Student Conduct Code

All students are required to sign and submit a statement regarding the Academic Integrity and Student Conduct Code.  This form is distributed and will be available online to new students during Orientation and to returning students with their registration materials.

STUDENT CODUCT CODE

 

Responsibility and authority for the administration of student conduct at Roanoke College is vested in the Board of Trustees, which delegates such authority to the president of the College. The president, in turn, delegates certain responsibility and authority to members of his administration.

The student - college relationship is based on a contractual agreement that the student enters into voluntarily.  By joining the college community the student agrees to abide by the policies of the College.  An individual is considered to be enrolled at the College from the time of their first deposit or upon being readmitted until graduation, official withdrawal, or suspension or expulsion.  Individuals are subject to the Student Conduct Code as long as they are enrolled at the College, including break periods.  The College's disciplinary system is not a substitute for the criminal justice system, nor does the College serve to provide a sanctuary from criminal or civil law.  Violations of local, state, and/or federal laws are handled by the respective court systems. Such conduct also may constitute violations of the Student Conduct Code and thus may subject a student to college disciplinary action.  The college conduct system is not based on the adversarial model used in the courts. Rather, it seeks to find the truth by insuring that students charged with violations of the Student Conduct Code know the charges brought against them and have the opportunity to answer such charges before an impartial authority.  The policies and regulations of the College have been established to support the educational mission of the institution. This mission includes providing a safe, clean environment in which students can pursue their education without undue interruption or distraction. In order for this to happen, students are expected to be honest; to respect the rights and property of other members of the College and the local community; and to conduct themselves in a responsible manner. 

For many students, college means an opportunity for increased freedom. Along with this freedom goes the task of handling it responsibly. Students are expected to behave responsibly and will be held accountable for their actions if they do not do so.

 

Disciplinary Records & Notification

Disciplinary action, except Academic Integrity violations, is recorded in each student's conduct file, which is maintained by the Office of Student Affairs. This information is maintained for a minimum of three years following graduation or departure from the College. Previous disciplinary action is taken into consideration when determining consequences for subsequent violations.

If a student is expelled or suspended from school or a class due to student conduct code or academic integrity violations, a grade of "DP" (Dropped Passing) for involuntary withdrawal from a course--passing and "DF" (Dropped Failing) for involuntary withdrawal from a course--failing will be recorded on his/her official academic transcript, however in the case of academic integrity violations, an "F" or an "XF" in a course will be recorded on the transcript (instead of "DP" or "DF") if imposed by a Hearing Board or Panel.

Parents or guardians are routinely notified about serious violations such as when a student is placed on Disciplinary Probation, when a student is scheduled to go before a Conduct Board, or usually after a student has committed two or more violations in an academic year.  However, the College may contact parents at any time if in the judgment of college officials it is in the best interest of the student. Academic Advisors are routinely notified about misconduct of their advisees. Other college officials are informed when appropriate.  Law enforcement agencies are notified of criminal offenses occurring on campus, including all violations involving illegal substances.

 

Student Rights

Students charged with violations of the Student Conduct Code, except as noted*, have the following rights:

                - To know the charges being brought against him/her.

                - To have a hearing at which the student may respond to the charges.

                - To know who is bringing evidence against him/her.

*Students facing charges may have another member of the college community present to advise/assist at their hearings. (Campus support person may not be a current or former attorney)

*Students found guilty of a felony or serious criminal offense by law enforcement authorities may be suspended or expelled from the college without a hearing.

*If, by the determination of college officials, justice will be better served, parties to an incident may not be required to confront one another.

Students found responsible for a conduct violation may have a character witness speak on their behalf prior to the determination of the consequence(s).

 *Students may be temporarily prevented from participating in college sponsored activities or representing the College in such activities as athletic events, college sponsored trips, etc. prior to a hearing. 

*Students may be temporarily suspended prior to a hearing (see Disciplinary Consequences).

*The College may take temporary actions against a student, such as placement on probation, removal from housing, and restriction from parts or all of campus, until disciplinary hearings are completed.

*Students criminally charged with a felony or other serious criminal offense by law enforcement authorities, whether the alleged offense occurred prior to or after their first matriculation, may be temporarily suspended from housing, have their access to campus grounds and facilities restricted, be banned from participating in College sponsored activities or representing the College in such activities as athletic events, college sponsored trips, etc., and/or be temporarily placed on probation or suspended from the college without a hearing while the case is pending, until college officials have had time to assess the situation, the charges have been adjudicated [see action below], or until disciplinary hearings are completed.

