I. Purpose
Valdosta State University is a community dedicated to academic excellence, personal growth, and social responsibility. Entering the university community requires a commitment to maintaining standards of civil behavior. This student code of conduct establishes expectations to ensure a safe, supportive, and inclusive educational environment.
The Blazer Creed outlines the University’s core values of integrity, civility, and citizenship. Adopting these values encourages student accountability, student engagement, and student success – both in and outside the classroom. Students at VSU are expected to read, understand, and follow the student code of conduct. Unfamiliarity with the code is not a valid excuse for infractions of the regulations. Knowledge of these regulations will help the student and student organizations/groups in exercising their rights and avoid infringement on the rights of others. The processes outlined in the code exist to educate and respond to students and student organizations/groups whose conduct does not align with university expectations.
Students accused of violations of local, state, or federal laws that adversely affect the interests of the University may also be subject to the appropriate Valdosta State University conduct process (arrests should be reported to SCOTIX at the student’s earliest convenience).
