WAC 132P-33-240
Disciplinary sanctions. The following
definitions of disciplinary terms have been established and
shall be the sanctions imposed upon violators of the Code of
student rights and responsibilities:
(1) Warning. Notice to a student, either verbally or in
writing, that the student has been in violation of college
rules or regulations or has otherwise failed to meet the
college's standards of conduct. Such warnings will include
the statement that continuation or repetition of the specific
conduct involved or other misconduct will normally result in
one of the more serious disciplinary actions described below.
(2) Reprimand. Formal action censuring a student for
violation of the college rules or regulations or has otherwise
failed to meet the college's standards of conduct. Reprimands
shall be made in writing to the student by the officer of
agency taking action, with copies filed in the office of the
dean of students. A reprimand will include the statement that
continuation or repetition of the specific conduct involved or
other misconduct will normally result in one of the more
serious disciplinary actions described below.
(3) Fines. The dean of students and/or the student
hearing committee may assess monetary fines up to a maximum of
twenty-five dollars against individual students for violation
of college rules and regulations or for the failure to meet
the college's standards of conduct. Failure to pay such fines
within thirty days will result in suspension for an indefinite
period of time as set forth in subsection (6) of this section,
provided that a student may be reinstated upon payment of the
fine.
(4) Restitution. An individual student may be required
to make restitution for damage or loss to college or other
property and for injury to persons. Failure to make
restitution within thirty days will result in suspension for
an indefinite period of time as set forth in subsection (6) of
this section, provided that a student may be reinstated upon
payment.
(5) Disciplinary action. Formal action placing
conditions upon the student's continued attendance for
violation of college rules or regulations or other failure to
meet the college standards of conduct. The office or agency
placing the student on disciplinary probation or action will
specify, in writing, the period of probation or action and the
conditions, such as limiting the student's participation in
extra curricular activities, denial of admission to a specific
class, or other possible penalties. Disciplinary probation or
action warns the student that any further misconduct will
automatically raise the question of suspension from the
college. Disciplinary probation or action may be for a
specified term or for an indefinite period which may extend to
graduation or other termination of the student's enrollment in
the college.
(6) Suspension. Temporary or indefinite dismissal from
the college and termination of the student status of a student
for violation of college rules or regulations or for failure
to meet the college's standards of conduct. The notification
of suspending a student will indicate, in writing, the term of
the suspension and any special conditions which must be met
before readmission. Refund of fees for the quarter in which
disciplinary action is taken shall be in accord with the
college's refund policy. Students suspended on the basis of
conduct which disrupted the orderly operation of the campus or
any facility of the district may be denied access to all or
any part of the campus or other facility.
