Each member of the Central Michigan community assumes an obligation regarding self-conduct to act in a manner consistent with a respect for the rights of others and with the University’s function as an educational institution. As a guide for individuals and groups, the University put together general principles of conduct. These principles serve as the basis for regulations concerning student conduct. The Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Disciplinary Procedures is the document which contains all this information and can be found all over campus and online.
