Student Conduct in the Residence Halls
By choosing to live in a residence hall, you elect to reside in an academic community. As a member of this community, you have rights as a resident and as a student. Please recognize that other members of this community have these same rights as well, and that your rights should not infringe upon those of another. It is important to learn to compromise with others in order to maintain an environment in which all members of the community may grow as individuals and pursue learning as a cornerstone of the campus residential experience. Community Standards are established to assist in shaping this environment, to protect your rights, and to define your responsibilities to others.
You are expected to abide by local, state and federal laws, the Student Code of Conduct, the Community Standards, and the General Procedures (both found in the 2009-2010 Community Living Guide).
If, as a student or staff member, you feel that a conduct violation has occurred, you may complete an Online Incident Report.
