Non-Academic Sanctions

1. Counseling Intervention/Warning: The student will receive counseling and verbal or written communication that gives official notice that any subsequent offense of the Student Code of Conduct will result in heavier penalties. This sanction has two important implications: (1) the individual is given a chance to show capability and willingness to observe the Student Code of Conduct without further penalty; and (2) if the individual errs again, further action will be taken. This sanction will remain in effect for no more than two semesters of the student’s attendance.
2. Restrictive Probation: Restrictive probation results in the loss of good standing and becomes a matter of record. Restrictive conditions may limit the student’s activity within the College community. Generally, the student will not be eligible for initiation into any local, state, or national organization and may not receive any College award or honorary recognition. The individual may not occupy a position of leadership or responsibility with any College or student organization, publication, or activity. This sanction will remain in effect for no more than two semesters of the student’s attendance.
3. Suspension: The student is dismissed from campus (and is not allowed to participate in any courses including distance education delivery) for a minimum of one semester to a maximum of one full academic year (three (3) semesters). This sanction is reserved for those offenses warranting discipline more severe than reprimands or for repeated misconduct. Students who are suspended from the College must submit a written request for readmission to the Dean of Student Services and obtain written permission before returning to the campus. Failure to secure permission prior to returning to campus may result in arrest for trespassing.
4. Expulsion: The student is dismissed from campus (and is not allowed to participate in any courses including distance education delivery) for an indefinite period and loses student status.

All of the above sanctions may be imposed on a College club or other organized group for a specified period of time. If group violations are repeated during the term of the sentence, the group’s affiliation with the College may be revoked or activities restricted.

Other Sanctions

1. Restitution: The student is required to pay for damaging, misusing, destroying, or losing property belonging to the College, College personnel, or other students.
2. Financial Obligation: The College has the right to withhold transcripts, diplomas, or the right to register or participate in graduation ceremonies.
