Student Handbook 2024-25

The Student Code of Conduct will apply to student conduct that occurs on college premises, at college-sponsored activities both on and off-campus. Factors that will be considered when determining whether to address off campus conduct include, but are not limited to: whether the incident is documented by a verifiable source, adversely affects the college community, occurs at a college program or activity, or endangers the health or safety of a student or others. Student conduct proceedings may be initiated for alleged conduct that potentially violates both law and college policy without regard to the pendency of civil or criminal litigation in court or criminal arrest and prosecution. Proceedings under these procedural standards may be carried out prior to, concurrently with, or following civil or criminal proceedings. Determinations made or outcomes imposed will not be subject to change because criminal charges or civil complaints arising out of the same facts giving rise to violation of college policy were dismissed, reduced, or resolved in favor of the respondent. Any conduct which may present a risk to the health or safety to a member of the college community may result in immediate removal from the college pending the outcome of college investigation and action or criminal proceedings. The Associate Dean, or their designee, shall determine sanctions for students in violation of local, State, or Federal laws. Sanctions may include termination of student employment, suspension or expulsion from Beacon College and/or student residences, and referral for prosecution. The college may restrict a student’s contact with specified individuals when determined appropriately based on the facts or information and circumstances of each unique incident. The college may restrict a student’s contact with specified individuals when determined appropriately based on the facts or information and circumstances of each unique incident.
