Disciplinary sanctions.

(1) The following sanctions may be imposed by the chief student services officer, student conduct officer, the student conduct board, the student conduct administrative panel, or the appeals board on a student found to have violated the standards of conduct for students.
(a) Warning. An oral statement to a student that there is a violation and that continued violation may be cause for further discipline. Warnings are not subject to appeal.
(b) Reprimand. A notice in writing to the student that the student has violated one or more provisions of the standards of conduct for students, a disciplinary record has been created, and that continuation of the same or similar behavior may result in more severe disciplinary action.
(c) Probation. Formal action placing specific conditions and restrictions upon the student's continued attendance depending upon the seriousness of the violation and which 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, which may include, but is not limited to, a suspension or a dismissal from the college, shall take effect immediately without further review. Any such 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. A student who is on disciplinary probation may be deemed "not in good standing" with the college. If so, the student shall be subject to the following restrictions:
(i) Ineligible to hold an office in any student organization recognized by the college or to hold any elected or appointed office of the college.
(ii) Ineligible to represent the college to anyone outside the college community in any way, including representing the college at any official function, or any forms of intercollegiate competition or representation.
(d) Loss of privileges. Denial of specified privileges for a designated period of time.
(e) Restitution or compensation for loss, damage, or injury. This may take the form of appropriate service and/or monetary or material replacement.
(f) Education. The college may require the student to complete an educational project or attend sessions, at the student's expense, which address the student's behavior such as anger management or counseling.
(g) Fines may be imposed by the college.
(h) College suspension for a period not to exceed ten instructional days. Separation of the student from the college for a definite period of time, after which the student is eligible to return. Conditions for readmission may be specified. There will be no refund of tuition or fees for the quarter in which the action is taken.
(i) Revocation of admission or degree. Admission to or a degree awarded from the college may be revoked for fraud, misrepresentation, or other violation of standards of conduct for students in obtaining the degree, or for other serious violations committed by a student prior to graduation.
(j) Withholding degree. The college may withhold awarding a degree otherwise earned until the completion of the process set forth in this chapter, including the completion of all sanctions imposed.
(k) No trespass order. A student may be restricted from college property based on his/her misconduct.
(l) Assessment. The student may be required to have an assessment, such as alcohol/drug or anger management, by a certified professional, and complete the recommended treatment.
(m) Loss of recognition. A student organization's recognition may be withheld permanently or for a specific period of time. Loss of recognition is defined as withholding college services or administrative approval from a student organization. Services and approval to be withdrawn include intramural sports, information technology services, college facility use and rental, and involvement in organizational activities.
(n) Hold on transcript or registration. This is a temporary measure restricting release of a student's transcript or access to registration. Upon satisfactory completion of the conditions of the sanction, the hold is released.
(o) No contact order. A prohibition of direct or indirect physical, verbal, and/or written contact with another individual or group.
(2) The following additional sanctions may be issued by the chief student services officer, student conduct officer, the student conduct administrative panel, or the appeals board on a student found to have violated the standards of conduct for students:
(a) College suspension for a period that exceeds ten academic days. Separation of the student from the college for a definite period of time, after which the student is eligible to return. Conditions for readmission may be specified. There will be no refund of tuition or fees for the quarter in which the action is taken.
(b) College expulsion. Permanent separation of the student from the college. The revocation of all rights and privileges of membership in the college community and exclusion from the campus, CCS-owned or controlled facilities without any possibility of return. There will be no refund of tuition or fees for the quarter in which action is taken.
(3) A sanction may be made effective for the entire district or the student's college. If only to the student's college, the chief student services officer at the other colleges may enforce the disciplinary action at their respective college.
(4) More than one of the sanctions listed in subsection (1) of this section may be imposed for any single violation.
(5) Other than college expulsion or revocation or withholding of a degree, disciplinary sanctions are not made part of the student's academic record, but are part of the student's disciplinary record.
(6) If a student's behavior is found to have been motivated by another's race, creed, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, sex, gender identity or expression, or disability, use of a guide dog or service animal by a person with a disability, veteran's status, or genetic information, such finding is considered an aggravating factor in determining a sanction for such conduct.
