Section 132S-100-440 - [Effective 12/19/2024] Corrective action, disciplinary sanctions, terms and conditions(1) One or more of the following corrective actions or disciplinary sanctions may be imposed upon a student or upon college-sponsored student organizations, athletic teams, or living groups found responsible for violating the student code of conduct. (a) Warning - A verbal or written statement to a student that there is a violation and that continued violation may be cause for disciplinary action. Warnings are corrective actions, not disciplinary, and may not be appealed.(b) Written reprimand - Notice in writing that the student has violated one or more terms of the student code of conduct and that continuation of the same or similar behavior may result in more severe disciplinary action.(c) Disciplinary probation - Formal action placing specific conditions and restrictions upon the student's continued attendance depending upon the seriousness of the violation and which may include a deferred disciplinary sanction. If the student subject to a deferred disciplinary sanction is found in violation of any college rule during the time of disciplinary probation, the deferred disciplinary sanction, which may include, but is not limited to, a suspension or a dismissal from the college, shall take effect immediately without further review. Any such sanction shall be in addition to any sanction or conditions arising from the new violation. Probation may be for a limited period of time or may be for the duration of the student's attendance at the college.(d) Disciplinary suspension - Dismissal from the college and from student status for a stated period of time. There will be no refund of tuition or fees for the quarter in which the suspension is imposed.(e) Dismissal - The revocation of all rights and privileges of membership in the college community and exclusion from the campus and college-owned or controlled facilities without any possibility of return. There will be no refund of tuition or fees for the quarter in which the dismissal is imposed.(2) Disciplinary terms and conditions that may be imposed or in conjunction with the imposition of a disciplinary sanction include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) Education - Participation in or successful completion of an educational assignment designed to create an awareness of the student's misconduct.(b) Loss of privileges - Denial of specified privileges for a designated period of time.(c) Not in good standing - A student deemed "not in good standing" with the college shall be subject to the following restrictions:(i) Ineligible to hold an office in any student organization recognized by the college or to hold any elected or appointed office of the college.(ii) Ineligible to represent the college to anyone outside the college community in any way, including representing the college at any official function, or any forms of intercollegiate competition or representation.(d) No contact directive - An order directing a student to have no contact with a specified student, college employee, a member of the college community, or a particular college facility.(e) Professional evaluation - Referral for drug, alcohol, psychological, or medical evaluation by an appropriate certified or licensed professional may be required. The student may choose the professional within the scope of practice and with the professional credentials as defined by the college. The student will sign all necessary releases to allow the college access to any such evaluation. The student's return to college may be conditioned upon compliance with recommendations set forth in such a professional evaluation. If the evaluation indicates that the student is not capable of functioning within the college community, the student will remain suspended until future evaluation recommends that the student is capable of reentering the college and complying with the rules of conduct.(f) Restitution - Reimbursement for damage to or misappropriation of property, or for injury to person, or for reasonable costs incurred by the college in pursuing an investigation or disciplinary proceeding. This may take the form of monetary reimbursement, appropriate service, or other compensation.(g) Trespass or restriction - A student may be restricted from any or all college premises and/or college-sponsored activities based on the violation.(h) Residence hall suspension or termination - Removal from a residence hall for a specified period or permanently. Conditions may be imposed before a student is permitted to return to a residence hall.(3) More than one of the disciplinary terms and conditions listed above may be imposed for any single violation.(4) If a student withdraws from the college or fails to reenroll before completing a disciplinary sanction or condition, the disciplinary sanction must be completed either prior to or upon the student's reenrollment, depending on the nature of the sanction, condition, and/or the underlying violation. Completion of disciplinary sanction and conditions may be considered in petitions for readmission to the college.Wash. Admin. Code § 132S-100-440
