Policy Procedure and Sanctions
Any staff, administrative official, faculty member, or student may file a written complaint against any student for misconduct by using the Report of Student Misconduct Form.
Informal Process
If the nature of the allegations does not justify sanctions that would affect the student’s right to an education, informal resolution of the issue prior to beginning the formal process is encouraged. Informal resolution should start with conversations and may include an informal warning letter that continued actions will lead to a more formal allegation.
Investigation
The Student Conduct Officer (or designee) will initiate an investigation into the charges. If the Student Conduct Officer believes that the alleged violation presents an immediate danger to the college community, the issue will be immediately referred to the Care/Threat Assessment Team. Please see the Care/Threat Assessment Process in the next section.
If not referred to the Care/Threat Assessment Team, the accused student will be contacted by the Student Conduct Officer (or designee) via student email to schedule a meeting time to discuss the alleged violation. The discussion will include the nature and sources of the charges and the student’s rights and responsibilities.
As part of the review, the Student Conduct Officer (or designee) will determine if the nature of the allegations justifies a sanction that affects the student’s right to an education. If so, the alleged violations will be referred to the Student Conduct Committee.
If the nature of the allegations does not justify sanctions that would affect the student’s right to an education, the Student Conduct Officer has the option to impose a disciplinary sanction, refer the matter to the Student Conduct Committee, or dismiss the charges as unfounded. The student will be notified of the decision in writing, via student email within ten business days of the initial meeting between theStudent Conduct Officer and the student.
Throughout the Investigation, the student may continue to attend classes, unless the Student Conduct Officer determines that the student’s continued presence poses a significant disruption to the educational rights of other students. In that case, the Student Conduct Officer may place an interim suspension on the student pending an investigation and resolution of the formal complaint. If immediate suspension is determined, the Student Conduct Officer will notify the student in writing of the specific facts and circumstances that make the immediate suspension necessary.
Disciplinary Sanctions
Administrative actions available to the Student Conduct Officer are as follows:
- Warning
- Restitution for damages
- Exclusion from college extracurricular activities

Student Conduct Committee Procedure
Charges that have not been dismissed or have not received a sanction from the Student Conduct Officer (or designee) will be referred to the Student Conduct Committee. The Student Conduct Committee procedure, outlined at the end of this section, will then be followed. If there are pending criminal charges associated with the misconduct charge, the Student Conduct Committee procedure may begin after the criminal charges are resolved.
