VI. Sanctions

  1. Reprimand: A written communication which gives official notice to the student that any subsequent offense against the Student Code of Conduct will carry heavier penalties because of this prior infraction.
  2. General Probation: An individual may be placed on General Probation when involved in a minor disciplinary offense. General Probation has two important implications: the individual is given a chance to show capability and willingness to observe the Student Code of Conduct without further penalty; secondly, if the individual errs again, further action will be taken. This probation will be in effect for no more than two (2) semesters. Specific stipulations may be included in the terms of probation.
  3. Restrictive Probation: Restrictive Probation becomes a matter of record and results in limitations being placed on the student and/or loss of good standing. Restrictive conditions may limit the student’s access to physical locations on the campus, dates and times the student can be on the campus, or activity in the College community. If the individual is restricted from activity in the College community, they will not be eligible for initiation into any local or national organization, and may not receive any College award or other honorary recognition. The individual may not occupy a position of leadership or responsibility with any College or student organization, publication, or activity. This probation will be in effect for not less than two (2) semesters. Any violation of Restrictive Probation may result in immediate suspension.
  4. Restitution: Paying for damaging, misusing, destroying, or losing property belonging to the College, College personnel, or students.
  5. Withholding transcript, diploma, registration, or participation in graduation ceremonies: Imposed when financial obligations are not met. (Student will not be allowed to register until all financial obligations are met.)
  6. Loss of Academic Credit or Grade: Imposed as a result of academic dishonesty.
  7. Interim Suspension: Exclusion from class and/or other privileges or activities, as set forth in the notice, until a final decision has been made concerning the alleged violation.
  8. Suspension: Exclusion from class(es), and/or all other privileges or activities of the College, for a period of not less than two (2) semesters. This sanction is reserved for those offenses warranting discipline more severe than probation or for repeated misconduct. Students who receive this sanction must get specific written permission from the AVP before returning to campus and are placed on two (2) semesters of probation upon return.
  9. Expulsion: Dismissing a student from campus for an indefinite period losing student status. The student may be readmitted to the College only with the approval of the President.
  10. Group Probation: This is given to a College club or organized group for a specified period of time. If group violations are repeated during the term of the sentence, the charter may be revoked or activities restricted. Specific stipulations may be included in the terms of probation.
  11. Group Restriction: Removing College recognition for a group, club, society, or other organization during the semester in which the offense occurred or for a longer period (usually not more than one (1) other semester). While under restriction, one or more of the following will apply: the group may not seek or add members, hold or sponsor events in the College community, or engage in other activities as specified.
  12. Group Charter Revocation: Removal of College recognition for a group, club, society, or other organization for a minimum of two (2) years. Re-charter after that time must be approved by the President.

NOTE: Failure to Comply: Failure to comply with the rules of the College may result in criminal charges filed against the student(s). Statute 14-288.4 of the North Carolina Criminal Law forbids disorderly conduct in any educational institution. The first offense under this statute would be a Class 2 misdemeanor; a second offense would be a Class 1 misdemeanor; a third offense or subsequent offense would be a Class 1 felony.
