Student Code of Conduct

The College makes every effort to maintain a safe and orderly educational environment for students and staff.  Therefore, when, in the judgment of College officials, a student鈥檚 conduct disrupts or threatens to disrupt the College community, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken to restore and protect the sanctity of the community.

Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with generally accepted standards of scholarship and morality.  The purpose of these standards is not to restrict student rights but to protect the rights of individuals in their academic pursuits.

Faculty teaching courses for 麻豆视频 and students taking courses at 麻豆视频 have the right to an instructional environment that is conducive to study, thought, and full concentration on study topics selected by the instructor.

If the complaint is not resolved at Step One (or, given the nature of the complaint, Step Two begins the process) the student may file a written complaint with the Student Conduct Officer.  The written complaint must contain, with specificity, the facts supporting the complaint and the attempt, if applicable, to resolve the complaint at the information level.

In the event that the student is unsatisfied with the resolution reached by the Student Conduct Officer, he/she may proceed to Step Three within five (5) business days after receipt of the Student Conduct Officer鈥檚 written determination.  Not proceeding to Step Three within the time period will result in the complaint not being heard and the matter being closed.

Appeal 鈥� Step Three  

If the student is not satisfied with the Student Conduct Officer鈥檚 determination, the student may appeal to the President.  The appeal must be in writing, must provide a written summary of the specific facts and must contain any other documentation pertinent to the matter.  The President will conduct an 鈥渙n the record鈥� review and conduct any further investigation that is necessary to ascertain the facts needed to make a determination.  The President may, at his/her discretion, establish a committee to further investigate the matter and make a recommendation to the President.  

At the conclusion of the investigation and not later than fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the student鈥檚 appeal, the President shall provide a written decision to the student.
