POLICY

Skagit Valley College provides opportunities for students in pursuit of their educational and employment goals, while contributing to the economic and cultural enrichment of our communities. We do this in a manner that exhibits concern and sensitivity to students, faculty, staff, and others who utilize our services and facilities. It is essential that members of Skagit Valley College exhibit appropriate and conscientious behavior in dealing with others.

We expect all students to conduct themselves according to the standards set below that are consistent with our guiding principles of Respect; Integrity; Open and Honest Communication; and Collaboration. Student conduct which interferes with those standards is not acceptable. Students are expected to comply with these standards for conduct both on and off campus and acknowledge the college’s authority to take necessary disciplinary action.
