The following sanctions may be imposed by the vice-president for student services or the student judicial board upon any student found to have violated the code of student rights and responsibilities:

(1) Warning. Notice to a student, either verbally or in writing. Such warnings will include the statement that continuation or repetition of the specific conduct involved or other misconduct will normally result in one of the more serious disciplinary sanctions described below.

(2) Reprimand. Formal action censuring a student for violation of the college code. Reprimands shall be made in writing to the student with copies filed in the office of the vice-president for student services. A reprimand will include the statement that continuation or repetition of the specific conduct involved or other misconduct will normally result in one of the more serious disciplinary sanctions described below.

(3) Fines. Assess monetary fines against individual students for violation of the college code. The fines imposed will be deposited in the appropriate college account. Failure to pay such fines within thirty days may, at the discretion of the vice-president for student services, result in suspension for an indefinite period of time as set forth in subsection (6) of this section, provided that a student may be reinstated upon payment of the fine.

(4) Restitution. An individual student may be required to make restitution for damage or loss to college or other property and for injury to persons. Failure to make restitution within thirty days may, at the discretion of the vice-president for student services, result in suspension for an indefinite period of time as set forth in subsection (8) of this section, provided that a student may be reinstated upon payment.

(5) Forfeit of state-funded grants, scholarships or awards. A person who participates in the hazing of another shall forfeit any entitlement to state-funded grants, scholarships, or awards for a period of time determined by the college.

(6) Deprivation of official recognition of organization, association, student living group or club. Any organization, association, student living group or club that knowingly permits hazing to be conducted by its members or by others subject to its direction or control shall be deprived of any official recognition or approval granted by the college.

(7) Disciplinary probation. Formal action placing conditions upon the student's continued attendance for violations of the college code. Written notice of disciplinary probation will specify the period of probation and any conditions, such as limiting the student's participation in extracurricular activities or access to specific areas of the college's facilities. Copies of the notice shall be kept on file in the office of the vice-president for student services and, at the discretion of the vice-president for student services, in the student's official educational records. Disciplinary probation will be for a specified term.

(8) Suspension/dismissal. Temporary, summary or permanent dismissal of a student from the college for violation of college code. The written notification suspending a student will state the term of the suspension, any special conditions which must be met before readmission, and the provision for appeal for readmission as outlined in WAC 132X-60-130. Notice shall be on file in the office of the vice-president for student services and in the student's official education record.

Students who are suspended from the college may be denied access to all or any part of the campus or other facility during the duration of the period of suspension.

Refund of tuition and fees for the quarter in which disciplinary action is taken shall be in accordance with the college's refund rules.
