Basic Principles for Success at MVC
We the students, faculty and staff at Mountain View College, in order to create a safe,
productive, supportive and professional environment for teaching and learning, do
hereby propose the following principles for our college and classrooms. As members
of the Mountain View community, we must not only propose, but we must promote
and uphold these principles.
• We must show respect to all people in the college and classroom.
• We must communicate in a respectful manner and tone of voice when expressing ideas and opinions.
• We must listen with open minds and respect others’ rights to their opinions and values.
• We must respect the instructor’s responsibility to lead and direct the course of activities in the classroom.
• We must aspire to reach our highest standards and expectations, and encourage and support one another in
this endeavor.
We the students, faculty and staff of Mountain View
College, an institution of higher learning, must conduct
ourselves in a manner that exemplifies the highest
personal and professional standards. We must remember
that all privileges at Mountain View College come
with responsibilities.
Rights and Rules
MVC is a pleasant place, and you will
never have much reason to look at our
rights and rules. However, if you do, you
will find that Mountain View College’s
rights and rules resemble those you find off
campus. You have rights of privacy and of a
fair hearing if there is a problem or dispute,
just like you have in general society. In the same
way, there are also rules of behavior and conduct
resembling those you encounter off campus.
Basic Good Behavior
Think of it this way: if you wouldn’t do it at home, you
shouldn’t do it at Mountain View College. The Student
Conduct Code lists behaviors not allowed at MVC.
Please refer to excerpts from the Code of Conduct
section at the end of this handbook. To view the
complete Student Code of Conduct go to:
www.mountainviewcollege.edu/codeofconduct.

Sexual Harassment
The student grievance procedure is not applicable to complaints of sexual harassment.
All students shall report complaints of sexual harassment informally to location
human resources personnel or location representatives selected by the highest level
administrator at the location, or formally to the Vice-Chancellor of Educational Affairs
as provided in the sexual harassment procedure.

Freedom of Inquiry and Expression
Students and student organizations are free to examine and discuss all questions of
interest to them and to express opinions publicly and privately. They are free to support
causes by orderly means that do not disrupt the regular and normal operation of the
institution and that comply with the regulations relating to student activities and
conduct. At the same time it should be made clear that in their public expressions, these
students or student organizations speak only for themselves and not for the institution.
Recognized student organizations will be allowed to invite and to hear any person of

Emergency Procedures
The Mountain View College Emergency Number is 214-860-8758. College police
carry two-way radios and respond to emergency calls 24 hours a day. Red, white and
blue call boxes are located in campus parking lots; the smaller red call boxes with the
white telephone symbol and silver button are located in the hallways. These boxes
automatically notify DCCCD Central Police Dispatch and Mountain View College
Police that assistance is needed. You may also use these boxes for vehicle assistance.
CALL THE COLLEGE POLICE IMMEDIATELY TO REPORT:
Accidents, injuries, or serious illnesses. College police are CPR/AED certified and trained
to evaluate and summon appropriate outside assistance if necessary. College police will
contact the college nurse if necessary.
WHEN REPORTING AN ACCIDENT OR EMERGENCY:
• Tell police what happened. (Did someone faint? Is the person having difficulty breathing or
having a seizure?)
• Give the exact location of the victim (building and room number).
• Stay with the victim until help arrives.
OBSERVATION OF A CRIME, SUSPICIOUS PERSON, DISRUPTIVE PERSON, AUTO
ACCIDENT OR UNUSUAL ACTIVITY ON CAMPUS
• Give police the exact location of the incident (parking lot, building and/or room number).
• Be prepared to give a description of vehicles, persons involved in incident (license plate
number, color and make of vehicle, hair, height, and description of clothing).
• Observe and report the direction a suspicious person or vehicle took when leaving the scene.
EMERGENCY CALLS
Any emergency calls from an individual attempting to contact a student or staff member
should be made to the College Police Department at 214-860-8758. Any individual
coming on campus to locate a student for any reason should contact College Police (W135).
