Community Service (Level 1 Sanction): Students may, in response to a student code of conduct violation, be required to perform a certain number of community service hours within a specific and targeted time period. 3. Online Courses (Behavioral Remediation) (Level 1 Sanction): Students may, in response to a student code of conduct violation, be required to complete specific behavioral remediation courses (i.e., Alcohol 101, Drug Abuse 101, Plagiarism 101, etc…) . 4. Written Work (Remedy)-- (Level 1 Sanction): Students may, in response to a student code of conduct violation, may be required to produce written pieces of work that specifically address the infraction and the harm that it caused. 5. Probation (Level 2 Sanction): A strong restriction designed to encourage and require a student to cease and desist from violating college regulations. A student under this restriction is notified in writing. A student on Disciplinary Probation is warned that:
a. Any further violations on his/her part while under probation will lead to an extension of his/her restriction, Disciplinary Suspension, or Disciplinary Dismissal.
b. He/she may not hold any office, elective or appointive, in any student organization.

Immediate Temporary Suspension (Level 3 Sanction): Is imposed in a situation when a student's presence poses a continuing danger to persons or property or an ongoing threat of disrupting the academic process of the teaching- learning environment. Immediate temporary suspension may be imposed for a specific period of time in order to ascertain information and resolve conflicts in an effort to avoid official suspension though individual student situations may ultimately result in suspension. 7. Suspension (Level 3 Sanction): The removal of a student from rolls of Lawson State Community College for a stated period of time, usually not less than one semester/term. At the end of the designated period, a student must make formal application for re-admission. 8. Dismissal (Level 3 Sanction): The strongest disciplinary restriction. A penalty this severe generally indicates that a student may not return to the college unless he/she is granted special dispensation from the President of the college or his designee. Disciplinary dismissal would apply to a student who is guilty of chronic violations or a major breach of conduct so that rehabilitation possibilities appear to be remote. The college recognizes the right of both substantive and procedural due process in any matter involving a student misconduct violation where a sanction may be imposed. A student is entitled to a notice, a hearing, and an explanation before receiving a suspension or expulsion from the college. A student facing suspension or expulsion has the following due process options:
