Get Involved!
If a student is found responsible for violating the Code or Residence Hall Rules and has been evicted from the Residence Halls or removed from campus, the student has a right to an appeal hearing. The members of the hearing assists the college as well as Residence Life to maintain a healthy academic community. The board consists of three students, three faculty and one support staff, who are given the authority to review the case and determine if the prior decision was accurate and/or decide if the sanctions assigned were appropriate. The Dean of Students Office entrust these students to carefully deliberate over issues of responsibility and to make sanctioning recommendations based upon their findings. These recommendations can range from, probation to eviction to suspension or expulsion from the college. If you are interested in serving on a board, please contact our office by e-mail at deanofstudents@centralaz.edu or by phone at 520-494-5341.
Student Code of Conduct

Behavior Intervention Team (BIT)
The mission of the Central Arizona Collegeās Behavioral Intervention Team is to provide a proactive and supportive multidisciplinary team approach to prevention, assessment, and intervention of situations or individuals that may pose a threat to the safety and wellbeing of a student(s) or the campus community.
An incident report triggers the BIT response.Ā Incident reports detailing any concerning behavior of a student may be tagged for BIT review.Ā Once a report has been tagged for BIT review, the Chair will utilize the National Behavioral Intervention Team Association (NaBITA) Threat Assessment Tool to assess whether or not there is an immediate risk/reason for concern. Ā If so, the team will be called to meet immediately. If not, the case will be reviewed at the next regularly scheduled meeting.Ā The case may also be assigned for general conduct investigation.
More information about the team can be found here.
