The
Student Code of Conduct applies to any person registered, accepted or enrolled
in any course or program offered by Keene State College including those who are
not officially enrolled for a particular term but who have a continuing
relationship with the college, such as those on a leave of absence, who
have been suspended or are taking programming through Extended Education or the
OSHA Training Institute.
The
college’s jurisdiction and response shall be limited to violations of the
Student Code of Conduct, which may include violations of local, state, or
federal laws. The Student Code of Conduct prohibits activities that directly
and significantly interfere with the college’s
(1)
primary educational responsibility of ensuring the
opportunity for all members of the community to attain their
educational objectives
(2)
subsidiary responsibilities of protecting the health and safety of persons in
the campus community, maintaining, and protecting property, keeping records,
providing living accommodations and other services, and sponsoring
non-classroom activities such as lectures, concerts, athletic events, and
social functions, whether the violation occurs on or off the college premises
or inside or outside of the classroom.
Such
conduct or attempted conduct is prohibited and can lead to immediate dismissal
from the course/program for non-matriculated students. Non-matriculated
students are not eligible for the same Community Standards processes as
matriculated students. If a non-matriculated student displays prohibited
conduct during a course/program but is allowed to remain in that course, this
behavior may be considered if said student determines they would like to become
a matriculated student.