FIRE
During a fire drill or evacuation, follow the instructor’s directions since he/she is
responsible for evacuation of the class. The primary objective is to have a successful
and injury-free evacuation.
7
Emergency Procedures
EMERGENCY ALARM SIGNALS
• Upon hearing the sound of the emergency alarm system, evacuate building and
move past the yellow evacuation lines that are marked on sidewalks/roadway areas.
•
College police will give verbal notification to individuals when it is safe to return
to the building.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
•
If you locate a fire in the building, call the College Police at 214-860-8758 and give
the location of the fire.
•
Regardless of how large or small the fire, report it first; then attempt to put the
fire out if it appears possible to do so. (If the fire is the result of chemical usage
or chemical explosions, do not stay to put out the fire. Leave the area immediately.)
•
It is wise for students to be familiar with building exits from every classroom.
SPECIFIC GUIDELINES FOR BUILDING EVACUATION
UPPER FLOOR LEVELS
1. The instructor will be the first person out of the classroom and will lead students,
single file, to the nearest stairs or exit. DO NOT USE ELEVATORS, as they can
become dangerous firetraps due to fire and/or fumes.
2. Be calm and do not crowd ahead of others at the stairwell entrance and cause
a traffic jam. DO NOT PANIC.
3. Instructors should step aside and wait until all students have entered the stairwell.
Students should fill the stairs (NOT SINGLE FILE).
4. Priority should be given to upper floor student traffic if the stairwell area
becomes congested.
5. Wheelchair and blind individuals are to be guided to the area outside W200
(the part-time faculty preparation area). This stairway provides three modes of exit
on the bridge level and provides a central location for the dispatch of additional
assistance.
GROUND FLOOR LEVELS
1. The instructor will be the first person out of the classroom and will lead students
to the nearest exit.
2. DO NOT USE ELEVATORS, as they can become dangerous firetraps due to fire
and/or fumes.
8
Emergency Procedures
EVACUATION PLAN FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
• Wheelchair Students on Second Level:
Meet at elevator. A designated team will meet students near the elevator in order
to facilitate lifting and transporting the students down the stairs and to safety.
• Wheelchair Students on Main Level:
Proceed to the nearest handicapped exit. The exit between the W Building and
H Building is equipped with push-button activated automatic doors. In the event
that this door is involved with the disaster or fire, students will proceed to the west
entrances located across from the learning center or near room W181. Both of the
entrances have wheelchair-accessible ramps.
• Wheelchair Students on the East Side of Campus:
Exit the east main doors. If the doors are blocked or involved in the disaster, the
students will exit just past the Facilities area (near room E60). This exit has steps, so
a designated team will meet wheelchair students at this exit to carry the
students and their wheelchairs to safety.

The Climb to Success: Studying Tips
Learning good study skills leads to academic success. Outlined below are a few tips
that can help you to become a more effective student. Studying is a highly personalized
process involving many factors, including: class attendance, taking good lecture notes,
learning to read other sources effectively, and good test-taking skills. Developing
better study skills will enhance your college experience!
Studying tips include:
1. Create a good environment for studying
• Use your study area for studying only.
• Have all materials within easy reach.
• Limit distractions (background noise, pictures, Twitter, Facebook, etc.).
• Study at the same time and at the same location whenever possible.
• Study when you are most alert and able to concentrate.
• Use the course syllabus or text to plan your study time.
2. Develop basic skills in acquiring information
• Develop a method for effective textbook reading.
• Outline major concepts and facts.
• Develop a method for good classroom note taking.
• Reread your class notes at the end of each day, and go back to previous day’s notes if necessary.
Condense the notes into a more concise version.
• Most people learn best by DOING. Work sample problems, discuss the lecture content with a classmate
or two, then summarize aloud what you think the author was trying to convey in each chapter.
3. Prepare for exams
• Review all your class notes for the material to be covered on exams.
• Condense notes into an outline.
• Make sure you can explain each step of the outline.
• Review your text notes and outlines.
• Find out what the professor expects you to know and organize your review accordingly.
