Student Handbook 2024-25

Students who violate the Student Code of Conduct may be held accountable by both civil and criminal authorities, as well as by the College. Sanctions may be imposed for misconduct, whether it occurs on or off College property. By enrolling, all students agree to abide by the Student Handbook and all other College rules, regulations, policies, and procedures. The College reserves all rights in these matters. The Student Code of Conduct applies to students from the time of admission through the conferral of a degree. It also applies to students who are suspended, on leave, or still hold an enrolled status with the College. The College retains conduct jurisdiction over students who take a leave of absence, withdraw, or graduate for any misconduct that occurred prior to the leave, withdrawal, or graduation. If sanctioned, a hold may be placed on the student’s ability to re-enroll, obtain official transcripts, or graduate. All sanctions must be completed before enrollment eligibility is restored. In cases of serious misconduct committed while enrolled but reported after graduation, the College may apply these procedures, and if the former student is found responsible, the College may revoke their degree. For student conduct purposes, the College considers an individual a student once an offer of admission is extended and for as long as the student maintains an educational interest in the College. Students at the college are provided an electronic copy of the Student Code of Conduct annually in the form of a link on the Beacon College website. Students are responsible for reading and abiding by the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct. The Student Code of Conduct applies to behaviors that take place on college premises, at college-sponsored activities and events, and may apply to off-campus behavior when the Associate Dean, or their designee, determines that the off-campus conduct affects a substantial college interest, such as situations where a student’s conduct may present a danger or threat to the health or safety of themselves or others; Students and student organizations are subject to conduct action according to the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct.
