Student Code of Conduct

The Student Code of Conduct is an articulation of TSC’s commitment to maintaining an environment that recognizes and supports the rights of its students, while providing a guide for defining behaviors the College considers inappropriate. When students fail to act in accord with the rules and regulations of the TSC community, the College must hold them accountable for their actions. The purpose of the student conduct system is not solely to punish students for transgressions, but to help them understand and accept their obligations as citizens of an academic community. Whenever possible, sanctions for violations of the Student Code of Conduct will be educational in nature.

Any student found to have committed or to have attempted to commit the following misconduct is subject to the disciplinary sanctions outlined in Article IV: Student Code of Conduct Procedures:

a. Acts of dishonesty, including but not limited to the following:

i. Cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty.
ii. Furnishing false information to any College official, faculty member, or office.
iii. Forgery, alteration, or misuse of any College document, record, or instrument of identification.

b. Disruption or obstruction of teaching, research, administration, disciplinary proceedings, other College activities, including its public service functions on or off campus, or of other authorized non-College activities when the conduct occurs on College premises.

The Office of the Vice President of Student Development or designee has primary authority and responsibility for the administration of student discipline. The Student Code of Conduct is available in the TSC Student Handbook.
