Student Code Of Conduct

Suffolk County Community College’s mission includes the growth and development of its students through social and ethical awareness.  In addition, the College is committed to preserving a climate conducive to our dedication to academic endeavors, and protecting its property and that of its community members.  It is important to treat all community members with equal care, concern, honor, fairness and dignity.  The College has established core values of student conduct which meet our mission:

 Integrity: College students exemplify honesty, honor and a respect for the truth in all of their dealings.

 Community: College students build and enhance their community.

 Social Justice: College students are just and equitable in their treatment of all members of the community, and act to discourage and/or intervene to prevent unjust and inequitable behaviors.

 Respect: College students show positive regard for each other, for property and for the community.

 Responsibility: College students are given and accept a high level of responsibility to self, to others and to the community.