• Don't begin reviewing the night before the test. Start well in advance. Review in segments.
Save the overall review for the night before, and be sure to sleep!
• Learn good test-taking skills.

through the Office of Student Life. Contact 214-860-8685 for more information.

The Climb to Success: Stress Relief
Stress is your physical, emotional and mental response to change, regardless of whether
the change is good or bad. Without stress people wouldn’t get much done. The extra
burst of adrenaline helps you finish your paper, win at sports or meet challenges. It is
short-term physiological tensing and added mental alertness that subsides when the
challenge has been met, enabling you to relax and carry on with normal activities.
If you cannot return to a relaxed state this stress becomes negative. The changes in your
body (increased heart rate, higher blood pressure, and stomach and muscle tension) start
to take their toll, often leading to mental and physical exhaustion and illness.
College life offers many potentially stressful situations: grades, money worries, anxiety
about meeting new people and fitting in, getting a job, and relationship problems to
name a few. However, in addition to creating potentially stressful situations, college
gives you an opportunity to evaluate and change the way you manage stress.
Learning new ways to manage stress, both short-term and long-term, is important.
Short-term ways to handle stress:
• Relax where you are. Close your eyes and visualize yourself
in a pleasant setting.
• Take a break. Get some exercise or fresh air. Go to some place
private, yell or cry.
• List all the things you need to do right away. Then prioritize the list and
do only the top few. The rest are first priority tomorrow.
Long-term ways to handle stress:
• Seek your own stress level. Strive for excellence within your own limits.
• Choose your own goals. Do not live out the choices others have made for you.
• Be realistic in your expectations. Do not expect perfection from yourself
or others.
• Accept what you cannot change. Don’t spin your wheels over what
cannot be changed.
If you are experiencing a tremendous amount of stress,
visit our nurse in the Health Center or contact the
Counselor at 214-860-3640.

Important Terms and Information
• COLLEGE HOURS / SEMESTER HOURS
Credit courses use hours to measure academic progress. Each credit course is worth
credit or semester hours. The number of credit hours assigned to a course is usually
determined by the type of course and the number of hours it meets per week. For example:
a three (3) credit-hour class meets three (3) hours per week during the Fall/Spring
semesters; a four (4) credit-hour class meets six (6) hours per week (this includes lecture
and lab time).
Students enrolled in twelve (12) or more credit hours during the Fall/Spring semesters are
considered full-time students. Students enrolled in six (6) to eleven (11) hours are parttime students, and those enrolled in less than six (6) credit hours are considered less than
part-time students. Summer session students are considered full-time students when
enrolled in six (6) credit hours; part-time when enrolled between three (3) and five (5)
hours, and are considered less than part-time when enrolled in less than three (3) hours.
• PREREQUISITES
Prerequisites are requirements that must be met prior to enrolling in a specific course.
For example, the prerequisite for English 1302 is the successful completion of English 1301.
A prerequisite may be another course (high school of college), an appropriate assessment
score, or permission of the instructor. This information is found with course descriptions
in the college catalog.
• ATTENDANCE POLICY
If you are unable to attend class, you should inform your instructor(s) prior to being
absent. You are responsible for keeping up with the work missed during your absences.
There is no college-wide attendance policy; each course will have a policy determined
by the instructor.
12
The Climb to Success: Completion

Grade Point Average (GPA)
Grade points are determined by multiplying the number of points earned for each
course by the number of credit hours the course carries. A student who takes a 3 hour
course and earns an “A” accumulates 12 grade points for that course. A student’s
Grade Point Average is determined by adding up the total grade points received and
dividing by the total number of hours attempted. For example, if a student earns 48
grade points while enrolled in 15 credit hours, the student has a Grade Point Average
of 3.2 for the semester.
• Your transcript and grade report will indicate two different GPAs:
- GPA (1)
Grade point average (1) is inclusive of all courses taken that receive a performance grade
of “A”-“F.” This includes all ESOL, developmental classes, and classes with course numbers
beginning in 0.
