At Bates Technical College, we strive to create productive learning communities that enable all students to reach their maximum potential. You can find the principles that guide the learning community in the Student Code of Conduct, which is detailed in the Student Handbook. This information defines your rights and responsibilities within the Washington State Administrative Code (WAC 495A-119).
All students who have allegedly violated the Student Code of Conduct are entitled to due process. Due process, including the right to appeal a disciplinary decision, is listed below. Please note that conduct documents are not part of a student’s academic file and can only be made available via public information request.
The information here is intended to guide the Bates Technical College community only through alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct.

According to Student Conduct Code, they include:
- College expectations related to your behavior
