Student Conduct Expectations

Within the traditions of its mission and Christ-centered heritage, CCU expects its students to develop a high standard of behavior and personal values. Among these expectations are:

  • Respect for the rights and human dignity of others, especially in the conduct of relationships;
  • Respect for the rights and needs of the CCU community to develop and maintain an atmosphere conducive to academic study and personal life;
  • Respect for the University’s academic traditions of honesty, freedom of expression, and open inquiry;
  • Tolerance and respect for the different backgrounds, personalities, beliefs, and spiritual traditions of students, faculty, and staff who make up the CCU community;
  • A willingness to assist others in need of support, guidance, or friendship;
  • Respect for federal, state and local laws and ordinances;
  • Respect for the authorities, policies, procedures, and regulations established by the University for the orderly administration of University activities and the welfare of the members of the CCU community.

The Student Handbook addresses additional issues related to the student code of conduct including, but not limited to, students’ rights as victims, participants in the discipline process, sexual harassment and assault processes, explicit sanctioning guidelines, and the judicial process.
