Other Policies and Procedures

Adding or Deleting a Varsity Sport

Each fall, Westmont will notify students of the opportunity to request the addition or deletion of a varsity sport. Students may obtain a copy of this procedure and of a Varsity Sport Request form from the athletic director’s office. In order for Westmont to consider adding or deleting a varsity sport as early as the following academic year, you should complete the Varsity Sport Request form and submit it to the athletic director by Oct. 31.

All requests will be reviewed by the college’s Title IX officer in light of federal requirements. They will be evaluated by the athletic director and the faculty athletic committee, which will make a recommendation to the provost. Any request approved by the provost will be forwarded to the budget committee for funding consideration and a recommendation to the president. The president will make a final recommendation to the board of trustees.

The timing of the implementation of a decision to add a varsity sport will take into account funding, hiring of qualified personnel, compliance with Title IX, and college-wide programmatic needs.

Chapel Attendance Policy

Every student will begin each semester with zero absences.
Twelve chapels may be missed per semester. The only excused absences are:

Severe medical conditions which temporarily affects chapel attendance. Condition must be verified in writing by an attending physician or by an e-mail to our office from the campus physician;
Other extenuating circumstances, such as family emergencies, death, injury, please come in to the campus pastor’s office within a week of the requested absence;
Students with children;
Students away from campus on an authorized academic field trip. Please note: You will not be cleared if the professor has not notified us;
Students cleared by the education department to fulfill student teaching or observation assignments. Please note: You will not be cleared if the department has not given us prior notification;
Athletes, attending away games on recognized intercollegiate sports teams. Please note: You will not be cleared if the department has not notified us.
Second semester seniors are not required to attend chapel (but we hope you will!).

Note:

It is solely the responsibility of each Westmont student to keep track of chapel misses.

The campus pastor’s office keeps a chapel attendance Web site as a courtesy to students in order to check how many chapels they have missed. The campus pastor’s office is not responsible for any technical problems with the Web site. It remains the student’s sole responsibility, with our without the Web site to know the status of his or her chapel attendance record.
An e-mail notice will be sent out to students after they miss six chapels. A letter will be sent out from the campus pastor’s office after a student has had more than nine misses. A letter will be sent out from the Office of Student Life along with an e-mail from the campus pastor’s office if a student misses 13 chapels. This will be done as a courtesy and an invitation to talk with the campus pastor about any problems students may have in meeting the requirement. However, notice or no notice, it remains solely the student’s responsibility to know the status of his or her chapel attendance record.
Students who exceed the number of allowed misses will not be allowed to register at Westmont for the following semester.

If a student exceeds their allowable 12 misses they will be notified by letter from the Office of Student Life and by e-mail from the campus pastor’s office. This notification will inform the student that they have exceeded their 12 misses and are therefore ineligible to register for the next semester. Additionally the registrar’s office will be notified and a chapel hold will be place on the student’s record. if a student misses more than the allowed absences, after having registered for the next semester, a chapel hold will be placed on the student’s registration. Chapel holds can only be lifted after the student has either cleared their attendance record or has submitted a chapel appeal and has met with the committee reviewing appeals.
Students unable to enroll for the following semester may make an appointment in the campus pastor’s office to meet with the appeals committee. Appeals must be made in writing. A Chapel Appeals form can be found on the campus pastor’s Web site and is used for submitting chapel appeals. This form must be submitted to our office before making an appointment with the appeals committee.
If a student fails to clear their chapel attendance they must sit out a semester. If, after sitting out a semester, a student wishes to return to Westmont, he or she will be required to reapply for admission. Because of full enrollment, it is crucial that the admissions office be contacted for information regarding procedures and deadlines and that these procedures and deadlines be met in a timely manner! Students enrolled in off-campus programs should take careful note that they will not be able to participate if they fail to meet the chapel attendance requirement during the previous semester.

Furthermore, violations of criminal statutes subject you to penalties of up to 10 years imprisonment depending on the nature of the offense.

E-mail

Every enrolled student is provided with a Westmont e-mail account (username@westmont.edu). All student e-mail is the primary method used by the college officials to communicate important messages to all students. It is every student's responsibility to check e-mail regularly for official college correspondence. The use of all-student e-mail is reserved for faculty, staff and official student organizations. This also applies to class e-mail lists (first, second, third, and fourth year) unless utilized for academic related assignments. Clubs, ministries and other student groups looking to notify students about events or meetings are invited to communicate through the Current Students page on the Web site, which the campus life office updates daily. This page serves as a hub for student information. Students can also join electronic mailing lists for groups with which they are involved.