 

Types of Hearings  (Resolution of Charges) 

Students charged with violations of the Student Conduct Code will have their charges resolved in one of the following ways:

Academic Administrative Hearing:  comprised of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and/or his designee(s).

Non Academic Administrative Hearing:  comprised of a member or members of the College staff.  In difficult cases, members of the College Conduct Board may serve also.  First and/or relatively minor offenses may be heard by the Area Coordinator, and, at the Area Coordinator's discretion with the assistance of Resident Advisors and/or, if the offense occurred in a residence hall, selected Hall Council members of that hall.  

Student Conduct Council Hearing: comprised of a member of the Student Affairs staff and student members of the College Conduct Board.  This body hears cases which warrant sanctions up to and including disciplinary probation.

College Conduct Board Hearing: usually comprised of three students and three faculty/staff members (a minimum of five members may hear a case). This body hears cases, which warrant sanctions up to, and including suspension and expulsion. The student members of the College Conduct Board and SCC are elected annually by the student body of Roanoke College.  The faculty members are appointed by the Vice President-Student Affairs or the Associate Dean of Students.

 

 
Disciplinary Procedures 

Any member of the Roanoke College community (students, staff and faculty) may bring charges against a student or organization for conduct code violations.  Non-members of the college community may not be present at a hearing, except as witnesses presenting information (the hearing officer or college coordinator will determine the appropriateness of a given witness).

Charges relating to student misconduct which occurs in a classroom, faculty office, laboratory, or similar environment, or which may result from action related to academic matters, are brought to the Office of Academic Affairs.  All other charges are brought to the Office of Student Affairs.

A designated administrator will determine if the charge(s) warrants a hearing or a different type of institutional response such as mediation.

If a hearing is warranted, the student will be notified of the charges; the type of hearing; and the time, date, and location of the hearing. Violations of the Student Conduct Code which occur during the final two weeks of a semester, during May term, or during summer sessions usually are adjudicated by an Administrative Hearing.

Two or more students facing charges from the same incident may have their cases heard simultaneously by the same hearing board, at the determination of College officials.

A student having a College Conduct Board hearing will be referred to the Coordinator of the College Conduct Board who will review the Board's guidelines and procedures with the student.

The College reserves the right to conduct a hearing in absentia if:

1.     A student facing charges fails to appear for his/her hearing or otherwise refuses to cooperate in the disciplinary process.

2.     A student withdraws from Roanoke College between the time of the alleged conduct code violation and the scheduled hearing.  In this latter case, the College may decide to wait until the student returns before conducting the hearing.

Appeal Process

The Appeal Process is available upon request to students found responsible for a Student Conduct Code violation (s) and also, using the same appeals guidelines, to the alleged victim of a violation. A college official will conduct the review. A request for an appeal must be based on procedural error in the hearing or new evidence which could not reasonably have been presented at the time of the hearing. The request must be submitted via an Appeal Form available online or in the Office of the Associate Dean of Students within two business days of the hearing unless an extension has been granted. The Appeal Process does NOT include rehearing cases. The determination of facts and whether the student was responsible for the violation(s) or not were the responsibility of the original hearing panel or administrator, which has had access to all the information presented.

If the procedural error or new evidence is determined by the reviewing official or panel to be significant enough to possibly change the outcome of the hearing then a new hearing will be scheduled.

The reviewing official or panel will automatically review the Disciplinary Consequence(s) to ensure that it (they) is (are) consistent with college policy.  The reviewing official has the right to increase or decrease the sanctions assigned to the student.

 

Access to Records

Records are maintained by the Office of the Associate Dean of Students.  Students may see their record by making an appointment with the Office.

Disciplinary Consequences 

Individuals and recognized organizations are subject to the following consequences for violations of the Student Conduct Code and other college policies. More than one consequence may be assigned for a particular violation.

*      RESTITUTION:  Reimbursement for damage to, or destruction of, property, or for stolen and irretrievable property.  This may take the form of community restitution, monetary restitution, and/or other compensation.

*      FINES:  Monetary fines levied for violation(s) of college policy.

*      LOSS OF SOCIAL PRIVILEGE:   Restriction from sponsoring a recognized campus social event.

*      LOSS OF HOUSING PRIVILEGE:  Restriction from living in specific residence halls or loss of on-campus housing.

*      LOSS OF PARTICIPATION PRIVILEGE: Restriction from participating in college sponsored activities such as intercollegiate athletics and intramurals, or from participating in co-curricular organizations such as student government, student publications, and choir, or participation in college sponsored off-campus classes.

