Section 495C-121-030. Jurisdiction.  


Latest version.
  • (1) The student conduct code, chapter 495C-121 WAC, shall apply to student conduct that occurs:
    (a) In or on college facilities;
    (b) At or in connection with college-sponsored activities; or
    (c) Off-campus when in the judgment of the college it adversely affects the college community or the pursuit of its objectives.
    (2) This chapter applies to conduct which occurs at all locations where students are engaged in college activities, including foreign or domestic travel, activities funded or sponsored by the associated students, athletic or recreational events, training internships, cooperative and distance education, online education, practicums, supervised work experiences, or any other college-sanctioned activities.
    (3) This chapter applies to conduct from the time of application for admission through the actual receipt of a degree, even though conduct may occur before classes begin or after classes end, as well as during the academic year and during periods between terms of actual enrollment. This chapter shall apply to a student's conduct even if the student withdraws from college while a disciplinary matter is pending.
    (4) The college has sole discretion, on a case-by-case basis, to determine whether this student conduct code will be applied to conduct that occurs off campus.
    (5) In addition to initiating discipline proceedings for violation of the student conduct code, the college may refer any violations of federal, state, or local laws to civil and criminal authorities for disposition. The college may proceed with student disciplinary proceedings regardless of whether the underlying conduct is subject to civil proceedings or criminal prosecution.
