Student org conduct policies Student Organizations are expected to adhere to all applicable institutional regulations. The University reserves the right to determine the appropriate time, place, content, and manner for conducting activities, and posting and distribution of materials on any of its campuses. Consequently, the University may deny or restrict the activities of student organizations. Student organizations are expected to exercise good judgment in planning and promoting their activities. Failure to do so may result in conduct action being initiated against the organization; consequently, policies, procedures and sanctions set forth within the Code of Conduct apply to student organizations collectively as well as to individual students. The Office of Student Involvement will work in conjunction with the Vice President of Students Affairs Office in any conduct action.
