THE CONDUCT CODE AT LONGWOOD UNIVERSITY

"What you do speaks so loud, that I can not hear what you say."

 Ralph Waldo Emerson, American author. 

 

Philosophy of the Judicial System

The Judicial  Board
  • Board members are students elected each year by the student body.  Open positions after elections are filled by nominations and interviews.
  • The Judicial  Board meets every Tuesday and Wednesday  at 7:00 PM while classes are in session.
  • The Judicial Board hears alleged violations of the Code of Conduct.
  • The Judicial Board may issue sanctions up to Permanent Dismissal.
  • Specific information about Code of Conduct violations and hearing procedures is in the Student Handbook.

The primary purpose of the Longwood University Judicial System is to promote responsible citizenship, appropriate behavior, and self-discipline through enforcement of the Code of Conduct Standards and Regulations.

All students, groups, and organizations are expected to abide by these standards, and demonstrate respect for the rights of others to live, study, teach, learn and work in a campus community dedicated to academic achievement, service, and a strong quality of life.

Because the Judicial System is committed to fostering the intellectual, personal, and social development of students, those found in violation of the Code of Conduct will, through appropriate sanctioning, be held accountable for their actions and given the opportunity to redirect their behavior in a manner consistent with the educational mission and values of the University.
