COMMUNITY STANDARDS &
CODE OF CONDUCT
Philosophy on Student Responsibility
As a member of Spelman College, you have voluntarily entered into a community of learners who are
expected to exhibit thoughtful academic study and discourse, and ethical and socially responsible behavior
on and off campus. The College has developed the Community Standards and Code of Conduct, and other
policies and procedures to support its academic mission, objectives, processes, functions, and general
operations. These standards represent the core values of integrity, fairness, respect, community, and
responsibility.
The premise of our student conduct administration process is that we expect students to take responsibility for
their behavior, in addition to holding their peers accountable for being good citizens. The student conduct
administration process allows the college to address behavior that has a negative impact on individuals and/or
the campus community. The Community Standards and Code of Conduct is designed to clearly communicate
behaviors that negatively impact our community.
Purpose of the Community Standards and
Code of Conduct
Spelman College is committed to the development and personal growth of students. Students are
encouraged to reflect on the college values and behavioral expectations as they engage in their
academic studies and co-curricular activities. Research has demonstrated that students who are
active participants in the college and surrounding communities are more likely to uphold college
policies and maintain a positive community environment. Conduct occurs in the context of a
community of scholars dedicated to seeking excellence in academics, personal learning and
leadership.
The student conduct administration process, including the right to appeal, is established to support
the rights and responsibilities of each student, to sustain the college’s values and behavioral
expectations, in addition to determining future privileges as a member of the Spelman College
community. This is accomplished by holding individual students and student organizations
responsible and accountable to the College’s stated values and behavioral expectations.
