College Student Code of Conduct
"Student Development theory commonly holds that the campus conduct process ought to be educational, in order to assist students in ethical development. From Policies and Procedures to Sanctions, the conduct process is not intended to be punitive, but to function as a learning experience that provokes students to reflect on their behaviors, their values, and how their behavior impacts other members of the campus community. We make great efforts to differentiate the campus conduct process from the criminal and civil legal realm which have different methods and goals." Brett A. Sokolow, JD
Rockland Community College is a supportive learning-centered environment that strives to empower our students. As an institution of higher education, RCC seeks to provide the best educational environment for its students, faculty and staff. To achieve this goal, the College requires each member of the campus community, whether a member of the student body, faculty, staff or administration, to follow the policies and procedures established by the College along with all local, state and federal laws. The College is committed to supporting a moral and just climate, meeting its contractual obligations, and protecting its property and that of its community members. Equally valued is the importance of treating all students with equal care, concern, fairness and dignity.
