     (3) The vice-president for marketing and student development, or designee, after meeting or attempting to meet with the student to advise of the potential violation and penalties, may issue a warning or reprimand or take any of the following disciplinary actions against a student, for causes other than cheating or classroom misconduct:

     (a) Probation: A written statement placing specific conditions upon the student's continued attendance at the college, for a stated period of time not exceeding termination of the student's enrollment. Violation of any such condition shall be cause for further disciplinary action;
