College Student Code of Conduct
Students’ rights are basic to the freedom to learn and must be based on mutual respect and responsibility. In addition, when a student enrolls at Rockland Community College, he/she agrees to abide by all College regulations. Therefore, violations of any rule of the following Code of Conduct will result in appropriate disciplinary action.
The Student Code of Conduct as set forth below applies to all students and student organizations of Rockland Community College. The Code of Conduct primarily prohibits misconduct on College premises and off College premises in relation to College-sponsored activities, including, but not limited to, field trips, internships, sporting events, and all privileges granted to RCC students. The Vice President of Student Services, Dean of Student Development, or Coordinator of Judicial Affairs may address and take appropriate disciplinary action based on conduct occurring off campus when the behavior or the presence of the student, in the College’s sole judgment, adversely impacts the campus community, damages the reputation of the institution, or impairs, obstructs, or interferes with the interests and/or mission, processes, or functions of Rockland Community College.
Students are subject to this Code of Conduct during academic terms for which they are enrolled, and, under certain circumstances, during breaks between terms, during College holidays and vacations, and during periods of suspension. If a student violates a law which also violates the Code, that student may be held accountable by both civil authorities and the College. The College may, at its sole discretion, elect to pursue disciplinary action against the student at the same time as criminal proceedings, even if criminal charges involving the same incident are pending, have been dismissed, or were reduced.
