The Office of Student Conduct at Penn State University is one of the 19 units within the Division of Student Affairs. The Office of Student Conduct serves as a valuable resource for the university community by promoting a safe living and learning environment.

The university identifies unacceptable student behavior in a document called the Code of Conduct. Familiarize yourself with the expectations of the Code of Conduct and allow it to guide you through your everyday decision-making both in and out of the classroom. Knowing what is considered acceptable and honorable behavior is often the first step to making that a way of life.

The judicial process begins when students do not ascribe to the ideals of the Code. If the terms or procedures (PDF) of the judicial process are unfamiliar to you, use our reference page for more information. For answers to frequently asked questions, start with our FAQs page.

So let the Code of Conduct guide your moral compass in the right direction. For the glory of Old State, know and uphold the Code.
