Student Code of Conduct Policy

All members of the St. Lawrence College community have the right to study or work in an environment that is safe, secure and supportive. The College expects students to be responsible for conducting themselves in a manner that respects the rights of employees, other students and College property, in line with the SLC Student Code of Conduct.

What is the Student Code of Conduct?

When they enroll, every St. Lawrence College student agrees to follow the Student Code of Conduct​. The Code of Conduct outlines the rights and responsibilities of students​, sets expectations for student behaviour, and explains possible consequences for not meeting those expectations​.

The Code of Conduct applies to student behaviour that takes place: ​

• On campus or on College property ​
• During online or distance learning ​
• During College-sanctioned activities (e.g. club and sporting events)​

• Off campus when it negatively impacts the rights or wellbeing of a College community member
