Student Conduct

We are dedicated to upholding a fair and respectful environment for all students. To support this commitment, we provide clear procedural protections for students involved in disciplinary matters while always prioritizing confidentiality. These protections ensure that students are:

• informed of any charges.
• equipped for hearings.
• prepared to respond to evidence presented against them and given the right to challenge any potential bias in the process.

Ultimately, every student is presumed not responsible for any charges until proven otherwise. For more information, please review our code of conduct.

We take disciplinary matters seriously to maintain a safe and respectful learning environment. When violations of the Code of Conduct occur, a range of sanctions may be enforced depending on the nature and severity of the violation. Possible actions include:

• warnings
• no-trespass orders and no contact directives
• mandated evaluations
• restitution, disciplinary probation, suspension, expulsion
• academic penalties
