Student Code of Conduct
The College of Southern Idaho promotes behavioral standards that create a positive environment in which students can learn, work, and live. The Student Code of Conduct is intended to help create and preserve this positive environment in support of the institution’s mission, educational philosophy, purposes, and functions; to foster students’ educational and civic development; and to protect the people, properties, systems, and processes that support the College.
Attending college is optional and voluntary. Students voluntarily assume obligations of performance and behavior established by the College. At the College of Southern Idaho, student members of the College community are expected to uphold and abide by certain standards of conduct that form the basis of the Student Code of Conduct. These standards are embodied within a set of core values that include integrity, fairness, respect, community, and responsibility. The College reserves the right to take necessary and appropriate action to protect the safety and well-being of the College community and maintain order and discipline on College property. Each member of the College community is expected to assume responsibility for his/her conduct and to assume reasonable responsibility for the behavior of others. The College does not assume parental responsibility for the conduct of its students. Membership in the College community does not provide immunity from the laws and standards of local, state or federal jurisdictions.
