Understanding your accountability for Off-Campus Behavior 

To maintain safe, equitable and successful learning environments in the varied and far-reaching places that OSU students gain, contribute and apply knowledge, the Code of Student Conduct calls for accountability where ever you are.

The Code applies to behaviors that take place on University property or in online, extended or distance learning environments, including in social media, applications, or other electronic communications; at University-associated events; and off campus when the Director of Student Conduct and Community Standards or designee determines that the off-campus conduct affects a substantial University interest. A substantial interest could include but is not limited to harm or threats of harm to health or safety, behavior that causes significant community disruption, or behavior that is detrimental to the educational mission or interests of the institution. Oregon State University does not regularly search for this information but may take action if and when such information is brought to the attention of the University.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Code applies to students living on and off-campus, so be responsible wherever you live.

STUDENT ACCOUNTABILITY PROCESS: 

Accountability means helping you be the best neighbor and member of the OSU community. As an OSU Beaver, you are expected to uphold OSU’s core values of social responsibility, respect, and integrity. It is important to keep in mind that any violations of the Code will be referred to the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards.
