ABOUT THE STANDARDS OF STUDENT CONDUCT

Los Medanos College is committed to maintaining a safe and productive learning environment. To promote this commitment, the Governing Board and Chancellor have established standards for student conduct. Students shall conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the following standards while on campus, when participating in online or hybrid courses, and while attending college-sponsored events or programs. These include, but are not limited to, field trips, student conferences, athletic contests, club-sponsored events, and study abroad programs, regardless of location.

REPORTING A STUDENT CONDUCT VIOLATION

Reporting violations of the Standards of Student Conduct assists the College in identifying and discouraging behavior that conflicts with the building of a safe, strong and just community that respects and protects the diverse interests and goals of all members of the college community, and the ability for Los Medanos College to provide the highest-quality learning and working environment for our community.
