STUDENT LIFE
The Student Life staff is concerned with providing those services which
assist individuals in their personal growth. Their purpose is to provide
assistance which facilitates the development of the total person. At
LaGrange College, the emphasis is upon the intellectual, social, physical and
spiritual development of each student.
Student Life involves a wide variety of programs and activities. The broad
range of available services is an outgrowth of complex student needs:
orientation, activities, student government, organizations, health services,
wellness programs, parking, food service, discipline, leadership
development, personal counseling, career development and placement,
fraternities and sororities, and all residence programming. The Student Life
staff is committed to creating a positive climate within which personal
growth and development occur.
STUDENT CONDUCT / SOCIAL CODE
LaGrange College, as a church-related college, is committed to an
honorable standard of conduct. As an educational institution the College is
concerned not only with the formal in-class education of its students, but
also with their welfare and their growth into mature men and women who
conduct themselves responsibly as citizens.
Like the Honor Code, the Social Code is the responsibility of every
student, faculty member, and staff member at LaGrange College. The
Social Code attempts to instill in every member of the student body a sense
of moral and community responsibility. As such, LaGrange College
expects its students to adhere to community standards. Likewise, if some
fail to live up to these codes of conduct, the College expects students to
report violations of the Social Code to the Social Council. In this way,
students assume the obligation of upholding the integrity of their
community and of ethically preparing themselves for the world beyond
college.
The College has established guidelines and policies to assure the wellbeing
of the community. In general, the College’s jurisdiction is limited to
events that occur on College property; however, the College and the Social
Council reserve the right to hear cases that concern students’ behavior
when they are off-campus in the name of the College (e.g., with a Jan Term
travel course, an academic fieldtrip, or a campus organization social),
especially when such situations could be regarded as an adverse reflection
on the College’s mission.
