Student Code of Conduct
CODE OF STUDENT CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINE
Admission to the College confers special benefits not available to all citizens, but acceptance of the benefits imposes additional responsibilities. When a student enters Ranger College, it is assumed that they have a serious purpose and a sincere interest in their development. It is the intent of the College to grant the student as much freedom as is compatible with the ordinary rules of society governing the proper conduct of all citizens. Definite disciplinary regulations are, therefore, kept to a minimum. Enrollment at Ranger College signifies that a student recognizes the authority of the College, and they agree to abide by the policies and regulations of the College or its representatives.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR KNOWLEDGE OF POLICIES, RULES, AND REGULATIONS
Students are expected to maintain conduct that supports the educational environment. Ranger College prohibits discrimination, harassment, and retaliation based on race, color, national origin, religion, age, disability, or any other basis prohibited by law. This includes intimidation, coercion, or retaliation against individuals who report misconduct. All students must comply with policies outlined in DIAB(Local) and FFDB(Local) which can be found on the Ranger College website. The Code of Student Conduct is subject to change by action of the Board of Regents. Each student should be familiar with all published policies, rules and regulations of the College. Copies of such documents will be available to the student for inspection in the Campus Support Services offices and on the Ranger College webpage (https://www.rangercollege.edu/student-services/title-ix/#gsc.tab=0). The student is responsible for obtaining published materials to update the items in this code. Each student is expected to comply with the college’s established policies, rules and regulations as well as federal, state, and local laws. This principle extends to conduct off campus which is likely to have adverse effect on the college, or on the educational process, or which characterizes the offender as an unfit associate for other students. STUDENT MISCONDUCT Each student is expected to act in a manner consistent with a college student attending an educational institution. Any individual or student organization guilty of misconduct while enrolled at Ranger College is subject to disciplinary sanction(s), condition(s) and/or restriction(s). Actions and behavior constituting misconduct or prohibited behavior are detailed in the Student Handbook in the section on student misconduct.
