Sanctions

A. Process

1. The following sanctions may be imposed upon any student found to have violated the Student Disciplinary Code.

   1. Warning: A notice in writing to the student that the student is violating or has violated institutional regulations.
   2. Probation: A written reprimand for violation of specified regulations. Probation is for a designated period of time and includes the probability of more severe disciplinary sanctions if the student is found to be violating any institutional regulation(s) during the probationary period.
   3. Loss of Privileges: Denial of specified privileges for a designated period of time.
   4. Attendance at educational/counseling sessions related to reason for disciplinary action, i.e. alcohol/drug abuse resistance education, anger management training, etc., at the offender’s expense.
   5. Fines, in addition to any restitution imposed:

      - $50 for first violations of any kind

      - $100 for second violations of any kind

      - Higher fines may be levied at the discretion of the Dean of Students

   6. Restitution: Compensation for loss, damage or injury. This may take the form of appropriate service and/or monetary or material replacement.
   7. Discretionary Sanctions: Work assignments, service to the College or other related discretionary assignments (such assignments must have the prior approval of the Dean of Students).

Upon graduation, the student’s confidential record may be expunged of disciplinary actions other than housing expulsion, College suspension or College expulsion, upon application to the Vice President for Student Affairs. Cases involving the imposition of sanctions other than housing expulsion, College suspension or College expulsion shall be expunged from the student’s confidential record three years after final disposition of the case.

In each case in which the Student Grievance Committee determines that a student has violated the Student Disciplinary Code, the Student Grievance Committee shall recommend the sanction(s), and the Vice President for Student Affairs or designee will impose them. The Vice President for Student Affairs or designee is not limited to sanctions recommended by members of the Student Grievance Committee. Following the hearing, the Student Grievance Committee and the Vice President for Student Affairs or designee shall advise the accused in writing of its determination and of the sanction(s) imposed, if any.
