THE STUDENT CODE

Values

The community of Northern New Mexico College is committed to fostering a campus environment that is conducive to academic inquiry and is focused on the holistic development of the person. The Code of Student Conduct is administered by the Division of Student Affairs. Student Affairs is committed to an educational and developmental process that balances the interests and needs of individual students with the interests and needs other members of the larger college community.

Our community exists on the basis of shared values and principles which include:

Honesty and Integrity
Equity, Diversity and Social Justice
Respect for the unique dignity of each person and the greater community
Responsibility to one another, our community and society

At Northern, student members of the community are expected to foster these values. Consistent with our academic mission, each member of the college community bears personal responsibility for their conduct, and assumes reasonable responsibility for the behavior of others.
