Student Conduct shall be appropriate to the nature of the violation(s).
Student Discipline Code proceedings are administrative in nature and are independent from court or other administrative proceedings. Discipline may be instituted against a Student also charged in civil or criminal courts based on the same facts that constitute the alleged violation of the Standards of Student Conduct. The District may elect to proceed before, concurrently with, or after any judicial or other administrative proceedings.
