Sanctions for Students and Student Groups
For students, sanctions for policy violations may include removal from specific courses or activities, suspension from the College, or dismissal. While sanctions may be of a punitive nature, they are intended to be educational as well. Some sanctions may result in notation on the student's record and/or transcript. The possible sanctions that may be issued, individually or in combination, for students found responsible for Prohibited Conduct include: - Statement of Concern may be issued to students who are found in the presence of a policy violation, but who are not held formally accountable for that violation.
- Warning. This is a written notification that a student has committed certain violations and that continuance of such conduct will result in more severe disciplinary action.
- Educational sanctions. These may include, but are not limited to, alcohol education, mandatory counseling assessment and adherence to professional counseling recommendations, research paper or project, coordinating a program with a College employee, group education program, etc.
- Behavioral contract. The purpose of such a contract is to allow a student to successfully manage their behavior while remaining an active member of the Christ College community. Failure to complete the agreed-upon provisions of the contract will result in suspension from the College, unless the student voluntarily withdraws. If suspended or withdrawn, the student must follow the readmission process.
- Administrative hold. This occurs on student accounts and usually enforced when students have failed to comply with assigned tasks resulting from a hearing, informal resolution decision, or a disciplinary action. This hold may: preclude students from registering for classes, alter when a student may register, limit registration choices, and limit or delay the obtaining of documents such as transcripts and diplomas.
- Disciplinary service. This includes service hours expected to be completed in a given area as a way to give back to the campus or local community.
- Fine/restitution. This is a monetary penalty for violations such as vandalism or property damage. All fines must be paid by personal or cashier's check; they will not be applied to a student's account.
- College restriction. Restricted from certain buildings, events, activities, etc.
- Disciplinary Probation. The student is not in good disciplinary standing with the College.
- Administrative Withdrawal. Withdrawal from a specific course, major, or academic department.
- Deferred Suspension. This involves students who have been held responsible for behavior that warrants suspension but where mitigating circumstances and additional sanctions may allow a student to remain in the community while these sanctions are being completed. Failure to complete any of the additional expectations by the stated deadlines will lead to the immediate implementation of suspension without further hearing. In addition, if a student is found responsible for any further College policy violations, at a minimum, the student will automatically be recommended for suspension for at least one full semester.
- Suspension. The denial of the opportunity to continue at the College for a specified period of time (ordinarily no less than one semester), or indefinitely until the student’s intervening record can support an application for readmission. While suspended, a student is not allowed to be on campus or to attend any official College event. In the event that additional sanctions are imposed in conjunction with the suspension, these sanctions will most likely be expected to be completed prior to an application for readmission to be considered. Upon return from suspension, the student will be placed on probationary status for one calendar year following completion of suspension. This sanction may be noted permanently on the student’s transcript.
- Dismissal. The denial of the opportunity to continue as a student at the College. A student who has been dismissed is not eligible to apply for readmission. A student who is dismissed is not allowed to be on campus or to be at any official College event at any time. This sanction is noted permanently on the student’s transcript.
- Organizational Notification. Written or verbal notification to inter/national organization representatives, officers or advisers.
- Loss of Privileges. Denial of privileges such as removal of services and access to facilities, restriction of use of campus financial accounts and/or student activity fee funding, attendance or participation in activities/programs, loss of theme or division housing privileges.
- Social Probation. Probationary status during which time the individual is restricted from participating in social events, including hosting as an organization.
- Probation of Student Organization. Probationary status for a specified period, typically not less than one semester, during which time the organization will be required to fulfill specific conditions before reinstatement to good standing.
- Suspension of Student Organization. Separation from the College for a specified period, typically not less than one semester. Involves loss of all rights and privileges of student organizations, including the use of College facilities, and probationary status for one year following completion of suspension.
- Termination of Student Organization. Termination is the most serious of College disciplinary actions for a student organization. It involves permanent separation of a student organization from the College and removal of recognition of the organization.
Sanctions for Employees or Employee Groups
The sanction may include any form of responsive action or progressive discipline as set forth in the Employee Handbook and Christ Hospital policy: Standards of Performance and Conduct. The sanctions may include but are not limited to training, referral to counseling and/or disciplinary action such as reminder, warning, reprimand, withholding of a promotion or pay increase, reassignment, decision-making leave, temporary suspension without pay or discharge (termination of employment).
