Washington Administrative Code › Title 132Q - Spokane, Community Colleges of › Chapter 132Q-10 - Standards of conduct for students › Section 132Q-10-101 - Standards of conduct for students- Preamble

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Community Colleges of Spokane (CCS), a
			 multicollege district, provides its community and students with education and
			 services of the highest quality. We do this in a manner which exhibits concern
			 and sensitivity to students, faculty, staff and others who utilize our services
			 and facilities. It is essential that members of CCS exhibit appropriate and
			 conscientious behavior in dealing with others.
(2)CCS expects all students to conduct
			 themselves in a manner consistent with its high standards of scholarship and
			 conduct. Student conduct, which distracts from or interferes with
			 accomplishment of these purposes, is not acceptable. Students are expected to
			 comply with these standards of conduct for students both on and off campus and
			 acknowledge the college's authority to take disciplinary action.
(3)Admission to a college within CCS carries
			 with it the presumption that students will conduct themselves as responsible
			 members of the academic community. This includes an expectation that students
			 will obey the law, comply with policies, procedures and rules of the district,
			 the colleges and their departments, maintain a high standard of integrity and
			 honesty and respect the rights, privileges and property of other members of
			 CCS.
(4) Students are responsible
			 for their conduct. These standards of conduct for students promote CCS's
			 educational purposes and provide students a full understanding of their rights
			 and responsibilities. Sanctions for violations of the standards of conduct for
			 students will be administered under this chapter. When violations of laws of
			 the state of Washington and/or the United States are also involved, the college
			 may refer such matters to proper authorities and in the case of minors, this
			 conduct may be referred to parents or legal guardians consistent with the
			 provisions of FERPA.
(5)This
			 chapter, chapter 132Q-10 WAC, constitutes the Community Colleges of Spokane
			 standards of conduct for students. This chapter may also be referred to as the
			 CCS student code of conduct.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The standards of conduct for students apply to conduct that

				conduct that adversely affects CCS's educational environment and/or the pursuit
				of its objectives as set forth in its mission. Jurisdiction extends to
				locations in which students are engaged in of ficial college activities
				including, but not limited to, athletic events, activities funded by associated
				students, training internships, cooperative and distance education, online
				education, study abroad programs, practicums, supervised work experiences, any
				other college-sanctioned social or club activities, and/or foreign or domestic

			 Proceedings under these standards of conduct may be carried out prior to,
			 simultaneously with, or following civil or criminal proceedings at the
			 discretion of the chief student services officer. Determinations made or
			 sanctions imposed under these standards of conduct are not subject to change
			 because criminal charges were dismissed, reduced or resolved in favor of or
			 against the criminal law defendant. Students in this circumstance who remain
			 silent should recognize that they give up their opportunity to explain their
			 side of the story and that a decision will be made based on the information
			 presented.
(2) When a student is
			 charged by federal, state or local authorities with a violation of law, the
			 college does not request or agree to special consideration for that student
			 because he or she is a student. If the alleged offense also is being processed
			 under the standards of conduct for students, the college may advise off-campus
			 authorities of the existence of the standards and of how such matters are
			 typically handled within CCS. The college cooperates with law enforcement and
			 other agencies in the enforcement of criminal law on campus and in the
			 conditions imposed by criminal courts for the rehabilitation of student
			 violators provided that the conditions do not conflict with college rules or
			 sanctions. Members of CCS, acting in their personal capacities, remain free to
			 interact with governmental representatives as they deem appropriate.
