2-ANCILLARY SERVICES
Students have the responsibility to familiarize themselves with the
Code of Student Conduct: Non-Academic and the conduct expected
of them while studying at Algoma U.
Students are both members of Canadian society in general and of
the University community. Therefore, they must observe not only
Federal, Provincial and Municipal laws but also Algoma U policies
and regulations.
Students should also recognize that membership in one community
does not confer any form of immunity from the requirements or
sanctions of the other. Regardless of the actions or inaction of any
authority outside the university, a student found responsible for
misconduct under this Code is subject to its disciplinary sanctions
within the university system.
DEFINITION OF A STUDENT:
For the purposes of the Code, a student is any full-time, part-time,
distance-education, audit-status, or non-credit student who, in her
or his status as student, has access to Algoma U services, programs
or activities.
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT:
Behaviour must adhere to all policies and procedures established
by Algoma University, including but not limited to:
- Residence
- Health and safety
- Campus Bar
- Athletics and Recreation
- All other Algoma University policies and
protocols
Students are expected to be responsible for their actions whether
acting individually or in a group.
A student host is responsible for the conduct of his/her authorized
guest including any violation(s) of this Code to the extent that she/
he could have (i) reasonable foreseen the problem and/or, (ii) taken
steps to prevent the violation and/or (iii) minimized the effect of the
guest’s behaviour;
Behaviour must not harm or threaten harm to any of the following:
A) the safety and well-being of members or guests of the Algoma U
community;
B) the rights of members or guests of the Algoma U community;
C) the proper functioning of Algoma U programs or activities, both
on or off campus;
D) the property (physical and intellectual) of the Algoma U or
members or guests of the university community.
