Section I: Purpose
The 推荐杏吧原创, is a higher education institution committed to the intellectual and personal growth of its students as scholars and citizens. The University (see Definition 34) is dedicated to academic excellence in academic pursuits, life-long learning, and personal development of each Student (see Definition 30). Students enrolled at the University, whether it is on campus, off campus, or online, are expected to exhibit high standards of behavior and are expected to treat members and guests of the community with respect.
The Student Code of Conduct (“Code”) and associated processes are designed to promote the values of the University, enforce the standards of behavior on and off campus, and encourage students to reflect on decisions and improve decision making in the future. The Code exists to set forth prohibited conduct and specify the educational processes for determining responsibility for alleged violations of regulations. The Code outlines a disciplinary process that promotes and provides an educational experience that facilitates the development of individual students and student organizations. Therefore, an important goal of the Code, and its processes for the resolution of student misconduct, is to teach students to live and act responsibly in a community, with respect for the rights of other students and members of that community, and for the property, common resources, and regulations and policies associated with that community. As students participate in the campus community and its sponsored activities, they are responsible for their own actions and are subject to local ordinances and local, state, and national laws, as well as all University directives, regulations, and policies.
The Code may be viewed on the Office of Student Conduct’s website and in the University course catalog. Printed copies of the Code may be requested at the Office of Student Conduct. Definitions of terms used in this Code can be found in Appendix I.
Cases in which harassment or discrimination is alleged will be managed in coordination with the University’s Equal Opportunity & Title IX Office. Refer to NSHE Handbook Title 4, Chapter 8, Section 14 for additional information. Findings may be provided to the Office of Student Conduct for issuance of disciplinary sanctions.
