The Code of Student Behavioral Expectations & Responsibilities

A College community is defined by its values for learning, teaching, and service that reflect academic excellence, holistic student development, and societal impact. To guide student success, the Colorado Community College System (CCCS) has created the Code of Student Behavioral Expectations and Responsibilities (Code), which includes standards of behavior that support an engaged learning environment for all students. The Code embraces the institutional values of integrity, excellence, learning, diversity, intellectual freedom, and equal opportunity, and is rooted in conflict resolution practice to support students in resolving their own conflicts.

The Dean of Student Success is authorized to enact the Code and utilize the Code procedures to support students while holding them accountable to the behavior that supports CCA's mission and vision. The outcomes of the student conduct process are designed to assist students in their development, help them think through their moral and ethical decision-making, and realign their behavior with the college's expectations. In certain incidents, this may involve separation from CCA either temporarily or permanently. 

Outcomes are assigned based on the severity of the violation, cumulative conduct history, and educational needs of the student.

Students are provided a copy of the Code and are responsible for reading and adhering to the Code. The Code in no way creates a contractual obligation and CCCS reserves the right to revise the procedure at any time.
