Institutional Sanctions
Significant mitigating or aggravating factors will be considered when sanctions are imposed, including present demeanor and past disciplinary record of the respondent, as well as the nature of the offense, and the severity of any damage, injury, or harm resulting from it. The following are examples of institutional sanctions. More than one institutional sanction may be imposed for any single violation:

- Discretionary sanctions: Including, but not limited to, work assignments, essays, service to the college, mandated assessment and/or counseling, workshop attendance, behavioral contracts, and monitoring or related 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.
- Administrative withdrawal from course(s): Student is withdrawn from the course(s) where the violation occurred for the remainder of the academic term.
- Suspension: Exclusion from college premises, and other privileges or activities, as set forth in the suspension notice.
