Student Code of Conduct
All students enrolled in programs through the Office of Graduate and Adult Education are expected to display the highest ethical, moral, and professional standards as scholars, professionals, and leaders in their respective fields. A violation of ethical, moral, and/or professional standards is a serious offense and may result in academic sanctions, including suspension or dismissal by the program in which the student is enrolled and/or by the Office of Graduate and Adult Education. It may also prohibit future enrollment or re-enrollment in any program at the University. A violation of ethical, moral, and/or professional standards is not limited to behavior outlined in the Graduate & Adult Studies Catalogs but still may result in academic sanctions, including suspension or dismissal by the program or the Office of Graduate and Adult Education. While some unacceptable behaviors are specifically addressed in this policy, they are not exhaustive. The overall standard to be observed is one of reasonable professional behavior. A few specific examples deserving of special attention follow in the next paragraph.
Students are expected to demonstrate respect for all persons. Any act or threat that imposes any kind of emotional trauma or results in intimidation, bullying, or physical harm to another student, faculty, or administrator is prohibited. Such behavior is regarded as a safety risk, not only for the individuals involved but also for the entire Trevecca community, and will not be tolerated. Any member of the Trevecca Nazarene Community who feels threatened or harassed is encouraged to seek assistance. Reports can be made to the Title IX Coordinator. Institutional procedures are intended to protect the rights of both complainant and respondent, protect privacy, and prevent retaliation.
