Code of Conduct for Brightpoint Students

This Student Code of Conduct outlines the expectations of students enrolled at Brightpoint Community College. Students are subject to college jurisdiction, meaning it is expected that the Conduct Code be maintained while a student is at the college. By enrolling, students agree to adhere to college policies and contribute to a respectful academic environment. The college reserves the right to take disciplinary action against any student whose conduct, in the opinion of college representatives, adversely affects the college’s pursuit of its educational objectives. Students who are involved in the conduct process should expect any sanctions imposed to be enforced at all college campuses and outreach centers.

The Code of Conduct shall apply both to the conduct of individual students as well as student organizations. Each recognized student organization’s activities and the activities of its members will not violate federal, state, or local law; or the college’s Code of Conduct.

The Code of Conduct applies to all student activities within the college, VCCS, or their foundations’ programs or activities wherever located. The Code of Conduct also applies to all student conduct occurring on the college campus and on any property owned, leased, or operated by the college, VCCS, or their foundations. The Code of Conduct additionally applies to any property used as a student residence and in regard to which students have expressly agreed to abide by or provided written consent to be governed by college policies. The Code of Conduct also applies to acts of misconduct or criminal acts that are not committed on college property if the acts arise from college activities that are being conducted off the college’s campuses, or if the conduct undermines the security of the college community or the integrity of the educational process or poses a serious threat to self or others.
