Student Conduct Charges

Faculty members have ultimate control over classroom behavior and may remove any student who is engaged in disruptive conduct for that class period with/ without issuing a Student Misconduct Report. Faculty members are encouraged to discuss the situation with the student and the department head. For repetitive violations, a Student Misconduct Report should be filed.

Any member of the College may file a Student Misconduct Report for any student who violates College policy or who is behaving in a disruptive manner. Charges of misconduct shall be prepared in writing and directed to the Vice President of Academic & Student Affairs within one (1) day of the violation.

The Vice President will conduct an investigation of the charges. As with any disciplinary matter, a student will be afforded due process rights. Based on the findings of the investigation, the Vice President may take any one of the following actions:

1. Dismiss the charge for lack of merit
2. Issue a warning notice in writing
3. Remove the student from one (1) or more class periods
4. Deny specified privileges for a designated period of time

7. Impose discretionary sanctions; work assignments, service to the college or other related discretionary assignments
8. Place the student on temporary suspension or long-term suspension from the College for up to 365 days
