The Office of Student Conduct (OSC) administers the Statement of Student Rights and Code of Student Conduct, which outlines the rights and responsibilities of the student body at Southeast.

The OSC collaborates with a number of offices within the Division of Enrollment Management and Student Success as well as the Department of Public Safety, the Department of Athletics, academic departments, and other campus units to support students in their educational efforts.  

Along with adjudicating student cases, the OSC provides information related to student conduct and campus civility to students, student groups, athletic teams, and faculty/staff through various outreach efforts. Also, the OSC offers students the opportunity to mediate certain student conflicts and incidents rather than adjudicating the case through the judicial process. 

Code of Student Conduct

Every student at Southeast Missouri State University is obligated, at all times, to assume responsibility for his or her actions, to respect constituted authority, to be truthful, and to respect the rights of others as well as respect private and public property. Students are expected to abide by the University’s Statement of Student Rights and Code of Student Conduct.

Title IX Compliance

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education. Southeast Missouri State University’s Dean of Students ensures the University adheres to Title IX policies.
