As an intensely residential institution of higher education, St. Olaf College works to facilitate a community environment that supports the holistic development of our students. Students are key members of the St. Olaf community and as such, the College expects students to accept responsibility for participating in this community in ways that are positive and supportive of themselves and of the community as a whole.
Expectations of members of this community:
- Behave with integrity in all things
- Behave in ways that show care for self, for each other and for this place
To this end, St. Olaf details parameters for behavior that all students are expected to uphold. When student behavior does not meet the parameters listed below, the College works with those involved to consider the impact of their behavior on the community and themselves.
The following list of proscribed conduct has been reviewed by members of the College faculty, staff and student body in consultation with an external consultant in order to provide a code for student conduct that is equitable and clear. Students found responsible for not meeting any of the following parameters will be expected to work with College staff to address the concerning behavior.
Parameters for behavior and possible sanctions are outlined in the conduct procedures page below:
