Off-Campus Incidents Involving CCU Students

Colorado Christian University reserves the right to take necessary and appropriate action to protect the safety and well-being of the campus community. It may become necessary for the University to take necessary and appropriate action as a result of student incidents off campus which may affect the ability for students to function well in the University community, at University-sponsored events, in the classroom, or those that are in direct conflict with the unique mission of the University.

Typically, the University would address off-campus violations of the University standards of conduct, as outlined in the Student Handbook, between currently enrolled University students, or students and other CCU community members, found in the "Prohibited Conduct" section of the Handbook. A student involved in an off-campus incident with another University community member could face charges in the University discipline system and judicial process, as well as civil or criminal charges. Complaints from University community members against University students involving infractions other than violations of the standards of conduct will not be the responsibility of the University to investigate or review.

In the event of complaints from non-University citizens or agencies, the University will cooperate fully with local authorities in the performance of their duties, but it will not have responsibility for adjudicating the complaint. The University will reserve the right to act in that instance if a specific standard of conduct violation is involved in the complaint.
