WAC 132Z-115-020   Jurisdiction and authority for student discipline.  All rules in this chapter concerning student rights and responsibilities, conduct and discipline apply to every student enrolled at the college whenever the student is engaged in or present at a college-related activity whether occurring on or off college facilities, and to an enrolled student whose behavior is detrimental to the college wherever occurring.

     The board of trustees, acting pursuant to RCW 28B.50.140(14), has delegated by written order to the president of the college the authority to administer disciplinary action. Pursuant to this authority, the president, or designee, shall be responsible for the administration of the disciplinary procedures provided for herein. However, all disciplinary action in which there is a recommendation that a student be suspended shall be reviewed by the president or his/her designee.

     Jurisdiction and authority for discipline of students registered through the Washington on-line virtual campus will rest with the enrolling college; however, administrators and faculty of the teaching college and/or Washington on-line virtual campus staff may be included in investigations prior to final decisions regarding a discipline situation. All appeals will be handled according to the policies of the enrolling college.
