What is the student code of conduct?


Skagit Valley College students are expected to fulfill certain responsibilities and expectations as a member of the Skagit Valley College community. Students must assume responsibility for their own actions and maintain an environment conducive to the academic success, safety, and well-being of others. In addition, they are expected to be truthful, respect the rights of others, and abide by all college policies and procedures, and local, state, and federal laws and regulations. All students are responsible for understanding and complying with the responsibilities and expectations set forth in the code of conduct.
