The following student discipline policy
is developed to encourage student success.
Violations of this policy are addressed
from an educational perspective. Students are expected to be
familiar with university policies related to student behavior on or
off campus. Through involvement in the conduct process, students
have an opportunity to learn new ways of resolving conflicts and
relating to others. In all conduct proceedings it
is recognized that MSUM is an educational institution and not a
court of law. MSUM standards of conduct are published here as
the Code of Conduct. This code does not replace or reduce the
requirements of civil or criminal laws. Members of the University community also have
responsibilities as citizens. Violations that constitute crimes and
the annual crime report can be found at:

·
Each student is responsible for knowing and adhering
to the prescribed community standards.
·
Being under the influence of alcohol and/or other
drugs does not in any way excuse or mitigate responsibility for a
student’s behavior. The excessive, illegal, unprescribed or
otherwise socially irresponsible use of alcohol or other drugs
infringes upon one’s ability to preserve personal integrity and
civility.
·
Disciplinary action is cumulative resulting in more
serious consequences if the student engages in repeat violations or
fails to follow through with sanctions from a previous hearing.
