Behavior that disrupts the teaching/learning process will not be tolerated. A variety of behaviors can be disruptive in a classroom; the more serious examples include belligerent behavior, abuse, profanity, and /or threatening behavior toward the instructor or toward other students. A student who fails to respond to reasonable faculty direction regarding classroom behavior and/or refuses to participate in classroom activities may be dismissed from class. During the period of suspension, the student shall not return to class without the concurrence of the instructor. Suspension by the instructor shall be considered an excused absence. Further details appear in the LAVC catalog pages 175 and 176.
