The System of Responsibility
We have principles of conduct at Scripps called the System of Responsibility. It assumes that each student will be a responsible member of the community in academic and social matters. Since we live together as a college we should respect the rights of others. Therefore, each student should understand the principles of conduct, called the Code of Conduct, and is expected to uphold them.
Since the System of Responsibility is based on the implicit trust that each individual will uphold these principles, we believe that deceit is detrimental to the strength of the community. If a student is negligent in fulfilling her obligations to the community, the Judiciary Board has been empowered by the community to consider the problem and find the best possible means of solving it.
The Code of Conduct
Please refer to the Guide to Student Life, online at: http://inside.scrippscollege.edu/students/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/files/2015-Guide-to-Student-Life.compressed.pdf for the entire Code of Conduct.
Academic Regulations
Please refer to the Guide to Student Life for additional regulations.
Class Attendance: Regulations regarding class attendance are the faculty’s responsibility. Neither instructors nor administrators should be asked to give permission to miss a class. A student who misses a class should advise the instructor of her reasons.
Vacation periods are arranged so as to provide ample time for distant travel. All students are expected to attend class immediately before and after vacation periods. In case of emergency absences, notify the R.A. Your R.A. will notify the Dean of Students, who will inform the appropriate faculty members.
Examinations: Scripps students have the special privilege of taking examinations without faculty members or proctors present. All examinations should be written in the classrooms or at a place designated by the instructor.
Academic Dishonesty: Refer to “Procedures of Pursuing Questions of Academic Dishonesty ,” Section 4.4 of the Faculty Handbook.
Academic Probation/Dismissal: The Committee on Academic Review will monitor the academic progress of all Scripps students. At the end of each semester, the committee will discuss any student whose semester or cumulative grade point average falls below 6.0(C) or who, in the judgment of the Committee, jeopardizes her progress toward the degree. For additional information, refer to the Catalog.
Student Records: Students who are applying to graduate schools, to scholarship foundations, or for employment outside the College are requested to notify the Registrar, or the appropriate personnel at the College, in writing, if they wish to have confidential material released, i.e., transcripts, grade point average, character ratings. Student records are accessible only to the proper administration and faculty unless this request is made by the student.
Procedure for Handling Violations: Please refer to the Guide to Student Life for procedures (see section on Academic Policies and Hearing Procedures listed in the Index).
