     (1) Disciplinary warning. Constitutes oral or written notice of violation of college rules and regulations.

     (2) Disciplinary probation. Formal action placing conditions upon the student's continued attendance. Notice will be made in writing, specifying the period of probation and the conditions of the probation. As a condition of probation, the college may specify that it will impose more severe disciplinary sanctions against the student if the student is found to have violated any standards of conduct for students during the probationary period.

     (3) Restitution. Compensation for loss, damage, or injury to the appropriate party in the form of service, money, or material replacement.

     (4) Discretionary sanctions. These may include but are not limited to: Work assignments, service to college or community, class/workshop attendance or other discretionary assignments such as educational interventions intended as learning experiences.

     (6) Education. The college may require the student to complete an educational project or attend sessions, at the student's expense, which address the student's conduct such as anger management or counseling.

     (7) Loss of recognition. A student organization's recognition may be withheld permanently or for a specific period of time. Loss of recognition is defined as withholding college services or administrative approval for a student organization.
