University students are expected to conform to high standards of behavior, both on and off campus. Student Policies and procedures exist to serve as a guide for each student and to ensure the proper atmosphere necessary for the academic and social life of each student. Students will be held accountable for their behavior that adversely affects the University community and/or the pursuit of its mission, objectives, or violates state, local or federal law.
The Alfred University Student Conduct System is designed to hold students accountable for their behavior, to protect the University community and property, and to protect the rights of the members of that community to function in an environment conducive to academic and co-curricular pursuits. It is designed to hold individuals accountable for the inappropriateness of their actions in a constructive and educational manner that will foster an understanding of the impact their behavior has had on individuals and the community (a detailed statement on the conduct system can be found on the Alfred University student web portal under “Student Conduct System”).
