Institutional Sanctions
Significant mitigating or aggravating factors will be considered when sanctions are imposed, including present demeanor and past disciplinary record of the offender, as well as the nature of the offense, and the severity of any damage, injury or harm resulting from it. In addition to discretionary sanctions, the following are possible institutional sanctions in order of greater severity:
- Letter of warning.
- Restitution of property or personal relationships with others, denial of certain privileges, or restriction of activities.
- Disciplinary probation: Prohibits the student from representing the college or participating in student activities. Probation also subjects the student to immediate suspension if found in violation of another offense during the period of probation.
- Suspension: Exclusion from college premises, and other privileges or activities, as set forth in the suspension notice.
- Expulsion: Permanent termination of student status, and exclusion from college premises, privileges and activities.
Discretionary sanctions include, but are not limited to, work assignments, essays, service to the college, mandated counseling, workshop attendance, and/or behavioral contracts and monitoring or related activities.
Commentary:
Students who are members of athletic teams, work study programs, the Silas Craft Collegians pr ogram, Rouse Scholars program, or other learning communities at the college may be subject to additional disciplinary action as set forth by the rules of those organizations. These organizations will be informed of any infractions.
