This code of student conduct protects the unique, diverse community of Wenatchee Valley College. Admission to the college carries with it an expectation that the student will obey appropriate laws, will comply with the policies and procedures of the college, and will maintain a high standard of integrity and honesty. If a student does not accept these responsibilities, corrective action must be taken. The college will impose and carry out sanctions for conduct that interferes with the operation of college. The college may impose sanctions independently of any action taken by civil or criminal authorities. In the case of minors, misconduct may be referred to parents or legal guardians.
