Wash. Admin. Code § 132L-351-050 - Disciplinary sanctions terms and conditions
(1) The following
disciplinary sanctions may be imposed upon students found to have violated the
student conduct code:
(a)
Disciplinary
warning. A verbal statement to a student that there is a violation and
that continued violation may be cause for further disciplinary
action.
(b)
Written
reprimand. Notice in writing that the student has violated one or more
terms of this code of conduct and that continuation or repetition of the same
or similar may be cause for more severe disciplinary action. This sanction is
not subject to appeal.
(c)
Disciplinary 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.
(d)
Summary
suspension. Immediate exclusion from classes and other privileges or
activities in accordance with this code.
(e)
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 is taken.
(f)
Deferred
suspension. Notice of suspension from the college with the provision
that the student may remain enrolled contingent on meeting any condition(s)
specified. Not meeting the contingency shall immediately invoke the suspension
for the period of time and under the conditions originally imposed.
(g)
Dismissal. The revocation of
all rights and privileges of membership in the college community and exclusion
from the campus and college-owned or controlled facilities without any
possibility of return. There will be no refund of tuition or fees for the
quarter in which the action is taken.
(2) Disciplinary terms and conditions that
may be imposed alone or in conjunction with the imposition of a disciplinary
sanction include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a)
Restitution. Reimbursement
for damage to or misappropriation of property, or for injury to persons, or for
reasonable costs incurred by the college in pursuing an investigation or
disciplinary proceeding. This may take the form of monetary reimbursement,
appropriate service, or other compensation.
(b)
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 any such evaluation. The
student's return to college may be conditioned upon compliance with
recommendations set forth in such a professional evaluation. If the evaluation
indicates that the student is not capable of functioning within the college
community, the student will remain suspended until future evaluation recommends
that the student is capable of reentering the college and complying with the
rules of conduct.
(c)
Not in
good standing. A student 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 form of intercollegiate competition or
representation.

additional sanctions, including disqualification from college-sponsored

(3) Hazing
disciplinary sanctions for individual and group incidents prohibited pursuant
to WAC 132L-351-040(9):

hazing or participate in hazing of another. State law provides that hazing is a
criminal offense, punishable as a misdemeanor.

(i) Any student that knowingly permits hazing
is strictly liable for harm caused to persons or property resulting from
hazing. If the organization, association, or student living group is a
corporation whether for profit or nonprofit, the individual directors or the
corporation may be held individually liable for damages.
(ii) Any person who participates in the

direction or control shall be deprived of any official recognition or approval
granted by the college.

college antihazing policies, or state or federal laws relating to hazing or
offenses related to alcohol, drugs, sexual assault, or physical assault will be
disclosed in a public report issued by the college setting forth the name of
