Student Employment, Discipline

It is the policy of Carroll College that students may be disciplined for job-related reasons, up to and including termination. “Job-related reasons” means grounds for taking disciplinary action based on failure to satisfactorily perform job duties; disruption of the College’s operations; failure to meet the expectations or the goals of a plan of improvement; violation of the College’s procedures, policies, rules, or performance standards; or other legitimate business reasons.

Discipline shall be commensurate with the seriousness of the offense. For example, the College, at its discretion, may use corrective counseling or an oral warning before more severe disciplinary action is taken for routine performance deficiencies and lesser offenses. More severe disciplinary action, up to and including termination, will be taken for more serious offenses (which may include, but not limited to theft, illegal use of alcohol or other drugs, failure to report for work, contract violation, or inappropriate use of technology), and repeated lesser offenses (which may include, but not limited to paperwork errors, arriving late or leaving work early or inappropriate behaviors that compromise the integrity of the employee in the position).
