the college may seek resolution of violations of the Student Code of Conduct committed against them by members of the college community.

Scope

The rules presented in the Student Code of Conduct are applicable to all students. Any violations of local, State or Federal laws may result in additional charges and sanctions by the College. The Student Code of Conduct will apply to student conduct that occurs on college premises, at college-sponsored activities both on and off-campus. Factors that will be considered when determining whether to address off campus conduct include, but are not limited to: whether the incident is documented by a verifiable source, adversely affects the college community, occurs at a college program or activity, or endangers the health or safety of a student or others. Student conduct proceedings may be initiated for alleged conduct that potentially violates both law and college policy without regard to the pendency of civil or criminal litigation in court or criminal arrest and prosecution. Proceedings under these procedural standards may be carried out prior to, concurrently with, or following civil or criminal proceedings. Determinations made or outcomes imposed will not be subject to change because criminal charges or civil complaints arising out of the same facts giving rise to violation of college policy were dismissed, reduced, or resolved in favor of the respondent. Any conduct which may present a risk to the health or safety to a member of the college community may result in immediate removal from the college pending the outcome of college investigation and action or criminal proceedings. The Dean, or their designee, shall determine sanctions for students in violation of local, State, or Federal laws. Sanctions may include termination of student employment, suspension
