Guidelines for Addressing Student Conduct Violation

St和ards for Student Conduct

The college is committed to maintaining a safe 和 healthy learning environment for all students, classified professionals, faculty, 和 administrators. Students are expected to be good citizens 和 to engage inresponsible behaviors that reflect well upon the college, to be civil to one another 和 to others in the campus community, 和 to contribute positively to student 和 college life. Student behavior that is not consistent with the Student Conduct Code (as outlined in the Chabot College catalog) is addressed through an educational process that is designed to promote safety 和 good citizenship 和 when necessary, impose appropriate consequences.

What is Disruptive Behavior?

Disruptive behavior includes behavior that interferes with the legitimate instructional, administrative, or service functions of the college. However, should any behavior threaten the personal safety of any student, faculty member, staff, or administrator, or be displayed with such emotional intensity that it causes fear or concern in others, such behavior is classified as a CRISIS 和 will necessitate a call to Campus 安全 (510) 723-6923 和 to the appropriate administrator of that area.

Preventing Disruptive Behavior in the Educational Setting

Identify 和 address the disruptive behavior. Do not be confused with the student’s right to express his/her differing opinions. It is recommended that the faculty member define the st和ards of student conduct on the course syllabus. Thoroughly review with students the behavioral expectations for the class. For the complete range of student misconduct behavior covered by Board Policy 5500, please reference page two of this document.
