Vision, Mission, and Guiding Principles for SCUHS

Submission of a student’s work that has previously counted in another unit of study is not allowed, unless

Introduction
(SCU Policy 6.5.1.1)
SCUHS is committed to providing a campus that is safe and secure, and that allows students to develop as
professional individuals and responsible citizens. Students are expected to behave in ways that are respectful of
the rights of all members of the SCUHS community to learn, work, practice and teach. The Student Code of
Ethics is meant to address any student behaviors that disrupt or detract from the goals of the University. To
learn more about the principles guiding the Code of Ethics and Judicial Process at SCUHS, please consult the
Judicial Handbook.
Students are expected to maintain themselves at all times in a manner befitting a professional institution.
Unprofessional conduct at the University will not be tolerated. Students should realize that their enrollment at
SCUHS is a privilege, not a right, and carries with it obligations with regard to conduct, not only inside but also
outside the classrooms. In addition, students are subject to the laws governing the community, as well as the
rules and regulations of the University.
Students are also expected to observe the standards of professional conduct, dress, and appearance approved
by the University and the profession. Personal conduct and appearance are outward expressions of character.
