Section 174-123-050. Jurisdiction.

(1) The code applies to:

(a) Prohibited conduct that occurs on college premises or at college-sponsored events or activities; and applies in all locations of the college, including locations other than Olympia, Washington; and

(b) Prohibited conduct that does not occur on college premises or in the context of college-sponsored events or activities where it is reasonable to conclude the conduct causes, or threatens to cause, substantial and material disruption or interference with teaching by the college and student learning; or where the conduct causes, or threatens to cause, a substantial and material danger to the health, welfare, or personal safety of any member of the college community, or to college property. The vice-president for student affairs will determine whether the code will be applied to conduct occurring off campus on a case-by-case basis.

(2) Each student is responsible for their conduct from the time of application for admission through the actual awarding of a degree as follows:

(a) Before a program or course of study begins or after it ends;

(b) During the academic year; and

(c) During periods between terms of actual enrollment, even if the person's conduct is reported after a degree is awarded.

(3) The code applies to a student's conduct even if the student withdraws from the college while a complaint is pending.

(4) Alleged misconduct by a student organization will be addressed by student activities' policies and procedures.

(5) Nothing herein will be construed as being intended to create a legal obligation on the part of the college to protect any person or class of persons from injury or harm, or to deny students their legal and/or constitutionally protected rights.
