Office of Student Accountability, Standards and Education
Overview
Welcome to the Office of Student Accountability, Standards and Education formerly known as the Office of Community Standards and Student Conduct. Kean University is committed to providing a campus environment where students can grow intellectually and develop as people. The Kean community depends on shared values and principles.
The Student Code of Conduct is a guide to our community values. These core values include integrity, community, fairness, respect and responsibility. Students and visitors are expected to uphold and abide by the standards of conduct that form the basis of the student code. Violations of the code may be received from individuals, police reports or incidents referred through another department within the University. Determination of a violation is made only after a complete investigation of the complaint. A Student Conduct Conference or a Student Conduct Hearing may be held to determine if a violation of community standards occurred.
The Office of Student Accountability, Standards and Education works closely with the Residence Life Judicial System, Greek Life Judicial Board, Office of the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Affirmative Action Office, Athletics and Campus Police.
