Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities

The Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities (SRR) commits itself to provide a fair and impartial process for alleged violations of university policies. The SRR aims to cultivate a safe environment where students can learn and grow from their decisions and experiences with the goal of fostering ethical development, civic leadership, mutual respect and repairing harm when it has occurred.

Students, like all members of the university – trustees, faculty, administration and staff members – assume the responsibility to conduct themselves in compliance with the objectives and standards of conduct established by the university while both on and off campus. Students are expected to maintain standards of personal integrity that are in harmony with the educational goals of the institution; to respect the rights, privileges and property of others; and to observe national, state and local laws and university policies.