*      ALCOHOL/SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROBATION/SUSPENSION/EXPULSION:  Students who appear to be abusers as identified by college officials will be placed on Substance Abuse Probation. (Use or abuse of felony drugs usually results in suspension or expulsion.) A further abuse incident during the period of Probation will most likely result in Suspension or Expulsion. ( See:  Appendix G, Student Handbook)

*      OTHER APPROPRIATE CONSEQUENCES: as determined by the disciplinary authority.

*      DISCIPLINARY WARNING:  A discussion with the student concerning the inappropriate behavior causing the conduct code violation.   A follow-up letter documenting the action taken is placed in the student's file.

        The compilation of violations of the Student Conduct Code have a cumulative effect when a hearing board is determining a sanction in subsequent disciplinary hearings.

*      DISCIPLINARY PROBATION:  Probation is a designated period during which the student demonstrates that he/she wishes to remain a member of the academic community by avoiding further disciplinary difficulty. A violation during this period usually results in Suspension or Expulsion. The student is required to submit a paper detailing his/her goals for the remainder of his/her time at college and how they plan to accomplish them. The purpose of the paper is to help the student focus on what s/he needs to do to be successful at Roanoke. The paper must be at least two typed pages and be double-spaced. (Other topics may be assigned by the hearing board or official or by the reviewing official.)  Students on probation at the time of housing selection will not be allowed to participate in the off campus housing selection. (This means that the student will be required to live on campus the following academic year.)  Being on probation may also affect the student's eligibility to participate in various campus activities, programs, and College sponsored trips. The student's parents will be notified of their student's probationary status and the reasons for it in most cases.

*      DISCIPLINARY SUSPENSION / EXPULSION FROM CLASS(ES):  Attendance not allowed in one or more classes for a specific period of time; or removal from one or more courses. These consequences can be imposed in an Academic Administrative Hearing only.

*      TEMPORARY DISCIPLINARY SUSPENSION:  Temporary suspension from housing, restricted access to designated campus grounds and facilities, and/or temporary suspension from the College.  Such action may be taken if it is deemed necessary to assure the continuing function of the College, or the safety and welfare of members of the College community. A student may also be temporarily suspended from a class by the course instructor if action is deemed necessary by the instructor to assure the functioning of the class.  Temporary disciplinary suspension usually will last until the case is adjudicated or otherwise addressed.

*      DISCIPLINARY SUSPENSION:  Separation from the College for a period of time (a minimum of one term or remainder of the current term).  Suspended students must re-apply and be re-admitted to the College (See:  RE-ADMISSION PROCESS FOR SUSPENDED STUDENTS, ACADEMIC CATALOG.) (A student need not be on disciplinary probation in order to be suspended.)

*      DISCIPLINARY EXPULSION:  Permanent dismissal from Roanoke College.

Suspended or expelled students or students who withdraw pending disciplinary action are required to vacate the campus within 48 hours, unless an exception is made by the appropriate Student Affairs or Academic Affairs representative. Suspended or expelled students or students who withdraw pending disciplinary action are not allowed on college property during their period of separation from the College without prior approval from a Student Affairs or Academic Affairs representative.  Approval will normally only be given in order for the student to conduct official business with the College.

 

Disciplinary Consequence Guidelines 
The following guidelines provide the minimum penalty for the violations listed below.   More serious consequences may be assigned depending on the circumstances of the violation. Guidelines have been provided for those violations which occur most frequently. Not all violations are covered by the guidelines.

 
These guidelines are for first time violations of the respective regulations unless stated otherwise. Students will be assigned more severe consequences for subsequent violations.  Three or more alcohol violations in one academic year and four or more separate violations in an academic year will result in probation for at least the remainder of the year, as will five violations in a two year span, or six violations overall. Situations involving a combination of violations will be treated accordingly.

 Note:  Students fined or assigned community restitution hours are expected to pay on time and/or complete work on time. Students who do not pay their fines and/or complete their community restitution hours or other assigned sanctions by the due dates may be charged with failure to follow the instructions of college officials.  Additional sanctions for fines not paid and/or work not completed may be imposed, up to being placed on disciplinary probation.  The College reserves the right to put a hold on registration and/or transcripts and to deny graduation to a student who has a disciplinary case pending and/or who has not completed all obligations concerning disciplinary matters.

 

Student sanctions which remain incomplete or unpaid after a prolonged period of time, or at the end of the semester or school year, will be converted to fines and turned over to the business office for collection.

 

The following will be converted to the stated fine:

 

Sanction Incomplete                                                               Fine Amount

Incomplete Judicial Educator Module                                         $50 per module

Failure to attend alcohol roundtable session                               $100
