STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
Fisher College has a rich tradition in which all members of the community teach and learn in an environment conducive
to intellectual and moral development. All members of the Fisher College community must take responsibility for their
actions and be willing to accept the consequences of their actions.
Experience demonstrates that most inappropriate behavior will involve violations of more than one sections of the
Student Code of Conduct and so may require sanctions beyond those minimums spelled out in this Code.
The following list of sanctions is meant to be illustrative rather than exhaustive. The College reserves the right to create
other sanctions given the nature of the misconduct. Please note that the Student Code of Conduct detailed forthwith
refers to the non-academic Code of Conduct. Questions regarding Academic Misconduct will be referred to the Vice
President for Academic Affairs.
TYPES OF SANCTIONS
Sanctions are grouped in three categories: the first is referred to as College Sanctions, the second as Residential
Sanctions, and the third as Administrative Sanctions. College Sanctions apply to all students (commuters and residential);
Residential Sanctions apply only to residential students. Therefore, a residential student might be subjected
to a residential sanction, a college sanction, or both, depending on the severity of the incident he/she was involved
in. Administrative Sanctions apply to all students and are usually immediate, emergency sanctions that recognize the
urgent and grave nature of an allegation or incident. It is usually used to stop a highly dangerous situation from getting
out of hand or to protect the welfare, life, or property of some other party. These sanctions are typically followed by the
Student Conduct Process and remain in effect, at least, until that process is complete. Administrative Sanctions may
jeopardize a student’s position both in the College and the Residence Hall.
College Sanctions include:
1. Warning. A notice in writing to the student that he student is violating or has violated institutional regulations.
2. Probation. A written reprimand for violation of specified regulations. Probation is for a designated period of time
and includes the probability of more severe disciplinary sanctions if the student is found to violate any institutional
regulation(s) during the probationary period.
3. Loss of Privileges. Denial of specified privileges for a designated period of time.
4. Fines. Previously established and published fines may be imposed.
5. Restitution. Compensation for loss, damage, or injury. This may take the form of appropriate service and/or
monetary replacement.
6. Discretionary Sanctions. Work assignments, essays, service to the college, or other related discretionary
assignments.