Fund Raising

You will receive instruction and guidance from your staff director/coordinator to ensure the institution approves your fundraising. Guidelines can be found here. As well as raising funds from friends, family and home churches, you may need to coordinate with the Office of College Advancement (OCA). Contact Janna Mori, director of donor relations, at x6833 or jmori@westmont.edu. New or not-approved student groups with fundraising goals will find an application to fundraise and directions for pursing approval online at the URL above.

Harassment

Westmont College is committed to providing a learning and work environment free of unlawful harassment. In keeping with this commitment, the college prohibits and will not tolerate unlawful harassment because of sex (which includes sexual harassment, gender harassment and harassment due to pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions) and harassment because of race, religious creed, color, national origin or ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, marital status, age, sexual orientation or any other basis protected by federal, state, or local law, ordinance or regulation. ALL SUCH HARASSMENT IS UNLAWFUL. While this policy is directed at unlawful harassment, members of the college community are cautioned against any conduct that creates a hostile work environment, whether or not the behavior is based on the legally protected categories outlined in this policy (i.e., sex, race, etc.). Such conduct, while not unlawful can interfere with work performance, and does not reflect the quality of environment the college is committed to providing for all members of its community.

Prohibited unlawful harassment includes, but is not limited to, the following behavior:

Verbal conduct such as epithets, derogatory jokes or comments, slurs or unwanted sexual advances, invitations or comments;
Visual conduct such as derogatory and/or sexually-oriented posters, photography, cartoons, drawings or gestures;
Physical conduct such as sexually-oriented gestures, assault, unwanted touching, blocking normal movement, or interfering with work because of sex, race or any other protected basis;
Threats and demands to submit to sexual requests as a condition of continued employment or academic advancement, or to avoid some other loss, and offers of employment benefits in return for sexual favors; and
Retaliation for having reported or threatened to report harassment.

Unlawful harassment occurs most often as a result of repeated instances of the types of behaviors listed above. However, members of the community should be aware that a single instance of the described prohibited behaviors, where sufficiently outrageous, can amount to unlawful harassment.

It is Westmont College’s policy to prohibit unlawful harassment within the campus community of faculty, staff, students, independent contractors, and guests by any person and in any form, and to apply the procedures outlined below in responding to any complaints of harassment. (The procedures outlined here shall preempt any other procedures set forth in various handbooks that may be deemed inconsistent with these.) Westmont is committed to investigate promptly any complaints of harassment. Where unlawful harassment is found to have occurred, the college will take appropriate disciplinary action reasonably calculated to end the harassment, up to and including termination of employment, termination of contract, or expulsion from the college.

A complaint of harassment may be reported to any of the following complaint recipients: the director or associate director of human resources, the immediate supervisor, the department chair, a resident director, the college’s Title IX officer, any dean or vice president, or the president. (A list of the people currently occupying these positions can be found in the catalog or received from the Office of the President or the Department of Human Resources.)

A complaint recipient will notify the college’s Title IX officer whenever a complaint of harassment has been received. The Title IX officer shall ensure that the complainant promptly receives a copy of this policy and is clearly informed of his or her rights to assistance.

The Title IX officer will work with the president, dean of faculty, and dean of students to ensure that:

A complaint of harassment is promptly, fully and effectively investigated;
Whatever action is deemed necessary to end the unlawful harassment will be taken; and
The determination and imposition of any sanctions is handled in accordance with existing procedures spelled out in the relevant handbook (e.g., Faculty Handbook provisions on Discharge for Cause).

Confidentiality for both the complainant and the accused shall be encouraged and maintained as appropriate and to the extent allowed under the circumstances and by law.

The Title IX officer will keep the complainant informed about the process of investigating and responding to the complaint. After action on a complaint is concluded, the complainant will be notified whether or not discipline will be imposed. The college will not tolerate any reprisal or retaliation against someone who has submitted (or indicated an intent to submit) a complaint in good faith.

