Three committees are appointed to hold hearings for students accused of violating
the regulations of the college:
Inter-Student Management Disciplinary Council-composed of student management professionals
(Director or Assistant Director presiding officer/designee) hears all informal cases
and in some instances cases of formal proceedings, involving minor and moderate infractions
that will constitute sanctions of probation, fines, suspension from the college, residence
halls/buildings/bus in length, and/or community service. The council sometimes can
be composed of various student management professionals that can hear a formal case,
and also in rare cases in which the Administrative Judicial Council sends a case (s)
back to a lower council. The council also serves as an appellate council.
Student Judicial (court) Council-composed of Student Government Association members
(Chief Justice of the SGA-presiding officer; Faulty member and staff member advisor)
The council hears cases that the Director or Assistant Director considers to be minor/moderate
infractions that will constitute sanctions of probation, fines, suspension from residence
halls/buildings/bus in length, and/or community service. Council makes recommendation
to the Director Student Engagement to uphold, reject, or modify sanctions imposed in the informal hearing.
Administrative Judicial Council-composed of a quorum of the executive cabinet of the
college (Director of Student Engagement -presiding officer-ex officio member), the council hears cases that the Director
of Student Engagement constitute to be severe infractions that may lead to a recommendation
of extensive suspension or expulsion. Before proceedings began, council reserves the
right to send the case back to a lower court based on the merit (s) of the infraction
per reading all reports. Council also serves as an appellate council.
Note: The Director of Student Engagement and/or the Director of Campus Safety also reserve the right to meet with students
outside of council proceedings in an effort to minimize the volume of cases being
referred. The Director of Student Engagement and/or the Director of Campus Safety have the right
to remove a student from campus and off campus sites until more official proceedings
can materialize. In cases involving the Director of Student Engagement, the Assistant
Director/designee will serve as the presiding officer.