- GPA (2)
Grade point average (2) is inclusive of all college level courses taken.
• E Grade – Developmental classes only
This grade is given when an instructor wishes to reflect a student’s progress in a developmental studies course. This grade may only be given for developmental studies courses.
An E-grade is non punitive and not computed. The E-grade indicates that a student
participated in a class according to TSI guidelines, but was unable to perform C-level
or passing work, which would qualify the student to enroll in college-level courses.
14
Grade Point Average (GPA) continued
• Incomplete (I)
This grade is given when you cannot complete the course requirements due to some
unforeseen problem. It is your responsibility to request this arrangement from the instructor.
The Incomplete Contract will state the conditions of the contract and the deadline for
completion. The incomplete grade will be converted to an agreed upon performance grade
if the contract is not completed by the set deadline.
• Withdrawal (W)
It is your responsibility to officially drop from a class or withdraw from the college. If you
stop attending class and do not drop a class or withdraw from college before the final
deadline, you will receive an “F.” If you withdraw before the official census date, you will
not receive a grade and this course will not appear on your transcript. If you withdraw
after the official census date, but before the final drop date, a “W” (withdrawal) will appear
on your transcript.
See “important dates” page in current schedule for withdrawal dates. The withdrawal/drop
process is not official until the proper drop procedure has been followed and completed
with an advisor or if eligible, on eConnect. If you go through an advisor to withdraw, pick
up an Advising Report in the Admissions and Student Records Office.
Important Information About Dropping Courses
Effective 2007, section 51.907 of the Texas Education Code applies to first-time freshman
students who enroll in a Texas public institution of higher education in the fall semester
of 2007 or thereafter. High school students currently enrolled in DCCCD Dual Credit, Early
College and Collegiate High School are waived from this requirement until they graduate
from high school.
Based on this law, DCCCD or any other Texas public institution of higher education may
not permit students to drop more than six college level credit courses during their entire
undergraduate career. All college-level courses dropped after the official drop and add
period for the course are included in the six-course limit, including courses dropped at
another Texas public institution of higher education, unless they qualify as an exception.
Contact our college’s Counseling/Advising Office for details related to exceptions or
visit www.mountainviewcollege.edu/registration.
15
Credit Class Refund Information
Refunds for drops/withdrawals are processed automatically. Students should receive
refunds in the mail four to six weeks after dropping classes if payment was made via cash
or check. Credit/debit, including Higher One card payments, are automatically credited
back to the card used. Tuition and fees paid by a scholarship will be refunded to the donor
rather than the student.

DCCCD/MVC Financial Aid Services
Room: S2030 & Windows | Phone: 972-587-2599 (Call Center)
Website:
www.mountainviewcollege.edu/financialaid
The Financial Aid Office (FAO) at Mountain View College, under the administrative
leadership of the District Office, administers grants, scholarships, work-study, and
loans for students. This aid is from federal, state, DCCCD and institutional sources,
and is awarded based on need. Grants and scholarships do not need to be repaid.
Work-study is on-campus employment, and loans are required to be repaid upon
completion of the student’s degree program, or when the student drops below halftime enrollment.
• ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR FINANCIAL AID
The primary eligibility requirements students must meet in order to receive aid include:
enrolling in at least six hours in a degree or certificate program; demonstrating need;
being a U.S. citizen; and maintaining satisfactory academic progress as defined by the
FAO. In addition, students are required to complete the printed Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the electronic application at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Questions
about the FAFSA application can be directed to the U. S. Department of Education at
1-800-4FED-AID or the MVC FAO. Approximately 2-4 weeks after completing the eligibility
requirements and receiving the FAFSA results, the FAO will send the student a letter
detailing the student’s eligibility for aid.
• GRANTS
The major grant programs available at MVC include the Federal Pell Grant, the Federal
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), and the Texas Public Education
Grant (TPEG). Students must meet the general eligibility criteria listed above and complete
the FAFSA application to be considered for all grants at Mountain View. In addition,
Mountain View’s grant program funding is limited and generally awarded to early applicants.
