APPEAL TO THE COLLEGE PRESIDENT
The Disciplinary Committee’s decision is final except in cases when the student
believes he/she was not afforded due process. In these cases, the student may make
one final appeal to the College President who will review the case to ensure due
process was given. If the President determines due process was given, the decision
of the Disciplinary Committee will stand. If the President determines due process
was not provided, the President will return the case to the appropriate step in the
proceedings.
SANCTIONS FOR CODE OF CONDUCT VIOLATIONS
A student or student organization found responsible for violating the Student
Conduct Code is subject to one or more of the sanctions listed below, as determined
by the judicial officer. Students enrolled in TVCC, regardless of their campus
affiliation or mode of instructional delivery (i.e. dual credit, distance learning, etc.)
are subject to said sanctions for conduct violations. The judicial officer will take in to
consideration previous violations of the Student Conduct Code by the student or
student organization. This may have an effect on the type and level of the
sanction(s) to be imposed.
The following list of sanctions is intended to show the range of sanctions that may
be imposed on a student or student organization, either individually or in
combination. This list is not to be regarded as all-inclusive but rather as a sample of
sanctions that may be imposed. Other college policies and regulations may impose
specific penalties for specific violations, and nothing in this article is intended to
limit the imposition of those specific sanctions.
Disciplinary Warning
– An official written reprimand stating that unacceptable
behavior has occurred and any further inappropriate behavior or other violations of
the Student Conduct Code may result in more serious judicial actions by the College.
Disciplinary Probation
– Disciplinary probation is a specific period of time,
generally not less than three months, during which further violations of the Student
Conduct Code may result in more serious disciplinary actions. Violations of
disciplinary probation will generally result in disciplinary actions such as
suspension or expulsion from the College.
Restitution
– Requiring restitution allows for the compensation of loss, damage or
injury caused by a student’s or student organization’s misconduct. Compensation
may take the form of appropriate service and/or monetary or material replacement.
Educational Sanction
- An educational sanction may consist of the assignment of
specific projects to be performed by a student or student organization such as
writing a research paper on a specified topic, performing community service hours,
attending an educational program and/or writing reaction papers on a specified
topic. Educational sanctions may also include completing mandated alcohol and
drug education programs and enrolling in a web-based online alcohol and drug
education program.
