Interim Actions

Students

When the College determines that a student's behavior (a) is potentially threatening, harmful, or dangerous to others or the College community; (b) impacts the stability and continuity of normal College operations and activities; or (c) directly and substantially impedes the lawful activities of others, the Dean of Students or designee may take interim action. Interim actions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• temporary suspension from the College;
• exclusion or administrative ban from all or a portion of any College premises or any College-related activity or system;
• an administrative no contact order with an individual; or
• temporary suspension from a course. If a student persists in disrupting a particular course after repeated warnings or being removed from the classroom environment by the instructor, he or she may be temporarily suspended from that course only. Students should still receive necessary assignments and coursework to be completed and turned in during the temporary suspension.

The Dean of Students may, in their discretion, meet with the student and utilize information gathered in that meeting to determine whether to terminate or modify the interim action(s). The student may have a support individual present. In addition to interim action(s), the Disciplinary Procedures may be initiated pursuant to the Code.

Student Organizations

When the College determines that the continued activities of a student organization (a) are potentially threatening, harmful, or dangerous to others or the College community; (b) pose a threat of significant property damage; (c) impact the stability and continuity of normal College operations and activities; or (d) directly and substantially impede the lawful activities of others, the Dean of Students or designee may take interim action(s). Interim actions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• temporary suspension from the College in which the organization must cease activities both on and off campus; or
• exclusion or administrative ban from all or a portion of any College premises or any College-related activity or system, including, but not limited to, suspension of recruiting, exclusion from intramural competition or denial of use of College Premises for meetings or activities.

The Dean of Students or designee may, in their discretion, meet with the organization and utilize information gathered in that meeting to determine whether to terminate or modify the interim action(s). The organization may have a Support Individual present. In addition to interim action(s), the Disciplinary Procedures may be initiated pursuant to the Code.
