TYPES OF DISIPLINARY ACTION
Decisions regarding the following types of disciplinary action are the responsibility of the Dean of Enrollment Services. Unless the immediate application of disciplinary action is essential, such action will not be taken until the established appeal procedures found in Rules and Regulations, Section 7.73, have been completed.

WARNING - A faculty or staff member may give notice to a student that continuation or repetition of specified conduct may be cause for further disciplinary action.

TEMPORARY EXCLUSION - A faculty or staff member may remove a student who is in violation of the guidelines for student conduct for the duration of the class period or activity during which the violation took place and, if deemed necessary, for the day following. The professor shall immediately report such removal to the College President or his/her designee for appropriate action.

CENSURE - The Vice President of Student Services or designee may verbally reprimand a student or may place on record a written statement that details how a student’s conduct violates a District or College regulation. The student receiving such a verbal or written statement shall be notified that such continued conduct or further violation of District/College rules may result in further disciplinary action.

CANCELLATION OF REGISTRATION - The Vice President of Student Services or a designee may cancel a student's registration in the event of falsification of educational and/or financial records and related documents or for failure to meet financial obligations to the District.

DISCIPLINARY PROBATION - The Vice President of Student Services or designee may place a student on disciplinary probation for a period not to exceed one semester. Repetition of the same action or other violations of District/College rules and regulations during the probationary period may be cause for suspension or expulsion. Disciplinary probation may include one or both of the following:

Removal from any or all College organizations or offices;
Denial of privileges of participating in any or all College or student sponsored activities.

RESTITUTION - The Vice President of Student Services or designee may require a student to reimburse the District for damage to or misappropriation of property. Restitution may take the form of appropriate service to repair or otherwise compensate for damages. Disciplinary action shall not of itself jeopardize a student's grades nor will the record of such action be maintained in the student's academic file. A student subject to disciplinary action has a right to appeal the decision in accordance with Rules and Regulations, Section 7.73.