Students are encouraged to complete their FAFSA application by May 1 to increase their
likelihood of receiving a grant(s) for the upcoming fall and spring terms.
• SCHOLARSHIPS
The DCCCD Foundation Office makes available FAO Controlled, Foundation Controlled and
Department Controlled scholarships for students attending any of the seven DCCCD
campuses. All Foundation Scholarships require a minimum of six hours and at least a
2.0 GPA. To be considered for a Foundation Scholarship, students must submit a Foundation
Scholarship application to the Mountain View FAO by the advertised deadline. In addition,
the office administers some MVC institutional scholarships. Students should contact the
Mountain View FAO to determine scholarship criteria and application instructions.
• COLLEGE WORK-STUDY
The College Work-Study Program is designed to provide students who are eligible for
financial aid an opportunity for employment that will help offset the cost of attending
college. It also provides a meaningful work experience that enhances the student’s
education and makes a positive contribution to the student’s learning experience for
future employment. Employment referral is available to students year-round; however,
most job assignments are filled during the first two weeks of the new academic year.
This employment is continuous throughout the academic year.

DCCCD/MVC Financial Aid Services continued
• FEDERAL LOANS
Mountain View College participates in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program
referred to as the Direct Loan Program. With Direct Loans, the lender is the Department of
Education.
• DIRECT LOANS
Direct Loans, unlike grants or college work-study, are borrowed money that must be repaid
with interest. These are real loans – just like car loans or mortgages. You cannot have these
loans cancelled because you didn’t like the education you received or because you are having
financial difficulty. These loans are a serious obligation, so think about the amount you will
have to repay over the years before you take out a loan. Interested students can inquire at
the FAO or go online at this website to find out more about the application process:
www.dcccd.edu/PC/FA/Types/Loans.
• FEDERAL SUBSIDIZED STAFFORD LOAN
This loan is awarded on the basis of financial need. You won’t be charged any interest
before you begin repayment or during deferment periods. The federal government
“subsidizes” the interest during these periods.
• FEDERAL UNSUBSIDIZED STAFFORD LOAN
This loan is not awarded on the basis of financial need. You will be charged interest from
the time the loan is disbursed until it is paid in full. If you allow the interest to accrue
(accumulate) while you are in school or during periods of nonpayment, it will be capitalized.
This means that interest will be added to the principal amount of your loan, and additional
interest will be based on that higher amount.
IMPORTANT RULE CHANGE FOR FEDERAL DIRECT SUBSIDIZED LOANS
Beginning July 1, 2013, a new rule went into effect for Federal Direct Subsidized Loans.
If you are a “first-time borrower” on or after July 1, 2013, there is a limit on the maximum
period of time that you can receive a Federal Subsidized Loan. This limit is measured by time
(published length of program of study), not dollars.
• A “first-time borrower” is one who borrows after July 1, 2013, for the first time.
• A “first-time borrower” can be someone who borrowed money, paid off the entire balance, and is
borrowing after July 1, 2013.
If this limit applies to you, you cannot receive Federal Direct Subsidized Loans for more than 150
percent of the published length of study. This includes certificate programs as well. Please note,
this time limit does NOT apply to Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans or Direct PLUS Loans.
The maximum eligibility period equals 150 percent of the current length of your program
of study, which also includes certificates.
Why is this Important?
• Your maximum eligibility period can change if you switch to a program that has a different length.
Changing programs multiple times can impact your eligibility.
• Enrolling or transferring into a shorter-length program could cause you to lose your interest subsidy
when previously the Department of Education would have paid your interest.
• Loss of subsidy is permanent. In other words, if you lose your interest subsidy, you cannot get it back.
• Your Subsidized Eligibility Usage period is tracked for each semester in which you take out a
subsidized loan.

COLLEGE TERMS
YOU SHOULD KNOW:
GPA
OR GRADE POINT AVERAGE IS
calculated by dividing the total amount
of grade points earned by the total
amount of credit hours attempted. A grade
point average may range from 0.0 to a 4.0.
