Introduction |
Higher education plays a vital role in educating future leaders by providing students with educational opportunities both in and outside of the classroom. The more time and energy students invest in educationally purposeful activities, the more they gain from their education. Learning is as much a social activity as a solitary endeavor.
To ensure that NDSU students have an opportunity to gain the most from their education, they are encouraged to participate as committed citizens of the community. Part of being a committed citizen is to act in a civil and responsible manner, accept responsibility for actions, and serve as a positive role model for others. Citizenship includes knowing and following local, state, and federal laws and the University’s Code of Student Behavior. Every NDSU student has the responsibility to observe and to help maintain a code of personal behavior that contributes to the educational effectiveness of the University.
The Code of Student Behavior identifies core values that are important to an educationally purposeful environment. These values are Respect for the NDSU Community and Respect for the Protection and Rights of Others. Our goal with this Code is educational and developmental as we work with students.
The purpose of this value is to communicate the importance of conducting oneself in a manner that does not negatively affect the educational mission of the University or the welfare of oneself or others. Respect for the NDSU community includes promoting an environment that is conducive to learning and nurturing a sense of shared and mutual community responsibility. Community also involves an awareness of how personal decisions affect others.
The purpose of this value is to communicate the importance that the University places on respect for the protection and rights of others. Behaviors that inhibit the educational process, whether they occur on the University premises and/or in association with activities sponsored or supervised by the University on or off campus, are of concern. A community that respects the protection and rights of others is necessary in order to provide a positive and enriching educational environment.
The University’s relationship is with students and our goal is to work with students in an educational and developmental manner, and assisting them to reflect on and grow from their personal experiences. For this reason other persons may not participate in our process. However, a person may be present as an advisor.
