Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

An adult disabled student, under a 2-year contract with a State Rehabilitation agency and a local college to receive vocational training (employment), was expelled from the college for alleged inappropriate behavior without due process of law. The college alleges that the student's application for admission had not been processed at the time of the alleged inappropriate behavior; so, he was not a student. Therefore, he was not entitled to due process. Does the disabled student have claims for deprivation or property rights (education) without due process and discrimination under 42 U.S.C. 794 if the alleged inappropriate behavior was trumped up?
