SECTION I. GUIDING PRINCIPLES

As members of the College community, students have responsibilities and duties commensurate with their rights and privileges.  In this policy, The Art Institute of Houston provides guidance to students regarding those standards of student conduct and behavior that it considers essential to its educational mission.  This policy also provides guidance regarding the types of conduct that infringe upon the fulfillment of the Institute's mission.

SECTION III. REACH

At the discretion of the Chief Conduct Officer (Dean or Director of Student Affairs, Director of Student Services, Dean of Academic Affairs or a delegate as appointed by the President of The Art Institute of Houston),  the Policy also shall apply to off-campus student conduct when the conduct, as alleged, adversely affects a substantial college interest and potentially violates a campus policy.
