Student Behavior Expectations
All members of the Sierra College District and the Roseville Joint Union High School District are committed to providing a safe learning environment for all students. The college’s policies and procedures are designed to safeguard this opportunity. Students attending Sierra College or attending any school of RJUHSD will have full access to the rules and regulations under which these institutions operate and will be assured an impartial hearing in instances when a regulation allegedly is violated.
Students enrolled in Sierra College District and the Roseville Joint Union High School District are expected to conduct themselves as responsible citizens and in a manner compatible with the community college function as an educational institution. Students are subject to civil authority and to the specific regulations established by both Sierra Community College and RJUHSD. Violators shall be subject to disciplinary action, including possible cancellation of registration in the community college district and may be denied future admission to Sierra College.
Academic Dishonesty - Sierra College
Success in college, as in other aspects of life, demands absolute honesty at all times. Sierra College expects that students, as well as faculty, will observe the principles of ethical conduct in their treatment of fellow members of the academic community and in their accomplishment of academic work. Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with these principles as they pertain to each course in which they enroll. When completing assignments, students should be careful to follow the principles of ethical conduct. Students who are uncertain about the ethics involved in particular courses or assignments should make it a point to talk with instructors. Proven misconduct or violation of these principles will be disciplined as set forth in this policy. The instructor has absolute authority over issuing the final course grade (Education Code, Section 76224).
It is important to remember that the principles of academic honesty in no way restrict free inquiry and the open exchange of diverse, and sometimes unpopular, ideas. Thus, the college encourages them, for they are vital to learning and the pursuit of reason and truth.
Sierra College - Student Rights and Responsibilities
By enrolling in Sierra College, a student agrees to be a responsible member of the District community; obey the law; comply with the published rules and regulations of the District; respect the rights, privileges and property of the other members of the District community; and not interfere with legitimate District affairs.
Each student is responsible to adhere to the policies and procedures of Sierra College, as well as all federal, state, and local laws. All rules and regulations applying to conduct also apply to student employees, whether all or a portion of the salary is paid by the District.
