Student
Conduct Procedures: Sanctions

Suspension.
This action terminates a student's enrollment or an organization's
existence as a recognized organization for up to six quarters/two

be met before a student may be re-enrolled at the College
or an organization may be re-instated.
Expulsion.
This action permanently separates a student or an organization
from the College. Students are not eligible for readmission.
Organizations are not eligible for reinstatement.

without prior written permission from the Dean of Students.
Organizations or groups who receive either sanction must cease
using College facilities, funds, and resources, and lose all
privileges.
