College disciplinary regulations are set forth in writing in order to give students general notice of prohibited conduct. These rules and regulations should be read broadly and are not designed to define prohibited conduct in exhaustive terms. It is recognized by the College that students are expected to adhere to PCC regulations and to obey the laws of the larger community and to take personal responsibility for their conduct. A student is therefore subject to two sources of authority: civil-criminal authority and College authority.

Violation of any municipal ordinance, law or regulation of the State of Colorado, or law or regulation of the United States which may cause harm or endangerment to self or others, or somehow compromises the educational mission of the College, may result in disciplinary action. The College does not normally take disciplinary action for off-campus violations, but it retains the right to act in special cases. Disciplinary action imposed by Pueblo Community College may precede, and be in addition to, any penalty that might be imposed by an off-campus authority.

When accused of a violation, a student has a right to review the evidence against him or her, but this does not necessarily mean the right to confront a witness. An attempt will be made to resolve all cases at the lowest level possible.
