Student Conduct and Ethics

The fundamental purpose of the Student Conduct Office is to promote student success, accountability, and integrity by upholding policies, procedures, and outreach that foster a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment in which students can thrive.

Our office provides support to students, faculty, and staff on matters of misconduct or conflict according to the Student Conduct Code and Homewood Undergraduate Academic Ethics Policies. The essential aim is to promote ethical citizenship among students, reduce harm, and encourage community responsibility. As soon as your student accepted the offer of admission, they became a member of the Johns Hopkins community, no matter their location, and must respect and adhere to the Student Conduct Code and Homewood Undergraduate Academic Ethics Policies. When students make choices that are counter to the university’s mission, the goal is to provide clear outcomes for unacceptable behavior and foster responsible decisionmaking skills among students. Potential violations of university policy are resolved on a case-bycase basis with a balance of care and accountability. Cases are handled and resolved directly with students.
