Disciplinary Procedures and Sanctions

The College has a duty and the corollary disciplinary powers to protect its educational purpose through the setting of standards of scholarship and conduct for the students who attend, and through the regulation of the use of institutional facilities. Proper procedural safeguards are observed to insure justice and fairness to those who violate the standards of the College. The disciplinary process encourages student development and growth by combining aspects of counseling, guidance and admonition along with corrective sanctions.

As a member of the Lafayette Community, students are expected to uphold community standards. Actions, attitudes, and involvement in activities on and off campus will have both positive and negative impacts on a student's future as he/she seeks knowledge abroad, employment, continued education, or embarks on a professional career. When students decide to engage in behaviors that violate College regulations, or choose to associate with those involved in violating College regulations, they must be prepared to assume responsibility for any consequences associated with these behaviors. Detailed information regarding the Student Conduct Program and College regulations is available in the Student Handbook.
