If any student or student organization is found to have
				  committed any of the offenses described in WAC
				  172-121-300 through
				  172-121-324, one or more of the
				  sanctions described in this section may be imposed against the student or
				  student organization. Imposed sanctions are effective as of the date the CRO or
				  council issues its decision unless the decision specifically identifies an
				  alternative date. Failure to comply with any imposed sanction may result in

				  student is also an employee of the university, the university may impose
				  additional discipline in accordance with its policies and procedures pertaining
				  to employees.

Individual
				student sanctions:
(a) Admonition: An
				oral statement to a student that they have violated university rules and
				regulations.
(b) Warning: A notice
				to the student or student organization that they have violated the standards
				for student conduct and that any repeated or continuing violation of the same
				standard, within a specified period of time, may result in more severe
				disciplinary action. A warning may be verbal or written.
(c) Censure: A written reprimand for
				violation of specified regulations. A censure will also state that more severe
				disciplinary sanctions may be imposed if the student or student organization is
				found in violation of any regulation within a stated period of time.
(d) Disciplinary probation: A formal action
				which places one or more conditions, for a specified period of time, on the
				student's continued attendance. Disciplinary probation sanctions will be
				executed in writing and will specify the probationary conditions and the period
				of the probation. A disciplinary probation notice will also inform the student
				that any further misconduct will automatically involve consideration of
				suspension. Probationary conditions may include, but are not limited to:
(i) Restricting the student's
				university-related privileges;
(ii)
				Limiting the student's participation in extra-curricular activities;
				and/or
(iii) Enforcing a "no
				contact" order which would prohibit direct or indirect physical and/or verbal
				contact with specific individuals or groups.
(e) Restitution: Reimbursement to the
				university or others for damage, destruction, or other loss of property
				suffered as a result of theft or negligence. Restitution also includes
				reimbursement for medical expenses incurred due to conduct code violations.
				Restitution may take the form of appropriate service or other compensation.
				Failure to fulfill restitution requirements will result in cancellation of the
				student's registration and will prevent the student from future registration
				until restitution conditions are satisfied.
(f) Fines: The university conduct review
				officer and the student disciplinary council may assess monetary fines up to a
				maximum of $400 against individual students for violation of university rules
				or regulations or for failure to comply with university standards of conduct.
				Failure to promptly pay such fines will prevent the student from future
				registration. Failure to pay may also result in additional sanctions.
(g) Discretionary sanctions: Work
				assignments, service to the university community or other related discretionary
				assignments for a specified period of time as directed by the hearing
				authority.
(h) Loss of financial
				aid: In accordance with
				RCW
				   28B.10.902, a person who participates in the
				hazing of another forfeits entitlement to state-funded grants, scholarships or
				awards for a specified period of time determined by the university.
(i) Assessment: Referral for drug/alcohol or
				psychological assessment may be required. Results of the assessment may lead to
				the determination that conditions of treatment and further assessment apply to
				either continued attendance or return after a period of suspension.
(j) Suspension: Exclusion from classes and
				other privileges or activities for a specified period of time. Suspensions will
				be executed through a written order of suspension and will state all
				restrictions imposed by the suspension, as well as the suspension period and
				what conditions of readmission, if any, are ordered. Suspensions may be noted
				on the student's transcript during the period of time the suspension is in
				effect.
(k) Expulsion: Permanent
				separation of the student from the university with no promise (implied or
				otherwise) that the student may return at any future time. The student will
				also be barred from university premises. Expulsions may be noted on the
				student's transcript.
(l) Loss of
				institutional, financial aid funds: Formal withholding of all or a part of
				institutional funds currently being received by the student or promised for
				future disbursement to the student for a specified period of time. Loss of
				financial aid is subject to the processes outlined in this chapter except any
				such loss must be approved by the dean of students and the vice president for
				student affairs before such sanction is imposed.
(m) Revocation of degree: A degree awarded by
				the university may be revoked for fraud, misrepresentation, or other violation
				of law or university standards. Revocation of a degree is subject to processes
				outlined in this chapter except that revocation of a degree must also be
				approved by the university president.
