Student Conduct Program Mission Statement

The Lafayette Student Conduct Program advances the mission of the College by promoting a living-learning environment that is conducive to educational achievement and to the integration of intellectual, social, and personal growth. The Office of the Dean of Students is responsible for developing, administering and assessing the program.

The Dean's Office involves students, faculty and staff in the administration of the Student Conduct Program and informs students of their rights and responsibilities as members of the community through a variety of means, including the Student Handbook. The program promotes adherence to the behavioral standards agreed upon by the campus community and provides an adjudication process that is characterized by integrity, respect, fairness and individualized learning.

Learning Outcomes for the Student Conduct Program:

• Students will know that policies and expectations related to student behavior are explained in the Student Handbook and where the Student Handbook is located.
• Students will have a basic understanding of their rights and responsibilities as members of the Lafayette community.
• Students who meet with staff members regarding violations will be able to articulate how their decisions may impact the attainment of their personal and academic goals.
