Code of Student Conduct
The primary purpose of the Code of Student Conduct is to establish standards and procedures necessary to maintain a community conducive to learning, whether on-campus or online, and to advance the educational objectives of Oregon State University (OSU). The Code of Student Conduct promotes an environment that values inclusivity and respectful discourse. This Code applies to students at OSU and is based on the belief that all persons should treat one another with dignity and respect for scholarship to thrive. Acknowledging that learning occurs in a multitude of places, OSU believes a set of community standards develops professionalism and decision-making in all students. OSU encourages exemplary conduct by balancing the rights of the individual student with responsibility to the larger community.
