Community Standards Policies and Procedures

As a community, the University has developed a code of standards and expectations that are consistent with its purpose as an educational institution. The Community Standards Policy can be found at www.iup.edu/studentsupportandstards. The Office of Student Support and Community Standards supports the academic mission of the University by promoting the development of a campus community characterized by reasonable safety and security, responsible behavior, civility, and respect.

Through enforcement of University policies and regulations, the office challenges students to take responsibility for their action; demonstrate respect for themselves, property, and other individuals; and develop skills that will enhance lifelong problem solving, communication, and decision-making abilities. The Office of Student Support and Community Standards can be reached at 724-357-1254 or community-standards@iup.edu and is located in G37 Ruddock Hall.