Important
Terms
For example, a student who takes a three (3) hour
course and earns an “A” accumulates 12 grade points
for that course. A student’s grade point average is
determined by adding up the total grade points
received and dividing by the total number of hours
attempted.
If a student earns 48 grade points while enrolled in 15
credit hours, the student has a grade point average of
3.2 for the semester.

Excerpts
Code of
student
conduct
The complete document can be viewed at:
www.mountainviewcollege.edu/codeofconduct
Educational opportunities are offered by the Dallas County Community College District
without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation,
genetic information, gender identity or gender expression.
PURPOSE
The purpose of policies about student conduct and discipline are to provide guidelines for
the educational environment of the District. This environment views students in a holistic
manner, encouraging and inviting them to learn and grow independently. Such an environment
presupposes both rights and responsibilities. Free inquiry and expression are essential parts
of this freedom to learn, to grow, and to develop. However, this environment also demands
appropriate opportunities and conditions in the classroom, on the campus, and in the larger
community. Students must exercise these freedoms with responsibility.
STANDARDS OF DUE PROCESS
Students who allegedly violate District policy are entitled to fair and equitable proceedings.
The focus of inquiry in disciplinary proceedings shall be the guilt or innocence of those
accused of violating disciplinary regulations. Formal rules of evidence shall not be applicable,
nor shall deviations from prescribed procedures necessarily invalidate a decision or proceeding,
unless significant prejudice to a student respondent or the college may result.
ACCOUNTABILITY
Students may be accountable to both civil authorities and to the college for acts that
constitute violations of law and this code. Disciplinary action at the college shall normally
proceed during the pendency of criminal proceedings and shall not be subject to challenge
on the ground that criminal charges involving the same incident have been dismissed or
reduced. Students who participate in a college course through the R. Jan LeCroy Center
for Educational Telecommunications are subject to the code of student conduct and are
assigned a college for that purpose.
RESPONSIBILITY
Each student shall be charged with notice and knowledge of the contents and provisions of
the District's policies, procedures, and regulations concerning student conduct. All students
shall obey the law, show respect for properly constituted authority, and observe correct
standards of conduct. In addition to activities prohibited by law, the following types of
behavior shall be prohibited:
1. Intentionally causing physical harm to any person on college premises or at college-sponsored
activities, or intentionally or recklessly causing reasonable apprehension of such harm or hazing.
2. Unauthorized use, possession, or storage of any weapon on college premises or at college-sponsored
activities.
3. Intentionally initiating or causing to be initiated any false report, warning, or threat of fire, explosion,
or other emergency on college premises or at college-sponsored activities.
177
4.
Intentionally interfering with normal college or college-sponsored activities, including but not
limited to: studying, teaching, research, college administration, or fire, security, or emergency services.
5.
Knowingly violating the terms of any disciplinary sanction imposed in accordance with District
policies, regulations, and procedures.
6.
Unauthorized distribution or possession for purposes of distribution of any controlled substance
or illegal drug on college premises or at college-sponsored activities.
7.
Intentionally or maliciously furnishing false information to the college.
8.
Sexual harassment.
9.
Forgery, unauthorized alteration, or unauthorized use of any college document or instrument of
identification.
10.
Unauthorized use of computer hardware of software.
11.
Scholastic dishonestly shall constitute a violation of these rules and regulations and is punishable
as prescribed by Board policies. Scholastic dishonesty shall include, but not be limited to, cheating
on a test, plagiarism, and collusion.
“Cheating on a test” shall include:
a. Copying from another student’s test paper.
b. Using test materials not authorized by the person administering the test.
c. All forms of academic dishonesty, including: cheating, fabrication, facilitating academic dishonesty,
plagiarism, and collusion.
d. Collaborating with or seeking aid from another student during a test without permission from the
test administrator.
e. Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, or soliciting, in whole or in part, the contents of an
unadministered test.
f. The unauthorized transporting or removal, in whole or in part, of the contents of the unadministered test.
g. Substituting for another student, or permitting another student to substitute for one’s self, to take a test.
h. Bribing another person to obtain an unadministered test or information about an unadministered test.
