Voorhees College strives to maintain a community that promotes and values the academic experience, institutional and personal integrity, justice, equality, and diversity. The College, therefore, believes in values that foster an environment where people can work, study, and recreate together as a community.

In establishing this community, it is necessary to state behavioral expectations for all students, which promote the values that the College has stated are necessary. The purpose of the Student Code of Conduct is to outline these behavioral expectations, and to provide an explanation of the process involved for responding to allegations of student misconduct, as well as detailing what actions the College shall take in dealing with policy violations.

A student attending Voorhees College agrees to be governed by the Student Code of Conduct, as well as other College policies. The Student Code of Conduct applies to each student who is enrolled, whether on campus or off, during sessions, or between semesters. The College, through the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, maintains the exclusive authority to impose sanctions for behaviors that violate the Student Code of Conduct.

The purpose of publishing disciplinary regulations is to give students general notice of prohibited behavior. This Code is not written with the specificity of a criminal statute. These regulations should be read broadly and are not designed to define prohibited behavior in exhaustive terms.

All students at Voorhees College have access to the Student Code of Conduct. Copies of the Student Code of Conduct are available from each residence hall staff office, the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, Student Activities, and the Student Government Association.
