Washington Administrative Code › Title 495A - Bates Technical College › Chapter 495A-121 - Student rights and responsibilities › Section 495A-121-044 - Disciplinary sanctions

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The following disciplinary sanctions may be imposed upon
				students found to have violated the student conduct code. Depending upon the
				misconduct, more than one sanction may be imposed. Other than college dismissal
				or revocation or withholding of a degree or certificate, disciplinary sanctions
				are not made a part of the student's academic record but are part of the
				student's disciplinary record. Violation of any term or condition of a
				disciplinary sanction constitutes a new violation and may subject the student
				to additional sanctions.
(1)
			 Disciplinary warning. A verbal statement to a student that there is a violation
			 and that continued violations may be cause for further disciplinary
			 action.
(2) Written reprimand.
			 Notice in writing that the student has violated one or more terms of this code
			 of conduct and that continuation of the same or similar behavior may result in
			 more severe disciplinary action.
(3) Disciplinary probation. Formal action
			 placing specific conditions and restrictions upon the student's continued
			 attendance depending upon the seriousness of the violation and 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 may include, but
			 is not limited to, a suspension or a dismissal from the college that shall take
			 effect immediately. If the deferred sanction is a suspension in excess of ten
			 days or a dismissal, the student shall have a right to appeal to the student/
			 faculty disciplinary committee. Other deferred sanctions shall be subject to
			 brief administrative proceedings as described in this chapter.
Any 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.
(4) Disciplinary suspension.
			 Dismissal from the college and from the student status for a stated period of
			 time. There will be no refund of tuition or fees for the quarter in which the
			 action was taken.
(5) Dismissal.
			 The revocation of all rights and privileges of being a student at Bates
			 Technical College and exclusion from all college campuses and college owned or
			 controlled facilities without any possibility of returning. There is no refund
			 of tuition or fees for the quarter in which the action is taken.
Disciplinary terms and conditions that may be imposed in
				conjunction with the imposition of a disciplinary sanction include, but are not
				limited to, the following:
(6) Educational sanction. The college may
			 require the student to complete an educational activity or experience directly
			 related to the violation committed at the student's expense.
(7) Professional evaluation. Referral for
			 drug, alcohol, psychological, or medical evaluation by an appropriately
			 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 the evaluation. The student's return to college may
			 be conditioned upon compliance with recommendations set forth in a professional
			 evaluation. If the evaluation indicates that the student is not capable of
			 functioning within the college community, the student remains suspended until
			 further evaluation recommends that the student is capable of reentering the
			 college and complying with the rules of conduct.
(8) Not in good standing. If a student is
			 deemed not in good standing with the college, the student is subject to the
			 following restrictions:
(a) Ineligible to hold
			 an office in any student organization recognized by the college;
(b) Ineligible to hold an elected or
			 appointed office of the college; and
(c) Ineligible to represent the college to
			 anyone outside the college community in any capacity including representing the
			 college at any official function or any forms of intercollegiate competition or
			 representation.
