Student Judicial Procedure

In case of student misconduct, the following procedures apply:

1. Report is made on the Office of Student Life’s Student Referral Form web link on the College’s website within five business days of the incident.
2. The Director of Student Life or designee, having determined that a violation has taken place, interviews the parties involved within five business days or within a reasonable time frame if best effort is demonstrated in contacting all parties.
3. The Director of Student Life or designee either notifies the parties involved that no disciplinary action is merited or investigates the charges further.
4. The Director of Student Life or designee then either proposes a sanction through a resolution conference or schedules a hearing with the College Judicial Committee. In either case, the parties involved are informed.
5. The complainant or the accused may challenge the decision of the Director of Student Life or designee by requesting a hearing before the College Judicial Committee.
6. Following the hearing and within three business days of notification of the Committee’s decision, the complainant or the accused may appeal to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs.
7. The final appeal for the complainant or the accused at the college level is to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and must be filed within three business days of notification of the committee’s decision.
8. In accordance with LCTCS policy, after the student has exhausted all due process procedures at the college level, the student may choose to appeal to the LCTCS Board within thirty calendar days of the Vice Chancellor’s decision.

 (For a complete description of the policy and procedures, see the College’s “Student Judicial Code” policy, which is available on the College’s web site and in the Office of Student Life of each campus or site.)