Westmont encourages all members of the community to report any incidents of unlawful harassment immediately so that complaints can be resolved quickly. In addition, any member of the community who believes that he or she has been harassed or retaliated against for resisting or complaining about harassment may file a complaint with appropriate government agencies. The nearest offices are listed in the telephone directory. The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights, the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing investigate and prosecute complaints of prohibited harassment; currently, the statute of limitations for filing a claim with these agencies is 180 days, 300 days, and one year, respectively.

Medical Withdrawal

Policy Statement
Our residential educational environment is designed to assist students in pursuing their academic careers to their fullest potential. While the college provides certain health related services, it is not equipped to provide the continuity of prolonged, medical and/or therapeutic services and assistance that may be necessary for some students. In such situations, it may become necessary for students to withdraw from campus.

Westmont reserves the right to require students to withdraw from the college or to restrict their access to the residential environment when the student’s behavior or condition pose a direct threat of self-harm or harm to others (Direct threat means that the student’s continued participation in the college program presents a high probability of substantial harm to self or others in the college community or its visitors); or unreasonably and significantly disrupts or interferes with the ability of other students, faculty or staff to participate in the educational program and/or perform duties imposed by the college. To that end, the college implements the following policy and procedures.

Involuntary Withdrawal Procedures
Emergency Interim Removal or Restricted Access

If, for reasons pertaining to mental or physical health, a student’s behavior poses an immediate and direct threat to themselves or others, or causes significant disruption to the community, the vice president for student life (which for the purposes of this policy also includes his or her designee) may remove the student or restrict the student’s access to college facilities, property, classes, housing, services, and activities, as appropriate, for an interim period while a final determination of the student’s status is being decided.
Every attempt will be made by the vice president for student life to meet with the student before deciding on an interim removal or restricting his/her access. A decision for an emergency interim removal or restriction of access will be communicated in writing to the student and others as appropriate.
The emergency interim removal or restricted access will remain in effect until a final decision has been made pursuant to the procedures below, unless, before a final decision is made, the vice president for student life determines that the reasons for imposing the interim removal or restricted access no longer exist.
Hospitalization or emergency room visits for behaviors or a condition that poses an immediate and direct threat to themselves or others, or that have caused significant disruption to the community, will result in an automatic emergency interim withdrawal. The vice president for student life will authorize the student’s return to campus when the student is capable of submitting information for the purposes of assessment and able to participate in the process of determining whether voluntary or involuntary withdrawal is appropriate under this policy.

Assessment for Purposes of Involuntary Withdrawal
The vice president for student life will confer with a Student Care Team (SCT) to evaluate whether a student should be involuntarily withdrawn from the campus. The vice president for student life may also choose to consult with additional personnel in accordance with the needs of each individual case, but in all cases the SCT will include the following college personnel (or their designee):

Director of the Counseling Center
Director of the Health Center
Director of Advising and Disability Services;
Associate Dean for Residence Life
College Counsel

The purpose of the evaluation is to determine:

The nature, duration and severity of the risk of the student’s presence on campus
The probability that potentially threatening injury or significant disruption to the educational program will occur; and
Whether reasonable modifications of policies, practices or procedures will sufficiently mitigate the risk posed by the student’s return to participation in the college program.

The vice president for student life, in consultation with the SCT, will require the student to be assessed. The vice president for student life may require assessment off campus, at the student’s expense, by an appropriate health care provider. In such cases, the vice president for student life will notify parents, guardians and other appropriate persons.

The vice president for student life will:

Arrange for an appropriate review process to include receiving, investigating, and examining appropriate records and documentation;
Secure a release of information to allow health care professionals to share information with the college (The vice president for student life will make all withdrawal determinations, in part, based on the reasonable medical judgment of health care professionals, relying on the most current medical knowledge or the best objective and professional evidence available. The college will make decisions on withdrawals even where the student refuses to undergo mandated assessment or provide a release of information allowing medical and mental health professionals to share information with the college. Students are strongly encouraged to cooperate fully with college officials under this policy so that decisions can most fully reflect their interests and concerns.)
Provide a hearing opportunity for the student to meet with the vice president for student life and the SCT (or select members of the same); and
document the findings of the hearing and any relevant recommendations.

Assessment & Hearing Outcome

Student is restricted in his/her access to the residential environment
Student is withdrawn from the educational program
Other specified conditions for remaining in the educational program and/or residential environment

The vice president for student life will communicate its decision to the student in writing. The decision will include all requirements the student must meet in order to return to the educational program or to full access to the residential environment.

