Additional Actions

  1. In addition to the disciplinary actions that could be imposed for misconduct, additional actions may be imposed by the Director of Student Life and/or designated Student Conduct officer or a Disciplinary Committee and may include, but are not limited to one or a combination of the following:
    • Admonition and Warning - A written statement to a student that he or she is violating, or has violated, the Student Code of Conduct and may be subject to disciplinary action should misconduct continue.
    • Loss of Privileges - The withdrawal of specified privileges for a definite period of time.
    • Referrals - Required attendance in a group or individual program that is deemed necessary.
    • Central Texas College Community Service - A student may be required to complete a specified number of hours of community service.
    • Restitution - Required reimbursement for damage to or misappropriation of property. Reimbursement may take the form of monetary repayment, service to repair, or replacement at CTCD’s discretion.
    • Withholding of Transcript or Degree - A hold may be placed on a student’s account which prevents the issuance of a transcript and/or degree.
    • Marking of a Transcript with a Disciplinary Notation - A hold may be placed on a student’s account which requires that any transcript that is printed/sent electronically will have disciplinary expulsion or disciplinary action pending marked at the bottom of the student transcript.
  2. The issuance of one form of discipline may be used in combination with another and shall constitute one disciplinary action (i.e., student is suspended with the requirement of a referral and community service).
  3. Prior misconduct (academic and non-academic) may be considered at the time of adjudication of the discipline.
  4. Disciplinary actions will only be considered after a finding of fact has been made. The more serious the violation of the Student Code of Conduct the lesser impact any mitigating circumstances may have. The following will be dually considered when determining an appropriate disciplinary action:
    • past case precedent;
    • past disciplinary action;
    • whether the actions were directed at another’s race, gender, ethnicity, disability or other protected class;
    • seriousness of harm or injury caused by the actions; and
    • responsibility assumed by student throughout disciplinary proceedings.

Nothing in this code precludes the College from pursuing any and all remedies available under this Student Code of Conduct and/or those available by law.
