Dean of Students

The Student Development office is responsible for maintaining the well-being of CAC within the boundaries of student behavior on- and off-campus. CAC requires students to follow a code of conduct that emphasizes important values for both the campus community and the workplace.

Student Code of Conduct

The Student Code of Conduct (the Code) is designed to uphold the freedoms and rights of all members of the College community while ensuring that the College can function in an environment free from disruption. The Code establishes clear expectations for student behavior and provides a framework for maintaining an orderly, respectful, and stable campus climate.

It outlines students’ rights and responsibilities and sets forth equitable and consistent procedures to address potential violations. Students accused of misconduct are guaranteed due process and, if found responsible for such misconduct, are subject to fair and appropriate disciplinary action.

Additionally, appeals are available for certain outcomes as set forth in the Student Code of Conduct Procedure. All students are expected to familiarize themselves with and adhere to the standards and procedures outlined within this Code.

Please view the Code in the Student Handbook

If you would like to notify campus officials of a student issue or conduct concern, please use the Incident Reporting Form.

We work with a variety of offices across campus and across the district to ensure our students and employees are aware of pertinent information regarding health, safety and civic obligations.