“Plagiarism” shall be defined as the appropriating, buying, receiving as a gift, or obtaining
by any means another’s work and the unacknowledged submission or incorporation of it in
one's own written work.
“Collusion” shall be defined as the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing
written work for fulfillment of course requirements.
12.
Intentionally and substantially interfering with the freedom of expression of others on college
premises or at college-sponsored activities.
13.
Theft of property or of services on college premises or at college-sponsored activities; having
possession of stolen property on college premises or at college-sponsored activities.
14.
Intentionally destroying or damaging college property or property of others on college premises or
at college-sponsored activities.
15.
Failure to comply with the direction of college officials, including campus security/safety officers,
acting in performance of their duties.
16.
Violation of published college regulations or policies. Such regulations or policies may include
those relating to entry and use of college facilities, use of vehicles and media equipment, campus
demonstrations, misuse of identification cards, and smoking.
178
17.
Use or possession of any controlled substance or illegal drug on college premises or at collegesponsored activities.
18.
Unauthorized presence on or use of college premises.
19.
Nonpayment or failure to pay any debt owed to the college with intent to defraud.
(Appropriate personnel at a college may be designated by college or District officials to notify
students of dishonored checks, library fines, nonpayment of loans, and similar debts. Such personnel
may temporarily block admission or readmission of a student until the matter is resolved. If the
matter is not settled within a reasonable time, such personnel shall refer the matter to the DA
for appropriate action under this code. Such referral does not prevent or suspend proceeding with
other appropriate civil or criminal remedies by college personnel.)
20.
Use or possession of an alcoholic beverage on college premises with the exception of:
a. specific beverage-related courses within the El Centro food service program, or
b. a course that requires the use of alcohol and is approved by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement
Officers’ Standards and Education.
DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS INVESTIGATION, CONFERENCE AND COMPLAINT
Any student violating this policy shall be subject to disciplinary sanctions including suspension,
in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. A “violation” means an act or omission which
is contrary to a published college regulation or policy.
Sanctions for violations of prohibited conduct for (1) through (6) may result in expulsion;
for (7) through (13) may result in suspension; for (14) through (20) may result in sanctions
other than expulsion or suspension.
Repeated or aggravated violations of any provision of this code may also result in expulsion
or suspension or in the imposition of such lesser penalties as are appropriate.
When the Designated Administrator (DA) directly responsible for student affairs or discipline
receives information that a student has allegedly violated a published college regulation or
policy, the DA shall investigate the alleged violation, which may include a discussion with
the student. After completing the preliminary investigation, the DA may:
1. Dismiss the allegation as unfounded, either before or after conferring with the student; or
2. Proceed administratively, which includes a summons, conference, and disposition.
3. Upon approval, prepare a complaint based on the alleged violation for use in disciplinary hearings
along with a list of witnesses and documentary evidence supporting the allegation.
4. The DA will notify the individual who filed the complaint of the disposition of the complaint.
If the DA dismisses the allegation, the individual may appeal, in writing, to the President within
five working days after disposition.
The president or a designee may suspend a student immediately and without prior notice for
an interim period pending disciplinary proceedings, when there is evidence that the continued
presence of the student on college premises poses a substantial threat to himself or herself, to
others, or to the stability and continuance of normal college functions. A student who is
suspended on an interim basis shall be given an opportunity to appear before the president or
a designee within five working days from the effective date of the interim suspension.
A hearing with the president shall be limited to the following issues only:
1. The reliability of the information concerning the student’s conduct, including the matter of his or
her identity; and
2. Whether the conduct and surrounding circumstances reasonably indicate that the student’s
continued presence on college premises poses a substantial threat to himself or herself, to others,
or to the stability and continuance of normal college functions.
179
After the hearing, the president or designee may modify the interim suspension as reasonable
to protect the student, public, and college.
No person shall search a student’s personal possessions for the purpose of enforcing this code
unless the student's prior permission has been obtained or unless a law enforcement officer
conducts the search as authorized by law.
