Student Conduct
George Mason University's (the "University") Code of Student Conduct (the "CSC") is a regulatory policy governing non-academic student disciplinary matters within the University.
As a public institution of higher education, the University’s primary goals are the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, and the development of its students into productive citizens who contribute to the well-being of society. The purpose of the CSC is to foster a supportive climate of protecting the community from disruptive conduct while facilitating conduct that supports teaching and learning environments.
The CSC is written and generally enforced by the University's Fairfax Office of Student Conduct. However, we at Mason Korea have the discretion to handle referrals involving students studying at the Mason Korea campus.
Students are responsible for their conduct at all times, including conduct occurring during the academic year, between academic terms, during periods of non-enrollment, before classes begin and after classes end, and during periods of suspension. Students are responsible for misconduct regardless of whether misconduct occurred on the University’s premises or elsewhere.
The CSC applies to the University's students and student organizations. Each student and student organization is responsible at all times for knowing and complying with all provisions of the CSC, which is subject to change. Each student is implicitly also responsible for becoming aware of the University’s various policies, as a violation of the University’s policies qualifies as an act of misconduct under the CSC.
