Â鶹´«Ã½ is committed to fostering an environment that is: safe and secure; inclusive; and conducive to academic inquiry, student engagement and student success.
A community exists on the basis of shared values and principles. At Â鶹´«Ã½, student members of the community are expected to uphold and abide by standards of conduct that form the basis of the Code of Student Conduct ("the Code"). These standards are embodied within a set of core values that include integrity,Ìýfairness,Ìýrespect,Ìýcommunity, and responsibility.When student members of the community fail to exemplify these values, student conduct proceedings are used to assert and uphold the Code.
All students are expected to assume responsibility for their conduct, and to assume reasonable responsibility for the behavior of others. The student conduct process exists to protect the interests of the community, and to educate and respond to those students whose behavior is not in accordance with our standards.