Voluntary Withdrawal
A student whose behavior and/or condition are covered under this policy may choose to voluntarily withdraw before the assessment and hearing process are initiated. Should the student elect to voluntarily withdraw from the educational program, the vice president for student life will gather assessment information or review information previously gathered, in consultation with the SCT and without hearing, to determine the conditions, if any, the student must meet in order to return to the educational program.

Returning to the Educational Program And/Or Full Access to the Residential Environment
Terms and Conditions of Return

The student who satisfies his/her individual conditions to return to the educational program or the residential environment following withdrawal or restricted access; and meets readmission criteria and application deadlines that may apply (Students whose withdrawal period is for the remaining portion of a semester or more must reapply for admission to the college. Applications for readmission can be obtained in the college’s Office of Admissions. For questions related to reapplications contact the office at 805-565-6200.) is assured the opportunity to return to the educational program or full access to the residential environment under the following terms and conditions:

A student withdrawn or restricted from the residential environment who wishes to return must contact the vice president for student life and provide appropriate documentation indicating compliance with the conditions of return communicated to the student at the time of withdrawal or restricted access.
Upon receipt of all materials from the student, the vice president for student affairs will:

Consult with appropriate campus health care professionals;
Consult with the student’s academic adviser;
Consult with the director of the Office of Advising and Disability Services
Contact the student’s parents, if appropriate;
Receive, investigate, and examine relevant documentation; and
Provide an opportunity for the student to meet with the vice president to discuss plans to return

Upon a decision to allow the student to return, the vice president for student life will provide the student with written conditions for continued attendance;
Upon a decision to deny the student’s request for readmission, the vice president for student life will specify what conditions need to be met in order to apply for return for a later semester.

Effect on Academic Status
In the event of a withdrawal pursuant to this policy, a notation on transcripts will appear on the student’s transcript in accordance with college policy. Any tuition refund due in accordance with college policy will be paid.

Effect on Housing Status
If the student has been restricted from the residential environment the college will cancel the student’s campus housing contract and refund any fees due in accordance with college policy.

Appeals Under This Policy
Appeals under this policy may be made to the provost. Appeals must be in writing and submitted to the provost’s office during regular business hours (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) within five business days of the decision. In extremely unusual circumstances, students may make written request to the provost for more than five days to appeal a decision. Such requests are rarely granted, and the decision to grant or deny an extension of time is within the sole discretion of the provost (which for all purposes described in this section includes his or her designee).

Appeal Format

An appeal must be in writing and consist of:

A completed Appeal Request Form (available in the student life office or the office of the provost)
A statement outlining and supporting the specific grounds on which the student is appealing.

An appeal must be based one or more of the following grounds:

A process or procedural error was made that was significantly prejudicial to the outcome of the review process as it affects the student appealing
New information has arisen that was not available or known to the student appealing at the time of the hearing which, when considered, may materially alter the outcome Note: Information that the appealing student chose not to present at the time of the hearing is not considered new information.
The college denied a reasonable accommodation, which if the college had granted, would obviate the need to remove the student from the educational program or restrict his or her access to the educational program and/or residential environment.

The appeal must address how the basis for the appeal was sufficient to alter the decision in the original assessment and hearing. Interim removal or restricted access will remain in effect during the appeal process.

The provost will consider all material previously presented and may meet with the student, the SCT and/or select members of the same. The provost will communicate his/her decision on the appeal in writing no later than seven days following receipt of the appeal. Where the appeal does not merit a new decision the provost will uphold the original decision. Where the appeal demonstrates clear and convincing facts or information that warrants an outcome different than the original proceeding, the provost will modify the original decision.

Missing Student Notification Policy & Investigation Procedures

Purpose
In accordance with federal law and to assist in guarding student safety, Westmont College establishes the following missing student notification policy and investigation procedures.

Definitions

Residential student: For purposes of this policy, a residential student is enrolled in the academic program and resides in on-campus housing.
Missing: For purposes of this policy, a residential student is presumed missing if he or she is more than 24 hours late in reaching their expected destination. A residential student may also be considered missing if 1) he or she is overdue in reaching home, campus or another specific location past their expected arrival; 2) additional factors lead college staff to believe he or she is missing, and 3) a check of their dormitory room supports that determination.
Confidential contact: For purposes of this policy a confidential contact is the individual named by the residential student to be contacted not later than 24 hours after the college determines the student is missing.

