If it is determined that a student may have violated the Student Code of Conduct, the student will receive notice of the policy violation(s) in writing through MCCN email, unless it is deemed appropriate to communicate the possible violations in another way. It is the expectation of the College that a student will be regularly monitoring their official College email. A student’s lack of checking their email does not constitute lack of notice by the College.
Rights of the Student: When accused of a violation of college policy, for which sanctions may be imposed, the student/student organization shall be entitled to the following:
To be notified in writing of the specific violations to be resolved.
To be considered not responsible until proven responsible by a preponderance of the evidence presented and to have only relevant evidence presented at a hearing.
To have the hearing held with the understanding of fundamental fairness throughout the process, eliminating conflicts of interest and personal bias.
To present witness statements and other evidence in his/her defense.
To have an advisor/support person of their choice (see guidelines below).
To be informed of all decisions within a reasonable time.
To appeal any decision resulting from a formal hearing
A student who is dismissed from, or voluntarily withdraws from, a program with pending conduct allegations that have not been resolved cannot be re-admitted, or gain admission to another MCCN program. The case must be resolved prior to consideration of admittance.
