WAC 132M-121-105   Sanctions.  Sanctions for violations of the code of conduct may be imposed independent of any action taken by civil authorities. In the case of minors, misconduct may be referred to parents or legal guardians.

     Any of the following disciplinary sanctions may be imposed for violations of one or more provisions of this student code of conduct:

     (1) Warning: An oral or written notice to a student that college expectations about conduct have not been met.

     (2) Reprimand: A written notice, designated as a reprimand, which censures a student for improper conduct and includes a warning that continuation or repetition of improper conduct may result in other, further discipline.

     (3) 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.

     (4) Suspension or dismissal: Written termination of status as a student at the college, for a period of time that is limited (suspension) or indefinite or open-ended (dismissal). The written notice shall indicate any condition(s) for readmission, and that written application for readmission must be made to the vice-president for student success. Upon receipt of such an application, with justification deemed adequate by the vice-president for student success, the student may be readmitted. No fees will be refunded for the quarter in which the action is taken.

     (5) Monetary fine or restitution: A written order, alone or combined with another disciplinary action, requiring the student to pay, within a stated time limit, appropriate restitution for a financial loss caused by the student's misconduct and/or a monetary fine not exceeding one quarter's tuition. Failure to pay shall be cause for further disciplinary action and/or canceling and barring the student's registration and/or withholding a degree.
