University Code of Student Conduct Summary

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is dedicated to teaching that meets the highest standards of excellence; to conducting research that breaks new ground; and to turning knowledge into solutions for local, national, and global communities. As it was at our founding in 1766, the heart of our mission is preparing students to become productive members of society and good citizens of the world.

When students choose to accept admission to Rutgers University, they accept the rights and responsibilities of membership in the university's academic and social community. As members of the university community, students are expected to uphold our stated values by maintaining a high standard of conduct. Because the university establishes high standards for membership, its standards of conduct may exceed federal, state, or local requirements.

The primary purpose of the student conduct process should be to foster the personal, educational, and social development of students. The process should also serve as deterrence to misconduct to enhance the safety and security of the community.  Students are expected to take responsibility for their conduct. Disciplinary consequences therefore serve both educational and deterrence objectives.
