Community Standards and Care: Student Code of Conduct

Student conduct is aimed at creating and maintaining an environment where individual and institutional responsibility combine to foster each student’s complete development. Each student is afforded rights and responsibilities while protecting the rights and freedoms of others and maintaining the educational process. These community standards and expectations have been developed to reflect the nature of a student community. Every member of the University community is provided equal rights and benefits in accordance with the expectation that each student has maturity, intelligence and concern for the rights of others. This necessitates good judgment, a sense of self-discipline, and respect for the rights and privileges of all community members. University Conduct Officer hears cases of alleged violations and impose sanctions, including disciplinary suspension from the University. Although the goal is to redirect student behavior into acceptable patterns, accountability for a serious violation or failure to change behavior may result in suspension or expulsion of an individual. A detailed summary of regulations and the student conduct process is available in the Ranger Guide Student Handbook, which is applicable all University students. The Ranger Handbook is available on the Regis University website www.regis.edu search tool: Student Handbook

Students’ conduct and behavior, including without limitation students’ adherence to ethical standards of conduct governing the profession they are preparing to enter and the University’s Student Standards of Conduct, are continuing points of assessment in all programs, courses and activities engaged in by students. Notwithstanding the published performance assessment standards, students’ grades or academic progress may be impacted adversely due to unacceptable behavior or conduct.
