Fighting, academic violations, damage of school property, and many other things are associated with the Student Code of Conduct.
The Student Code of Conduct can be found on the school website in the Student Handbook, under Classes & Enrollment as well as in in the college catalog.
Guidelines for Student Conduct focus on six main policies, and also state procedures for discipline related-to standards.
Academic violations include dishonesty, cheating or plagiarism. Violation of class assignments, examination rules and communicating or transferring information to another student is also related to academic violation. General college violations include forgery, alteration, obstruction or disruption of teaching, engaging in expressions, unauthorized entry, and violation of college policies, theft or damage, and use of personal portable sound amplification equipment. Computer usage violations include theft or abuse of computer resources, but not limited to many other things. Behavior violations include a number of many situations ranging from disorderly conduct to committing sexual harassment and even gambling on district property. Substance violations include unlawful possession, use, sale, offer to sell, or furnishing, or being under the influence of any controlled substance listed in the California Health and Safety Code. Weapons violations include possession or use of the weapons described in the Code of Conduct.
As we all know, there is always a consequence for your actions. There are nine standards that describe the procedure for discipline related to standards of conduct: Admonition, reprimand, temporary suspension by instructor, disciplinary probation, restitution, campus community service, withdrawal of consent to remain on campus, suspension and expulsion.
As a student here at AVC before you want to start acting out it is a good idea to read and understand the college code of conduct. By reading these guidelines and policies you will be more aware of the consequences you will face before you decide to violate any of them. AVC wants the best for their students, but unruly conduct will not be tolerated.