SUMMONS
The DA shall summon a student regarding an alleged violation of this code by sending the
student a letter. The letter shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested,
addressed to the student at his or her last known address as it appears in the records of
the Registrar’s Office or shall be delivered personally to the student.
DISPOSITION
At a conference with a student in connection with an alleged violation of this code, the DA
shall provide the student with a copy of this code and discuss administrative disposition of
the alleged violation.
1. If a student accepts the administrative disposition, the student shall sign a statement that he or
she understands the charges, his or her right to a hearing or to waive same, and the penalty or
penalties imposed, and that he or she waives the right to appeal. The student shall return the
signed form by 5:00 p.m. of the day following administrative disposition. Failure to return this form,
waives the student's right to appeal.
2. If a student refuses administrative disposition of the alleged violation, the student is entitled to a
hearing. The DA shall note the date of refusal in writing and the student shall acknowledge in
writing such date.
3. Administrative disposition means:
a. The voluntary acceptance of the penalty or penalties provided in this code.
b. Other appropriate penalties administered by the DA.
c. Without recourse by the student to hearing procedures provided herein.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH NOTICE
A student who fails to appear after proper notice and without good cause will be deemed to
have pleaded guilty to the violation pending against the student. The committee shall impose
appropriate penalty and notify the student in the same manner as the notice of hearing.
AUTHORIZED DISCIPLINARY PENALTIES

penalties for violation of a Board policy, college regulation, or administrative rule:
1. An “admonition” means a written reprimand from the DA to the student on whom it is imposed.

STUDENT GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
DEFINITION
A student grievance is a College District-related problem or condition which a student
believes to be unfair, inequitable, discriminatory, or a hindrance to the educational process.
A grievance also includes discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin,
sex, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
SCOPE
The student grievance procedure is not intended to supplant the Student Code of Conduct,
which allows the student procedural due process in disciplinary proceedings initiated by the
College. This student grievance procedure is designed to provide the student with the
opportunity to file a grievance, as defined above, and to provide a process for resolution
of the grievance. A student may file a grievance concerning a policy, procedure, rule, or
grade if discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability,
age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression is the basis for the grievance.
This student grievance procedure is not designed to include changes in policy nor does it apply
to grading practices. Recommendations for initiating new policy or changing established
policy are handled through normal administrative channels. A grade dispute that is not based
on an allegation of discrimination is handled under the Grade Dispute Resolution.
181
GRADE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
This policy is applicable to a student who receives a failing grade based upon scholastic
dishonesty, and the student’s faculty member is not seeking suspension of the student under
the Code of Student Conduct. This policy is not applicable to a student who wishes to appeal
a temporary or final grade resulting from allegations of scholastic dishonesty and for whom
suspension is sought under the Code of Student Conduct in this manual. No student may
drop a course if an allegation of scholastic dishonesty is pending in the course, or if the
student has received a failing grade in the course based upon scholastic dishonesty. Students
who wish to dispute a credit course grade may sequentially follow the steps below unless the
dispute is resolved at a preceding step:
1. Discuss the dispute with the instructor who awarded the grade.
2. Discuss the appeal with the appropriate division dean.
3. Appeal, in writing, to the appropriate vice president.
4. Appeal, in writing, to the college president whose decision is final.
A student will receive a written response within ten (10) working days after a written
appeal. The appropriate faculty member will be notified in writing regarding the resolution
of the matter. A grade dispute will not be considered later than the end of the semester
following the semester in which the grade was awarded. In a summer session, the dispute
must be initiated by no later than the end of the following fall semester.
By law, the Board is not required to take any action concerning a grade dispute, but is
required to listen if the grade dispute is presented at a public meeting.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT
The student grievance procedure is not applicable to complaints of sexual harassment.
All students shall report complaints of sexual harassment informally to location human
resources personnel or location representatives selected by the highest level administrator
at the location, or formally to the Vice Chancellor of Educational Affairs as provided in the
sexual harassment procedure.
