NJIT seeks to create a community where rights and mutual responsibilities are both recognized and valued. The university promotes the intellectual and personal development of its student population within an environment of freedom of inquiry. In order to preserve this climate of academic freedom, students are expected and required to adhere to high standards of moral, ethical and professional behavior. These expectations are outlined in the Code of Student Conduct. The Code of Student Conduct describes both expected and prohibited types of behavior, procedures for adjudicating offenses committed by students and the sanctions which can be imposed for such violations.
The Community Standards area of the Office of the Dean of Students receives reports of alleged violations and facilitates a fair and engaging student conduct process in order to reach an equitable resolution.
