INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE:
The code of student conduct is established to foster and protect the core missions of the College, to foster the scholarly and civic development of the students in a safe and secure learning environment, and to protect the people, properties and processes that support the Institution and its missions. The core missions of the university are teaching, learning, service and research.
Definitions:
"College premises" means all lands, buildings and facilities owned, leased, or operated by the College. The term "student" means an individual who has paid an acceptance fee, registered for classes, or otherwise entered into any other contractual relationship with the College to take instruction. A safe and secure environment allows for a positive learning environment. In turn, a positive learning environment promotes student learning. To successfully achieve these outcomes, it is necessary develop a clear set of student expectations.
