  6. Judicial Registration Record Hold
     If a student fails to complete the conditions of a judicial sanction e.g. College Service Hours, etc., a Judicial Registration Record Hold may be placed on his or her registration account. With this hold in place, the student is prohibited from participating in registration and course adjustment, requesting transcripts, and from receiving a diploma. The Dean of Students will remove the hold after the student has met the conditions of the sanction.
  7. Suspension
     Temporary separation from the College for a specified period. At the end of the specified period the student may apply for readmission to the college. Special conditions affecting eligibility for readmission or special conditions to be in effect upon readmission may be designated. Restitution, where appropriate, may be required of a suspended student. Suspended students may not visit the campus unless prior permission by the Dean of Students has been granted. Suspended students will not receive academic credit for the semester in which the suspension occurred.
  8. Dismissal
    Permanent separation from the College. Dismissed students may not visit the campus unless prior permission by the Dean of Students has been granted. Dismissed students will not receive academic credit for the semester in which the dismissal occurred.

Students should be aware that while the judicial actions are listed in order of severity they are not necessarily applied in that order. All judicial actions are communicated to the student in writing. A copy of all correspondence is placed in the student's judicial file. In the event that a student is found responsible a copy of the written notification is sent to appropriate college personnel. If a student is found responsible for violating a college regulation pertaining to violence or non-violent sex offenses, the following information will be released upon request: name of student, offense, sanction imposed.
