Each student has a responsibility to observe and to maintain a code of personal behavior and social relationships which will contribute to the educational responsibility of Dakota College. The conduct of a student is expected to reflect a responsible attitude toward campus regulations as well as the laws of the community, the state, and the nation. These standards apply to all students for as long as they are a part of the academic community and may be higher than the behavioral expectations of society at large. Cases of misconduct will be investigated by the Student Conduct Committee and the Associate Dean for Student Services. When necessary, appropriate actions will be taken to sanction students who violate the school’s conduct code. The written policies on student conduct are published in the Student Handbook and on the website at https://www.dakotacollege.edu/handbook/
