CODE OF BEHAVIORAL STANDARDS
Students enrolled at Logan University are expected to adhere to a standard of behavior consistent with the standards of the institution. Compliance with institutional rules and regulations and city, state, and federal laws is expected.
Students are subject to the same civil laws as other citizens. University policies and regulations are designed to encourage intellectual and personal development of students. Students who violate the law may incur penalties prescribed by civil authorities. Students who violate University regulations in off-campus activities are subject to penalties just as if the violation occurred on campus.
Inappropriate conduct outside the provisions cited in the Code of Academic Conduct is included in the Code of Behavioral Standards. In general, violations of the Code of Behavioral Standards shall initially be investigated and handled by the Dean of Students or their designee. The Dean or designee is encouraged to consult with the Dean of the College.
It is not possible to provide examples of all behavior that would be considered inappropriate, unprofessional, or not in keeping with the standards expected of a student.
