Student Code of Conduct Approved: July 3, 2018; Last Updated: August 2023 3 SECTION I: Responsibility for Implementation Overall management and administration of the Student Code of Conduct is the responsibility of the Director of Student Support Services. Any question of interpretation regarding the Student Code of Conduct shall be referred to the Director of Student Support Services or their designee for final determination. SECTION II: Jurisdiction & Scope The Student Code of Conduct applies for all students through the application for admission through the actual awarding of a degree. This includes conduct that occurs: (1) during the academic year, before classes begin or after classes end; (2) during time pursuing credit away from campus (internships, study abroad, practical/clinical placements, etc.); (3) during periods between terms of actual enrollment; and/or (4) while on leave from the College; A student who withdraws from the College shall not be exempt from disciplinary proceedings for behavioral infractions which took place prior to withdrawal. Campus disciplinary procedures as described in this Student Code of Conduct may proceed with the accused student even if the student has withdrawn from the College. Should suspension or expulsion take place as a result of the disciplinary process, these sanctions supersede a withdrawal from the College. If a student has completed degree requirements and is charged with a violation prior to graduation or the conferral of the degree, the student will be ineligible to graduate until student conduct action on the case is completed and eligibility to graduate is confirmed. If the student conduct action results in suspension, the student will be ineligible to graduate until the term of the suspension has been served. In addition, the College will have jurisdiction over student misconduct that occurs on College premises, rented facilities, at College-sponsored activities, electronically/online, and/or off-campus. Off-campus criminal offenses that violate the Student Code of Conduct may be subject to college disciplinary action. This disciplinary action may occur concurrently while a student is facing criminal charges; the charges are pending; have been reduced or have been dismissed. It is the obligation of every student to notify the Director of Student Support Services of any felony or misdemeanor arrests occurring at any time after the student is admitted to the College through graduation or separation from the institution, regardless of geographic location of the arrest or specific crime alleged.
