Title: STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS
Disciplinary actions that may be imposed on a student for misconduct, violation of law and/or
College regulations and policies include:
Restitution: Restitution is repayment. The student must pay for damages to property
or for lost property.
Reprimand: A reprimand is a written statement of student misconduct which places on record that
a student’s conduct in a specific instance did not meet the standards expected at the
College. A written reprimand from the Vice Chancellor of Student Services or designee
serves as a warning that continued conduct of the type described in the reprimand
or other misconduct may result in formal disciplinary actions against the student.
At the end of a specified period of time, defined and stated in the reprimand, the
student who has displayed the inappropriate conduct will be automatically removed
from reprimand status by the Vice Chancellor of Student Services or designee.
Other forms of disciplinary action against the student include probation, temporary
exclusion, withholding an academic record or degree or suspension.
Probation: Probation is a formal action for violation of College rules and regulations placing
conditions upon the student’s continued attendance at Wayne County Community College
District. After close evaluation of the individual case, the Vice Chancellor of Student
Services or designee will specify, in writing, the period of probation and the conditions,
including a warning that further violations may result in more severe disciplinary action.
Disciplinary probation may be for a specific term or for an indefinite period, which may be
extended to graduation or termination of the student’s enrollment at the College.
Temporary Exclusion: A temporary exclusion is the prohibition of a student’s participation in specific
activities of the College for a specified length of time. During the period
of exclusion the student cannot participate as a member of the College
community in such activities as: registering for courses, attendance in class,
participation in or initiation into an honorary society, student organizations,
intramural sports and intercollegiate athletics. The conditions of the temporary
exclusion will be in writing and remain in effect until the Vice Chancellor of
Student Services or designee is satisfied that the obligations to the College
have been met.
Expulsion: The permanent prohibition of a student’s participation in specific activities of the
College for a specified length of time. During the period of expulsion the student
cannot participate as a member of the College community in such activities as:
registering for courses, attendance in class, participation in or initiation into an
honorary society, student organizations, intramural sports and intercollegiate athletics.
The condition of the expulsion will be in writing and remain in effect permanently.
