Student Code of Conduct Administration
The Director of Student Development, or designee, shall administer the Student Code of Conduct and questions regarding its interpretation shall be referred to the Director, or designee, for final determinations.</p>
<p>Interim Suspension
The College may suspend a student, pending a hearing if, in the Student Conduct Administrators, or designees, judgment the students presence on campus constitutes a danger to self or others, or the alleged offense is of a heinous nature. Every effort will be made to schedule a hearing within five (5) workdays after the suspension if the student so requests in writing or the Student Conduct Administrator, or designee, deems it appropriate.</p>
<p>Inability of an Accused Student to appear at any Student Conduct Hearing due to long distance travel, incarceration, or other reasons, may not result in an extension of the time period before the hearing. In such cases, an Accused Student may be given the opportunity to participate in a hearing by telephone or by written statement. The appropriateness of such arrangements will be determined by the Student Conduct Administrator.</p>
<p>If the Student Conduct Administrator determines that an accused student poses a significant safety threat to students or college employees, the College may require that the requested hearing take place in an alternative format, i.e. telephone or in writing. Inability of an accused student to participate in a hearing in person or by telephone or in writing may not prevent the College from holding a hearing without the participation of the Accused Student.</p>
<p>If an interim suspension occurs during College calendar breaks, the College may schedule the hearing within five (5) workdays after the resumption of classes.</p>
<p>If the accused student and the Student Conduct Administrator do not request a hearing, the interim suspension remains in effect.</p>
<p>During an interim suspension, students shall be denied access to the campus (including classes), and shall be denied access to electronic services of the College, such as Telecourses, Internet or other Distance Learning activities, e-mail, and/or all other College activities or privileges for which the student might otherwise be eligible. Continued use of such services without the express permission of the Director of Student Development, or designee, shall be considered a further and additional violation of the Code of Conduct
