Purpose
This Student Code of Conduct (“The Code”) documents the standard of conduct by which students and organizations are expected to abide.
Students and organizations shall be held accountable for compliance with the Code’s provisions. By affiliation with the College, a student or organization does not escape the responsibility of local, state, or federal laws and regulations. The College is committed to maintaining an environment that contributes to its educational mission as well as to the safety, health, and well-being of all students and other persons at all ESCC locations.
Common courtesy and cooperation are expected of all students. Interference, injury, and the intentional attempt to injure or interfere with the personal or property rights of any person—whether a student, visitor, faculty, or staff member—or of the College itself, are strictly prohibited.
Students are expected to possess all text(s), tools, safety items, and personal items necessary to fully and effectively participate in a given class.
The Code describes the code of behavior for all students and student organizations and outlines rights and the process for adjudicating alleged violations. It is outlined in writing to give general notice of prohibited conduct. The Code should be read broadly and is not designed to define prohibited conduct in exhaustive terms. All students and student organizations are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the Code. The current version of the Code, which may be revised periodically, is available in the ESCC Academic Catalog.
