Rules of conduct

RULES OF CONDUCT The University of Minnesota regards all students as responsible citizens who have the same obligations as other citizens to observe the laws of the United States and the local and national laws of the host country. The University does not regard itself or its members as above the law in any way. In addition, as members of an academic community, students assume rights and responsibilities inherent to the nature of that community and bear a responsibility to preserve a collegiate environment that encourages the maximum development of students. The Board of Regents Policy: Student Conduct Code governs the conduct of U of M students (www1.umn.edu/regents/policies/academic/Student_Conduct_Code.pdf). Students who participate in U of M Learning Abroad Center programs are enrolled at the University of Minnesota and are subject to the provisions of the Student Conduct Code to the same extent they would be if studying on a U of M campus. Any student who engages in conduct that violates the Student Conduct Code will be subject to review and sanctions, including, where appropriate, dismissal from the program. This will be done in consultation with the Office of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity (OSCAI) and prior violations will be considered. Information regarding students who violate U of M policies will be provided to the students’ home schools. The Student Conduct Code incorporates other rules and policies that students are responsible for knowing and following. Students must review and be familiar with: 1) the Student Conduct Code; 2) this policy; 3) the information on the website (UMabroad.umn.edu/policies); 4) the information in the Program Handbook, as well as the information in any program guide or other regulations that are communicated in writing to the U of M study abroad program participants. Students are responsible for complying with all provisions of the Student Conduct Code and other University policies and regulations. The list below highlights areas of the Student Conduct Code that are of particular concern:
