Student Code of Conduct<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Student Code of Conduct<\/a> provides a framework to resolve incidents of non-academic student misconduct and an understanding of the rights, responsibilities, and standards of conduct expected of all students at Niagara College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Student Rights and Responsibilities Office<\/a> (SRRO) manages reports of non-academic student misconduct and supports accountability, and the informal resolution of issues where possible. We have a shared responsibility as a campus community to foster a safe, respectful and welcoming learning, working, and living environment. Incidents of non-academic misconduct are resolved through the fair processes outlined in the Student Code of Conduct policy and procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SRRO also provides several resources<\/a> to support students, including information about the Consent is Key campaign<\/a> to combat sexual and gender-based violence, and a detailed set of Netiquette Tips for Online Classrooms<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
