2.3.2 : Jurisdiction and Scope of the Code

Students are responsible to adhere to standards of student conduct from the time they matriculate until they officially withdraw or graduate. In other words, no distinction is made between adherence to standards of conduct “on-campus” versus “off-campus”. Violations will be regarded as a serious breach of integrity with this community to which each member has voluntarily chosen to associate. For example, when a student participates in academic courses, university sponsored events, trips and tours off campus, and vacations (including summer vacations); they are expected to abide by the code of conduct. This code of conduct does not presume to define or describe all the situations under which a student may be disciplined by the university.

Thus, students may be placed on probation, suspended, or dismissed for academic reasons as well as for disciplinary reasons.
