Students contribute to the campus community in many ways:

• academic progress
• skills and achievements
• success and growth

They also have an impact on the campus through their behavior. When students violate the Code of Academic Integrity or the Code of Conduct, they infringe upon what the community has defined as acceptable behavior. The Dean of Students Office enforces these codes as a way of instilling a strong sense of community, and in doing so, adopts an educational perspective.
