Student Conduct

Students at Lincoln Land Community College assume an obligation to conduct themselves in a manner compatible with the mission of the college as an educational institution. Student conduct at the college, or at any college-sponsored activity, shall be governed by federal, state and local statutes and board policy. Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the catalog and student rights and responsibilities. Any and all conduct which adversely affects a student's responsible membership in the college community shall result in the appropriate disciplinary action.

Complaints of intimidation against students on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex, gender, age, physical or mental disability, marital status, pregnancy, order of protection status, military status, unfavorable discharge from military service, political affiliation, sexual orientation or any other such status protected by the provisions of the Illinois Human Rights Act or other applicable laws should refer to Board Policy 1.7. 

The Student Code of Conduct has been established to maintain order on campus and to guarantee the broadest range of freedom for all who come to learn at the college. Each student is responsible for knowledge of and compliance with the Student Code of Conduct:

  1. Students shall exhibit integrity and honesty. They shall refrain from cheating, plagiarism, and other forms of academic dishonesty and shall be truthful in the information they provide to the College and their representation of College documents, records, or identification to others.
  2. Students shall abide by federal, state, and local statutes and LLCC Board policy.
  3. Students shall exhibit respect for themselves, others, and the property of others. They shall also respect the rights of others to hold and express differing viewpoints from their own. They shall contribute to an educational environment free of harassment, intimidation, and other behaviors that threaten the well-being of themselves or others.
  4. Students shall comply with the directions of College officials acting in the performance of their duties.
  5. Students shall maintain an environment free from illegal drugs and unauthorized alcohol.
