Student Responsibility for Rules and Regulations

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR RULES AND REGULATIONS

Students are responsible for knowing and complying with Flagler College rules and regulations, as published in the Student Handbook and verbal or written policies, as announced by the College administration. This handbook is published for the information of students and is intended to convey expectations regarding the conduct of all Flagler College students. Rules and regulations governing student conduct are prescribed to ensure the safety and well-being of all students and to promote the academic and social purposes of the College. Flagler grants students the privilege of attending the College on the condition that they must comply with its rules, regulations, policies and procedures, as they exist at the time of admission and as they may be amended from time to time. The College reserves the right to suspend or terminate the privilege of attendance, if the student violates the rules of conduct or if the student’s enrollment is deemed contrary to the best interest of the institution. From the time a student applies to the College, until the date at which the student’s enrollment is officially terminated, the College reserves the right to take cognizance of any conduct on the part of the student that may disqualify them from initial enrollment or from continuing enrollment for successive terms. Initial enrollment may be denied to a prospective student who violates any law, statute or ordinance, or who engages in any behavior that would constitute a violation of the College’s standards of conduct. Once enrolled, students are accountable for their conduct both on and off campus. This accountability applies not only during the academic term but also during vacations and periods between academic terms. Accordingly, the violation of any law, statute or ordinance, the violation of College rules, or conduct that reflects discredit upon the institution is subject to review and appropriate disciplinary action, regardless of whether it occurs off campus or between academic terms. At the conclusion of each semester, the College administration will review the academic and disciplinary records of those students who, in the opinion of the designated College official, have failed to make appropriate adjustment to Flagler College and whose continuing enrollment is in question. Any student on suspension will be subject to such review prior to re-enrollment. The College reserves the right to deny, on the basis of the review, continuing or re-enrollment to any student whose presence or conduct is deemed to be contrary to the best interest of the institution. Any student suspended may return after the specified period of the suspension. The College reserves the right to deny continuing or re-enrollment.
