Policies and Agreements Overview

Community Life Agreement & Student Code of Conduct

The Community Life Agreements and processes apply to interactions between students and members of the community at all physical site locations, within the virtual spaces, and in other learning environments as determined by Community Life. Members of the community include faculty, staff, and other guests of the College. These agreements are guided by Goddard College's Circle of Council Social Justice Statement.

Campus Disturbances

When a student’s conduct disrupts the academic, administrative, or student life activities of the college or college community in a manner that is verbally or physically threatening or intimidating or evidences a basic disrespect for the property and rights of others or causes intentional significant damage to or theft of college property, that student’s conduct shall warrant prompt disciplinary action described in the Student Handbooks. Campus crime statistics are reported at ope.ed.gov/campussafety. Campus Safety procedures are outlined in Goddard’s Emergency Response Handbook.

Drugs and Alcohol

Federal law requires that Goddard will make every effort to provide its students and employees with a drug-free workplace. All members of the Goddard College community are expected to live within federal and state laws in regard to alcohol and drugs while they are on the Goddard campus. Persons discovered to be in violation of those laws may be required to leave the campus. Residency schedules include times for meetings of 12-step programs. Please see the Student Handbook for a more detailed description of drug and alcohol policies.

Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault

Sexual harassment includes but is not limited to unwelcome or abusive verbal and physical behavior related to gender or sexual orientation. Sexual assault includes but is not limited to rape, attempted rape, and date rape. Students should bring violations of this policy forward to a Student Life staff member or any member of the College’s senior staff. Charges of this nature are thoroughly investigated and pursued by college staff and, if necessary, law enforcement. Please refer to the harassment policies set out in the Goddard College Student Sexual and Gender-Based Misconduct Policy and the college’s Student Handbook.
