STANDARDS OF STUDENT CONDUCT POLICY Section I – Introduction to Standards of Student Conduct
In choosing to enroll at Chaffey College, students voluntarily enter an educational community with Standards of Student Conduct, as prescribed by the Student Academic Integrity Code and Student Behavior Code. The Standards of Student Conduct exist to set standards of academic honesty and respect for persons and property that help create a safe environment where academic life can thrive and support the development and success of all students.
Students are expected at all times to act in a manner consistent with the Standards of Student Conduct, as prescribed by the Student Academic Integrity Code and Student Behavior Code. These standards apply to all students on any campus or other District property or while attending any District-sponsored classes, activities, conferences, trips or events. The lack of knowledge of the Standard of Student Conduct shall not constitute them invalid.
The Standards of Student Conduct are set forth in the Student Handbook. The handbook is available to all students in the Office of Student Life and online through Chaffey’s website.
The Standards of Student Conduct and the student discipline process do not attempt to duplicate civil and criminal legal processes, nor do they attempt to be a substitute for them. Students may be accountable to both external authorities and to Chaffey College for acts, which constitute violations of the law and the Standards of Student Conduct. Any violations committed on campus or other District property or while attending any District-sponsored events by non-students will be dealt with as a police matter by the Chaffey Campus Police. In addition, admission or readmission to the college may be denied to any person, while not a student, who commits acts which violate the provisions of the Standards of Student Conduct.
The disciplinary process follows established procedures to promote and provide an educational experience that facilitates the development of students. It provides a prompt, fair, and equitable means to respond to incidents involving alleged violations of the Standards of Student Conduct and is designed to educate and, where appropriate, sanction those students who violate the Standards of Student Conduct. The expectation that this experience has the potential of resulting in individual student growth, change in behavior, and an increased understanding of the student's responsibilities and privileges within our community. We seek both to promote a student’s sense of responsibility by enforcing accountability, and to protect our community, when necessary, which may mean removing or restricting those who pose a threat to others.
