Student Code of Conduct

Nevada State University’s Student Code of Conduct establishes high standards of behavior for students. The Student Code of Conduct and its associated processes for resolving misconduct charges are intended to teach students to live and act responsibly in a community. As students participate in the campus community and its sponsored activities, they are responsible for their own actions and are subject to local, state, and federal laws and all Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) and Nevada State University policies, procedures, rules, and regulations.

The Student Code of Conduct functions as an aspect of the University’s educational process. Nevada State University’s leadership views the Student Code of Conduct as not only a disciplinary policy, but also a learning experience for the student involved. This may result in individual student growth, changes in behavior, and increased understanding of the student’s responsibilities and privileges within the University community.

The goals of the Student Code of Conduct are to promote a campus environment that supports the educational mission of the University; to protect the University community from disruption and harm; to encourage appropriate standards of individual and group behavior; and to foster ethical standards and civic virtues. The aim is to keep students enrolled in classes and retained at Nevada State if possible and to give them an opportunity to learn from their decisions and behaviors.
