The College recognizes the value and importance of a safe and orderly learning environment that encourages honesty, integrity, and ethical conduct conducive to academic success, personal growth, and responsible social behavior. The Student General Rules and Guidelines and Student Code of Conduct ensure the protection of student rights and the health and safety of the College community, as well as to aid in efficiently operating College programs. It is the responsibility of each student to know and abide by the Student General Rules and Guidelines and Student Code of Conduct.
The College has established procedures for reporting and addressing alleged violations of the Student General Rules and Guidelines and Student Code of Conduct in accordance with the College’s Ethics and Standards of Conduct for Students Policy. These procedures are designed to provide a fair, consistent, and reliable process for all parties.
The Student General Rules and Guidelines and Student Code of Conduct apply from the time of admission to the College and continue as long as the student remains enrolled at the college.

The Office of Student Compliance is an integral part of the positive educational environment at the College, and is responsible for upholding the Student General Rules and Guidelines and Student Code of Conduct. The office supports the mission of the College by responding to and resolving situations in which the behavioral choices of students are negatively impacting the College community, or other students, including themselves.
