The Conduct board is charged with the responsibility of protecting and enforcing the rules and regulations set down in the Ithaca College Student Conduct Code's ‘Statement of Responsibilities’. The Conduct Review Board hears cases of alleged academic and non-academic misconduct by Ithaca College students. The Board will determine if a student should be found responsible for the charge(s) they allegedly violated, and if found responsible, impose judicial sanctions that range from written warning to removal from the College. The goal of the judicial system is the balance between holding a student accountable for their actions and providing an educational component to their sanction that impacts them in a positive manner and helps them to make more thoughtful decisions in the future. We strive to assist students in becoming positive and successful members of the Ithaca College community.
