Dear Students,
Each year at this time we provide you with (1) Annual Notifications, (2) Updated Institutional Policies, and (3) Reminders of Important Policies for your review and to stay informed. Thank you in advance for reviewing all sections carefully and understanding what is expected of you as a community member.
Annual Notifications:
First, the Annual Notification of the Student Code of Conduct and CAS College Policies. The purpose of the Code of Conduct at Lewis & Clark College is to establish clear expectations for behavior that fosters academic and communal integrity. We also encourage you to review the college’s Institutional Policies.
Second, our Annual Notification of Alcohol and Other Drug Information, compiled by the team in Health Promotions and Wellness. This notification is in line with our commitment to promoting the health and well-being of the entire college community. This notice contains information about alcohol and drug policy, treatment resources, health and legal consequences related to the use of various substances, and other related information to all community members.
Updated Institutional Policies:
Please take the time to review these policies in particular:
A special thanks to the students and staff who served on committees to review various policies this past year! Community feedback is vital in shaping how we want to see the Lewis & Clark community expectations grow and change to meet our community’s needs. If you are interested in serving on a committee to give feedback on policies or on our biannual Code of Conduct Review taking place this year, please email the Office of Community Accountability & Conflict Education (previously SRR) at cace@lclark.edu to be added to our feedback listserv.
Reminders:
For those of you who are living on campus, the Residential Handbook is an important resource.
And for ALL students: for bias, Title IX, policy violations, or student welfare within our community, please report a concern here.
As we begin the new academic year, we in the Division of Student Life hope that these notifications and reminders will assist you in being a more informed student in our academic community. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
