Institutional Disciplinary Action and Process

Institutional disciplinary action may be brought against students found by the College to have violated College regulations and/or local/state and/or federal laws concerning controlled substances or other criminal offenses. Violations of any state or federal law pertaining to controlled substances or any other criminal offense that occur during off campus activities may also result in College disciplinary action in situations in which the activity or continued presence of the individual is likely to impact or interfere with the educational mission and the orderly operation of Central Texas College.

College disciplinary proceedings will be in accordance with procedures outlined in this Student Handbook. Disciplinary action in cases involving drug or alcohol related situations by students may result in suspension or expulsion from the College for the first offense, depending on the nature and seriousness of the case. Participation in a substance or alcohol abuse educational program may be required in addition to other sanctions. Any disciplinary action imposed by the College is in addition to and separate from any penalty imposed by federal, state or local authority.
