Student Conduct

CNCC students do not gain or lose any of the rights and responsibilities of other citizens by virtue of their student status. The college recognizes the student as an adult pursuing an education. Just as a student does not lose citizenship rights upon enrolling at a college, the student also does not become immune to society’s obligations and laws or to responsibilities of daily living in a broader society. In general, behavioral norms expected of the college student are those of common decency and decorum, recognition of the non-infringement upon the rights and property of others and of the college, honesty in academic work and all other activities, and observance of local, state, and federal laws. When students enter college, they take upon themselves certain social responsibilities and obligations including satisfactory performance and social behavior consistent with the lawful purposes of the college. Student conduct, therefore, is not considered in isolation within the college community but as an integral part of the educational process. All students are expected to know and abide by this code of student conduct. Ignorance is not an excuse. As members of the college community, students are also subject to the rules and regulations of the college that are stipulated in the Student Handbook (Code of Conduct and Disciplinary Proceedings) and College Catalog. The handbook can be accessed online on the Student Handbook & Policies Webpage. The catalog can be accessed online on the Course Catalogs Webpage.

Disciplinary action may be taken for failure to comply with rules and regulations of the college and for uncooperative attitude toward the college’s faculty, staff, or fellow students.
