The University Philosophy on Student Discipline
The University’s philosophy on student discipline is educational in nature. The University recognizes that students will make mistakes and some poor choices at times. SCEA is charged with helping students learn from their choices and holding them accountable for their behavior. Students learn from their coursework, but also from their nonacademic behavior. SCEA assists students in ethical, personal, and intellectual development as well as developing character and integrity. SCEA offers education, challenge, and support to students struggling with behavioral issues, as well as makes referrals for counseling, programming, and service learning.
