To maintain an atmosphere on the Coahoma Community College on-campus and host sites
that is conducive to academic pursuits and fosters the growth and development of all
members of the college community, a series of procedures and regulations governing
student conduct and behavior has been established. Included in the procedures and
regulations, which collectively are known as the Student Code of Conduct, are statements
concerning expectations regarding student conduct, guarantees of student rights and
responsibilities, and procedures for adjudicating allegations concerning student misconduct.
The penalties for violation of these regulations are also contained in the Student
Code of Conduct.
All students at Coahoma Community College are expected to read and become familiar
with all sections of the Student Code of Conduct. Each student is individually responsible
for adhering to the regulations contained in the Code. A student who is found to have
violated these regulations will be subject to disciplinary action, ranging from a
disciplinary warning to suspension/ expulsion. The severity of the sanction is dependent
upon the severity of the offense as determined by the judicial officer, Director of
Student Engagement designee, or the appropriate judicial council.
Discipline will be levied in all instances except those in which a qualified, licensed,
mental health professional has communicated to the college in writing that the actions
were caused by severe psychological problems sufficient to warrant the immediate withdrawal
of the individual from the college. In each instance, the individual may not re-enroll
at Coahoma Community College for at least two full academic semesters and then only
upon the written recommendation of the mental health professional.
NOTE: Refer to the Student Handbook for a detailed explanation of the Code of Conduct.
