About the Code of Conduct
In any democratic society it is assumed that the individual’s moral integrity and character are such that one is able to discipline oneself and does not require countless rules and laws. There is need, however, for some common customs, regulations and procedures in order that harmonious relationships may be maintained among the various members of the group and the rights of all may be protected.
Arcadia University regards all students as responsible citizens who have the same obligations as other citizens to observe the laws of the township, the commonwealth, and the national government. The University does not regard itself or its members above the law in any way.
As a member of an academic community, you assume rights and responsibilities which are inherent to the nature of that community and bear a responsibility to preserve a collegiate environment which encourages the maximum development of your fellow students.
You are reminded that existing regulations are binding and that you are responsible for the information in this Student Handbook and for any overriding amendments which will be communicated in writing to the community. These policies are considered vital to community welfare, high standards of integrity and your safety.