Notification to Residential Students

Residential students are informed that they have the option to identify an individual to be contacted by the institution not later than 24 hours after the time that the student is determined missing.
Residential students who are under 18 years of age and not emancipated individuals are informed that the college is required to notify a custodial parent or guardian if it is determined that the student is missing. Residential students who are 18 years of age or older are notified that the college will contact their parents if they do not identify an alternative confidential contact. (Identifying a confidential contact does not preclude the college from contacting students’ parents if in the opinion of college personnel and/or if in the event of an emergency concerning students’ safety, contacting the students’ parents is considered necessary.) In both cases, the college will contact students’ parent/guardian or other identified contact not later than 24 hours after the time the student is determined missing.
Residential students are informed that the college will notify the appropriate law enforcement agency within 24 hours after the time that the student is determined missing.
The Office of Student Life will collect and maintain confidential contact information. The student is responsible for ensuring that the contact information is up-to-date and accurate.

Promoting, Selling, or Publicizing On Campus

The following policy gives guidelines for anyone who wishes to sell, promote, or publicize products, events, candidates, job opportunities, ministries or viewpoints on campus.

Students, Staff, or Official Campus Organizations:

An academic department or official student organization may sponsor an issue forum or invite a guest speaker to campus. These events should be planned in accordance with the College Speakers and Sponsorship policy that is available in the provost’s office.
An academic department or official student organization may arrange with student and alumni employment coordinator (x6248) to use tables at the entry of the D.C. for promotion or other purposes.
The Campus Posting policy (available in the student life office) includes the locations, types of announcements, poster sizes, and duration for approved postings.
WCSA will publish and uphold its own policies regarding the promotion of candidates in the elections it conducts.
A student is not permitted to go door-to-door for the purpose of selling a product or service unless it is for fund raising. A student may purchase advertising space in the Horizon or get approval from the student life office to have promotional materials distributed through the campus mailbox ($60 distribution fee). A gathering to promote a product or service must be held within a student’s room.

Off-campus Individuals or Groups:

Due to very limited posting spaces, off-campus entities may not post materials on campus. It is possible to get approval from the student life office to have materials distributed through the campus mailbox ($60 distribution fee). Off-campus entities may also purchase advertisement space from the student newspaper, the Horizon.
Ministries, summer employment, and employment recruiters must contact the Office of Life Planning to arrange campus visits. The approved visitors will be given space outside of the dining commons to set up a simple display and to meet with students. (The group may move upstairs during rains or if an elaborate display requires electrical outlets.)
Individual political candidates, entities promoting specific issues, and voter registration volunteers may arrange with the student life office to set up portable tables on the dining commons lawn during meal times.
Door-to-door efforts for fund raising or selling a product or service are not permitted. No campus space will be provided to sell a product or service for profit.

Posting Fliers and Banners
Any individual or group that wants to advertise on campus must have posters and signs approved, stamped, and dated by the student life office or the campus life office before posting them. This includes but is not limited to: all advertisement in public spaces, campus buildings, residence halls, banners inside the D.C. and posters on the KSC balcony.

Signs and posters must be taken down by the date stamped on the flier. For events, this date will be the day after the event has occurred. If signs and posters are not removed after the event, the responsible individual or group may be charged a fine .
Certain adhesive materials cannot be used for posting as they can lead to property damage (e.g. duct tape, clear packing tape, any tape on glass surface). If any property damage occurs as a result of posting, the responsible individual or group may be charged a damage fee.
The student life staff may remove posters or advertisements that have not been approved and stamped.
Student life will not allow the posting of any materials that advocate or encourage conduct that is contrary to the Community Life Statement.
Student life staff may require an individual to sign the posting policy when materials are brought in to be approved.

Other Advertising Guidelines:

Sidewalk chalk may be used to advertise, however, it is the responsibility of the person who uses it to make sure it is properly cleaned up after the event takes place. Chalk is not to be used on the president’s patio or the areas immediately surrounding it.
Westmont does not allow the posting of notices on trees or lampposts.
Posters in residence halls about residence life events don’t need approval.
