| Abstract: |
This study, representing a first, fills a gap by analyzing the college student disciplinary suspension and reenrollment experience and highlights the educational nature of student conduct systems. The research questions were: How do college students experience disciplinary suspensions?; Why do college students choose to reenroll after serving a disciplinary suspension?; How do college students experience reenrollment following a disciplinary suspension? Six college students from different institutions participated. Schlossberg’s (1981) Transition Theory (Figures 1 through 3) and Karp and Clear’s (2000) Community Justice Model (Figure 4) were used to analyze common lived experiences. This study demonstrated that disciplinary suspensions are dynamic and multi-faceted, provide growth and development for college students, and can be a meaningful part of the conduct process.
