The College administration and faculty members define, communicate, and enforce reasonable standards of behavior in classrooms, laboratories, offices, and other campus areas. Students are expected to attend and participate in their courses, to complete assignments, and to communicate clearly with faculty and administration any information necessary for their continued enrollment. Each student should understand the principles of academic integrity and ethical conduct.

Students are required and expected to conduct themselves in a mature and considerate manner. Students should conduct and express themselves in a way that is respectful to all individuals. This includes respecting the rights of others to comment and participate fully in class. Behavior such as, but not limited to, talking in class while the faculty member or other students are speaking, using offensive language, creating distractions or disturbances, sleeping, reading unrelated materials, and moving about the classroom is, in many situations, considered disruptive behavior to the learning process.

When student behavior interferes with an effective learning climate, the student may lose the privilege of attending or receiving credit in course(s) and may be subject to more severe disciplinary actions, including suspension or expulsion from the College. Failure to show respect for order, property, and regulations is considered just cause for disciplinary action.
