Student Handbook 2025-26

At the conclusion of the Student Conduct Committee Hearing, after all information has been decided, the Dean, or designee, will notify the respondent student of the outcome and sanctions imposed, if any.

Interim Suspension

Following the submission of a referral, if the Dean, or their designee, believes that the information supporting the allegations of misconduct is reliable, and determines that the continued presence of the student on the College campus poses a threat to any individual, the student will be suspended on an interim basis. Any interim suspension – either from campus housing and/or from the College – shall be communicated in writing to the student and shall become effective immediately upon sending such notice. The interim suspension shall remain in effect until a final decision has been made on the pending charges at the Student Conduct Committee Hearing, or until the Dean, or their designee, determines that the reasons for imposing the interim suspension no longer exist. If the incident occurs at the end of an academic semester and a student is placed on interim suspension status, the Dean, or their designee, has thirty (30) days to initiate the hearing process. The Conduct Committee Hearing may be conducted via electronic means. Staff will work to accommodate student schedules as best they are able, including by conducting Conduct Committee Hearings via electronic means if beneficial. A Conduct Committee Hearing will not be conducted without the respondent being given an opportunity to attend. However, if other involved parties are not available or A student who is suspended for an interim period shall be provided an opportunity to have their case heard by the Student Conduct Committee.
