The Student Conduct Policy applies to the conduct of every individual student (undergraduate, graduate, Adult Students, etc.) from the time an offer of admission is extended and thereafter as long as the student has a continuing educational relationship with the University. The Student Conduct Policy covers conduct at all campus and at University-sponsored events, including but not limited to field trips, athletic events, and conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students who travel for academic, athletic, or other purposes for Indiana Tech are expected to treat property (hotel rooms, athletic venues, rental cars, eating establishments, etc.) and individuals in a respectful manner.  Damage caused to property and\/or injury to others due to an intentional act or act of negligence will be the sole responsibility of the student. Indiana Tech has the right to hold the student accountable for the financial ramifications of the student\u2019s intentional or negligent acts, either through personal insurance or otherwise. Students participating in travel associated with Indiana Tech agree to indemnify Indiana Tech for all damages, costs, and attorney fees arising out of damage to property and\/or injury to others caused by the student\u2019s intentional or negligent acts, including costs and attorney fees associated with Indiana Tech\u2019s efforts to obtain indemnification from the student.   <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Student Conduct Policy may also apply to actions off campus when the Associate Vice President Student Services\/Title IX Coordinator (or designee) determines that the off-campus conduct affects a substantial University interest, including posing a danger to health or safety, impinging on another\u2019s rights or property or causing social disorder. The Student Code of Conduct is also applicable to guests of community members, whose hosts may be held accountable for the misconduct of their guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, students who exhibit conduct that is contrary to the University Code of Ethics (Honesty, Accountability, Respect, and Professionalism), the University Core Values (Respect, Commitment, Honesty, Passion, Integrity, and Belonging), or the University Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion are also subject to conduct policy violation considerations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
