These matters are taken directly to the college official in charge of discipline for immediate action. During an investigation, students may be suspended from the College and/or Residence Halls.
Expelled or suspended students found on any Baker College premises will be considered trespassing and treated as such. Expelled or suspended individuals may make appointments by phone during regular business hours with appropriate college administrators if necessary. All tuition, housing fees, and deposits will be forfeited.
In compliance with housing policy, students dismissed from housing for disciplinary reasons must vacate the housing facility within 24 hours of notification of the infraction. In addition, all visitation rights to any Baker College residence facilities are revoked.
Although most student infractions are dealt with on a one-to-one basis, there is a provision for a formal disciplinary appeal process. Baker College has established the Baker College Disciplinary Appeal Process for students who find themselves in conflict with Baker College standards. The Baker College Disciplinary Appeal Process is described in the Disciplinary Appeal Process section. Please note: Original discipline decision will remain in effect until the appeal has been completed and a final decision has been issued.
