Sanctions may be imposed following either an administrative hearing or a Conduct Board hearing. Students found responsible for violating the Student Code of Conduct will generally receive one or more sanctions, and multiple sanctions may be imposed for a single violation.

Following an administrative hearing, the Assistant Dean of Students will determine the appropriate sanctions and discuss them with the student.

Following a Conduct Board hearing, the Board will submit a written report to the Assistant Dean of Students, along with the hearing minutes and/or a recording. The report will include the Board's determination regarding whether the student is responsible for violating the Student Code of Conduct and, if applicable, its recommended sanctions. After reviewing the Board's findings and recommendations, the Assistant Dean of Students will make the final determination regarding sanctions and notify the student of the outcome within five business days of the hearing.

The following factors shall be considered when determining the appropriate sanction(s):

• The nature and seriousness of the offense.
• The impact or damage to the College, complainants' property, or to others as a result of the misconduct.
• The student’s state of mind at the time of the incident.
• The student’s prior conduct record at the College.
• The student’s response, attitude, and demeanor after the violation.
• The student’s appreciation of the nature and severity of their academic dishonesty.
• Any mitigating circumstances.
• The penalties which have been imposed in similar prior cases.
