General Regulations

Colorado Christian University is committed to cooperating with federal, state, and local authorities in their efforts to enforce existing laws regarding alcohol use, drugs, and public health and safety. University regulations in these areas are guided by our educational purpose within the framework of applicable law. Students are expected to abide by these laws and regulations and to accept responsibility for their conduct. Violations of federal, state, and local laws may be referred to appropriate outside agencies for disposition in addition to any University disciplinary action.

Actions involving a student in a legal proceeding in a civil or criminal court does not free the student of responsibility for his/her conduct in the University judicial system. If the student is charged in both jurisdictions, the University will proceed with its own judicial review process according to its own time table.

The University also reserves the right to initiate disciplinary proceedings against students who have been formally charged with criminal violations off campus by legal or civil authorities or who may have otherwise committed an action off campus which may be related to the security of the University community or the integrity of the educational process. Such discretion rests with the dean of students or the president of the University.

Disciplinary regulations at the University are set forth in writing in order to give students general notice of prohibited conduct. The regulations should be read broadly and are not designed to define misconduct in exhaustive terms. The University reserves the right to interpret conduct which is in violation of these regulations.
