An important part of fulfilling the College’s mission is providing a student discipline
process that promotes student accountability and social responsibility, as well as
maintaining a college environment that is respectful, inclusive, and collegial that is free

Any conduct or behavior that disrupts the learning environment is a potential violation of
the Student Code of Conduct (BP 5500) as written in the Citrus College catalog. Any
conduct or behavior that interferes with any students attaining his or hers academic goals,
maintaining the orderly operations of the College, or presents a threat to the health and
safety of the campus community is a behavior of concern. College faculty, staff,
administrators, and students are encouraged to report violations to the Dean of Students
and disciplinary actions may be taken.

environment that is safe, friendly, accessible and free of all forms of discrimination,
sexual harassment, and sexual misconduct, including sexual assault, domestic and dating

experiences gender-based violence (intimate partner violence, attempted or completed
sexual assault, harassment, coercion, stalking, etc.), know that you are not alone.

Please be aware that all Citrus College faculty are responsible employees with reporting
responsibilities and obligations. This means that if you tell me about a situation, I may
have to report the information to the appropriate college administrator.
