Student Conduct
A community exists on the
basis of shared values and principles. At BGSU,
students, recognized student organizations, and student
groups are expected to uphold and abide by certain standards
of conduct. You should familiarize yourself with the Codes,
which create a set of expectations for student conduct,
ensure a fair process for determining responsibility
when student behavior may have deviated from those
expectations, and provide appropriate sanctions when a
student and/or student organization has violated the
Code(s).
Students
who violate faculty expectations as outlined in the syllabus
may be subject to conduct action.
If you
have questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Office
of the Dean of Students at 419-372-2843 or odos@bgsu.edu.
