STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
Membership in the college community confers upon students certain rights and
imposes certain responsibilities, which are defined below. Students are expected to
understand and exercise their rights, to meet their responsibilities, and to respect the
rights of others. The College’s student code of conduct enforces these responsibilities
and affords the same rights to students. The College will help to preserve a climate
in which students can develop without denying this same opportunity to others.
Unfamiliarity with the following does not excuse students from carrying out their
responsibilities as members of the college community.

Student Rights
1.
Students have the right to be heard in matters that affect their
rights and responsibilities. (e.g. through Student Government
Association, Dean of Student Services, etc.)
2
Students have the right to take stands on issues, to examine and
discuss questions of interest, and to support legal causes by
orderly means which do not disrupt college operations or
interfere with the rights of others. Students or student groups
wishing to engage in peaceful demonstrations must obtain a
Free Expression Permit to do so from the Office of Student Life
at least two business days prior to the demonstration. The
demonstration must be restricted to the area specified in the
permit.
3.
Student publications and communications are guaranteed the
rights inherent in the concept of “freedom of the press.”
Individual students and student organizations have the right to
publish, distribute, and broadcast material on the college
campus provided that the materials are identified by the name of
the student or student organization. All publications and
broadcasts shall demonstrate responsible journalism, including
the avoidance of defamation, indecency and obscenity,
undocumented allegations, and harassment.
