Appendix D
(to Adjunct Faculty Handbook)
Process for Referring Disruptive Students

Prohibited Conduct (as defined on page 60 of the 2005-2006 Student Handbook) will not be tolerated on the campus. If such behavior occurs, faculty/staff should:

  1. confer with the student privately and immediately
  2. if appropriate, direct the student to leave the class or area of disruption
  3. contact the discipline coordinator or department chair
  4. contact the Campus Ombudsman, designated by the Dean of Learning and Student Development by voice mail or e-mail. Give complete details.

According to the Code of Conduct, “Students who engage in any prohibited or unlawful acts

that result in disruption of a class may be directed by the faculty member to leave the class
for the remainder of the class period. Longer suspensions from a class, or dismissal on
disciplinary grounds, must be preceded by a hearing or disciplinary conference…”

Students who are asked to leave a class or area of disruption should be referred to the campus
Ombudsman who will, if appropriate, attempt to resolve the matter informally without invoking the
formal proceedings of the Code of Conduct. In cases when that is not possible, the matter may be
referred to a Disciplinary Conference or Hearing Board. Information regarding conference and
hearing board procedures can be found on pp. 60-63 of the Student Handbook.

For additional information and support contact the CCBC Deans of Learning and Student
Development.
