Policies

The university has a Student Conduct Code and Conduct Process that governs the behavior of our students to allow for a safe community conducive to learning. Students are responsible for adhering to all campus policies, as well as local, state, and federal laws. The Campus Conduct Code also extends to off-campus situations.

Students who reside in campus housing are required to observe all rules and regulations outlined in the Student Conduct Code, as well as the Residence Life Guidelines. All students should familiarize themselves with the Student Conduct Code.
