What is the Code of Student Conduct?
Appalachian State University is an academic community dedicated to teaching, scholarship, research, service, and the holistic development of students. As an academic community, the University has an interest in the safety, welfare, and education of the members of this community and in fostering an environment consistent with the educational mission, purpose, and processes of the University. When students voluntarily enter the University, they assume obligations of performance and behavior relevant to the University’s mission, processes, and functions. Expectations of students in an academic community may be higher than those of other citizens.
