Student code of conduct City College is a Christian college and holds to high moral standards for its student body. A high value is placed upon applicants who express interest in the work of revitalization, reconciliation, and transformational services and ministry in the urban community. Student Accounts
Every student is expected to pay his or her account on time. Meeting financial responsibilities on time is part of Christian maturity and stewardship.
Practicum Requirements
Full-time students (twelve or more credits) are required to complete one field ministry credit per semester. Part-time students with eight to eleven credits are required to complete a four-hour practicum each semester.
Attendance
Attendance in classes and chapel is highly encouraged. Students pay for education; missing classes causes students to lose out on valuable material and information that helps them in their exams.
Conduct
The standards imposed upon the City College community go far beyond those of a legal nature. As a sectarian private Christian college with a high view of Scripture and its teachings, City College also disapproves of homosexual behavior, viewing of or listening to pornographic and X-rated material, adultery, sex outside of marriage, co-habitation with the opposite sex, and other inappropriate sexual behavior as set forth in Scripture. Gambling is also an unaccepted behavior. These must be avoided in all walks of life whether on campus or elsewhere. Any instance of sexual misconduct should be reported to an official of City College.
The Christian standards embodied in this policy apply to both on and off campus and during the College term and when the College is not in session. Christian life is not a part-time endeavor. Therefore, the Christian standards set forth here apply to all members of the college community wherever they may be located and at all times of the year. Harassment/Offensive Behavior
Respect should be shown at all times to all members of the City College community. All commu nity members should pay particular attention to their speech. Slander, gossip, obscenity, vulgarity, and profanity are inappropriate. All City College community members must respect others' right to privacy.
Verbal or physical harassment of any member of the City College community is prohibited. Sexual harassment is defined as any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and any other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Such behavior is considered by the College to be serious misconduct. Sexual violence (including sexual abuse and rape) will not be tolerated within the College community. Appropriate disciplinary action, including suspension or dismissal will be taken against any person found to have violated this policy.
Weapons and explosive materials
The safety of our students, faculty, and staff is a high priority at City College. The possession of weapons (e.g., knives, arrows, martial arts weapons, and slingshots), guns (including stun and paintball guns), fireworks or other explosive materials, and ammunition is prohibited on the City College campus and in conjunction with College activities. Possession of any of these items in such settings may result in dismissal. Weapons are considered to be items whose primary function is to attack others. Items of a defensive nature, such as pepper spray, and items such as knives which are needed for work purposes are not prohibited items.
Tobacco, Alcohol, and Drug Free Policy
As a Christian institution of higher education, it is the objective of the College to maintain a tobacco, alcohol, and drug-free environment for both students and faculty. Accordingly, the possession of tobacco and alcohol or the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs by students or employees is prohibited on College property and in conjunction with College activities. Additionally, Students may not hold jobs where the primary purpose of the business is the distribution of tobacco or alcohol. Violation of these policies will result in disciplinary action and/or dismissal.
