Student Services A-Z
The College reserves the right to evaluate and document special cases and to refuse or revoke admission if the College determines that the applicant or student poses a threat, is a potential danger, is significantly disruptive to the College community, or if such refusal or revocation is considered to be in the best interest of the College. The College also reserves the right to refuse admission for applicants that have been expelled or suspended from, or determined to be a threat, potential danger or significantly disruptive, by another college. Students whose admission is revoked after enrollment must be given due process.
This provision applies to individuals who are in applicant status or those who are enrolled for a future semester. In extreme cases, the College has the right to apply these provisions to dis-enroll currently enrolled students during a given semester session (examples are convicted sex offenders and highly dangerous or disruptive students.)
Behaviors that present a threat or a potential danger to the College community or other behaviors where it is considered to be in the best interest of the College to refuse admission or revoke enrollment are defined as, but not limited to:
These procedures may also apply when CVCC has received documentation that the applicant/enrolled student has been expelled, suspended, banned from or determined to be a threat, potential danger or significantly disruptive at another college.
Upon notification to the Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs (VPASA) or designee that the applicant/enrolled student has exhibited threatening, violent, intimidating or disruptive behavior as defined above or that the applicant/enrolled student has been expelled, suspended, banned from or determined to be a threat, potential danger or significantly disruptive at another college, the VPASA or designee will conduct an investigation to evaluate the circumstances. After the investigation, if the College determines that the applicant is a threat or potential danger to the college community or if such refusal is considered to be in the best interest to the College, the student will be notified as follows:
After the investigation, the applicant will receive written notification at the home address listed in the student information system stating that admission to the College has been denied. The notification will state the denial is based on the College’s determination that the applicant represents a threat or potential danger to the College or that the refusal of admission is considered to be in the best interest of the College. A service indicator will be placed on the applicant’s record which will prevent the applicant from registering for classes.
An applicant who becomes an enrolled student will receive written notification at the home address listed in the student information system stating that admission to the College is revoked and enrollment for the current or future semester is withdrawn. The notification will state the decision is based on the College’s determination that the applicant represents a threat or potential danger to the College and/or their revoked admission and withdrawn enrollment is considered to be in the best interest of the College. The written notification will detail the procedures for due process and will provide the individual with explicit instructions on the appeal process. The College will reserve the class enrollment until the appeal process is complete, but the individual will not be allowed to attend class during the appeal process.
The individual is required to initiate the appeal process in writing within ten (10) calendar days of the notification by the College (as indicated by the date of the written notification from the College) in order to receive consideration to remain enrolled. Absent extreme extenuating circumstances, if the enrolled student fails to follow the appeal process within ten (10) calendars days of notification from the College he/she will forfeit the right to appeal, which will result in the College sending to the student written notification of administrative withdrawal of all current and future classes at the College, and revocation of admission for future semesters. The College will make every effort to expedite the hearing timeline.
