Vision, Mission, and Guiding Principles for SCUHS

Engaging in any non-University sponsored activity where money or other things of value are at stake while on
University property is not permitted. Please refer to the University’s Gambling Policy in Volume II of the SCUHS
Policy Manual for additional information.
Harassment
(SCU Policy 6.5.1.11)
SCUHS maintains a strict policy prohibiting unlawful harassment and discrimination, including sexual
harassment. Please refer to Volume II of SCUHS Policy Manual for the University’s complete Discrimination and
Harassment Policy.
Hate Crimes/Conduct
(SCU Policy 6.5.1.12)
SCUHS takes Hate Crimes very seriously. All members of the University community are entitled to a learning or
working environment free of discrimination based on a protected status as set forth in the University’s
Commitment to Diversity and Non-Discrimination Policy. In addition to applicable criminal statutes, Hate Crimes
and “Bias Incidents”, whether occurring on or off campus, are considered violations of the Student Code of
Conduct. A “Bias Incident” is defined as behavior or actions discriminating against another based on a protected
status. Those committing a hate crime must understand that the penalties for hate crimes are very serious
under local penal law.
Off-Campus Events
(SCU Policy 6.5.1.13)
Inappropriate conduct that occurs at off-campus events is subject to University conduct review, regardless of
whether or not the event was University-sponsored. A student’s off-campus behavior that negatively affects the
mission or reputation of the University or profession is always subject to conduct review, irrespective of the
behavior’s ultimate legality or outcome.
Professionalism
(SCU Policy 6.5.1.14)
Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner, both inside and outside of the
classroom. Professionalism may be assessed by instructors and SCUHS officials, but may not count towards the
course grade. Professionalism includes, but is not limited to, adherence to Academic Integrity Code, engaging in
respectful communication with faculty, peers and staff, and being considerate of the needs of others. Students
can also expect professional behavior of faculty and staff at SCUHS.
Rape and Sexual Assault
(SCU Policy 6.5.1.15)
SCUHS maintains a strict policy prohibiting unlawful sexual contact, including the serious crimes of rape and
sexual assault. Please refer to Volume II of the SCUHS Policy Manual for the University’s complete rape and
sexual assault policy.
