Student Code of Conduct
It is the policy of the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) to provide technical, adult education and TCSG high school programs for the people of Georgia. TCSG's Technical Colleges must provide intellectual, emotional, social, and physical growth opportunities. Technical College students assume an obligation to act in a manner compatible with fulfilling the mission. The Technical College community recognizes its responsibility to provide an atmosphere conducive to growth. The TCSG establishes this Student Code of Conduct with these principles in mind, to which all students are held subject.
Generally, Technical College jurisdiction and discipline shall be limited to conduct which occurs on Technical College Premises, off-campus classes, activities or functions sponsored by the Technical College, an examination or any other written or oral work submitted for evaluation and/or a grade, or which otherwise adversely affects members of the Technical College community and/or the pursuit of the Technical College's objectives.
Students are subject to all laws, the enforcement of which is the responsibility of duly constituted authorities. When students violate laws, they may incur penalties prescribed by legal authorities. In such instances, college discipline will be initiated if the student's presence on campus is considered a threat to persons or property or if that person's presence may disrupt the educational process of the college. However, when a student's violation of the law also adversely affects the college's recognized educational objectives or violates its Student Code of Conduct, the college will enforce its regulations. When students violate college regulations, they are subject to disciplinary action by the college whether their conduct violates the law.
