WAC 132C-120-100 Jurisdiction

Admission to the college carries with it the expectation that the student will obey the law, comply with rules and regulations of the college, and is accountable for his/her conduct.

All rules herein adopted shall apply to every student on any college property or engaged in any college related activity or function. Sanctions for violation of the rules of student conduct herein adopted will be administered by the college in the manner provided by said rules. When violations of the laws of the state of Washington and/or the United States are involved, the college may in addition refer such matters to civil authorities. In the case of minors such conduct may be referred to parents or guardians.

This code is applicable in all matters of discipline, and any disciplinary action imposed upon a student shall be taken in accordance with this code, unless the disciplinary action was imposed according to separate college policy which the student contractually accepted as a condition to participation in a particular course of study.

Disciplinary action, including dismissal from the college, may be imposed on a student for failure to abide by rules of conduct contained herein. The form of disciplinary action imposed will determine whether and under what conditions a violator may continue as a student at the college. Practices in disciplinary cases may vary in formality according to the severity of the case.

College administrative officers may deny admission to a prospective student or re-registration to a current student if, in their judgment, the student would not be competent to profit from the curricular offerings of the college, or would, by the student's presence or conduct, create a disruptive atmosphere within the college inconsistent with the purpose of the institution.

When reference in this document is made to a college official, that reference shall be read to include the specified college official or designee.
