The College’s Mission and promise to every Student is to provide an opportunity to build a future through flexible education in a supportive environment. In support of its mission, the College seeks to provide the opportunities and protections that best serve the educational process. Students are entitled to basic rights and protections as individual members of society. At the same time, they are also subject to obligations as College Community members. The College has adopted a Student Code of Conduct that sets forth the standards of conduct expected of all Students, visitors, and guests. Students in violation of the Student Code of Conduct may face disciplinary action. The Student Code of Conduct is intended for the benefit, protection, safety, and well-being of everyone involved in the learning environment and activities at the College. 

Students are expected to know and willingly follow the Student Code of Conduct in their everyday activities on campus and in college-sponsored activities held off campus. The College may exercise jurisdiction over online conduct when it affects a College interest. The Student Conduct Regulations are intended to give Students general notice of prohibited conduct. However, they are not meant to define misconduct in every circumstance. The College reserves the right to impose safety measures when deemed necessary, such as, but not limited to, emergency removal or suspension. The Student Code of Conduct is updated annually and available on the College website in the Student Handbook.
