Rules of Conduct
Prescott College expects all members of its community to act reasonably, maturely, and appropriately at all times, both on and off campus. Prescott College claims off-campus jurisdiction when enforcing its disciplinary policy. Students may be accountable to both civil authorities and the College for acts that violate the law, or rules and policies outlined in the handbook. Disciplinary action at the College will normally proceed during the pending period of criminal proceedings and will not be subject to challenge on grounds that criminal charges involving the same incident have been dismissed or reduced.
