Reporting a Violation
Campus Security Services works closely with the community to ensure an effective and efficient service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. When an incident occurs, the first step is to involve Campus Security Services and notify them of the alleged violations and/or misconduct.
The College prohibits reprisals against individuals who utilize the Student Code policy or participate in proceedings in good faith, with violators subject to disciplinary action.
Additionally, the College recognizes that concerns about disciplinary action for substance use may prevent students from reporting incidents, especially those involving gender-based and sexual violence, student athletes, and/or students who reside at the Residence. To support and encourage disclosure, the College assures students that they will not face disciplinary consequences for substance use at the time of the reported incident.

Other Important Considerations

The arrow leads to:
If behaviour improves: “Behaviour improves (closed)”
If behaviour does not improve:
Box: “Issue a second Warning or Temporary Dismissal form (Faculty/Staff addresses the behaviour and provides resources and supports)”
Then arrow leads to:

If not:
Box: “Issue a third Warning or Temporary Dismissal form (Faculty/Staff addresses the behaviour). If this is the third misconduct on the student’s file, it will make to a *Major Case”
