We expect our students to act in a mature and responsible manner. Respect for the rights of others, openness to new and challenging ideas, civility and courtesy are examples of this expectation. The Student Conduct Process has been established to address alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct. The goal of the Student Conduct System is to support the educational mission of the university by ensuring that an atmosphere of acceptance, curiosity and integrity is maintained on the campus.
The official method of communication by the Student Conduct and Student Affairs is via email to the student's email account.Incident Reporting Options
