A. Purpose

The Student Code of Conduct outlines university policies and procedures to which all students are expected to adhere during their time at Science & Arts. Science & Arts recognizes that students will make mistakes and, at times, decisions that do not align with university expectations. Our aim is to help students reflect and learn from these decisions by holding them accountable for their behavior. Science & Arts offers education, challenge and support to students struggling with behavioral issues, and makes appropriate referrals to other resources as necessary. The primary focus of the conduct process is on educational and corrective outcomes; however, sanctions such as suspension or expulsion from the university may be necessary to uphold community standards and to protect the campus community. The goal is to resolve cases by the lowest appropriate authority for maximum educational benefit.
