Otis Code of Conduct:

As members of the Otis College community, students are expected to behave responsibly at all times. The College expects and trusts its students to be honest in their studio, classroom, and community endeavors. This honor system is the basis for the College’s operations and activities.

The Code of Conduct has been established to explain what constitutes unacceptable behavior, the procedures regarding discipline, and the student’s responsibilities as a member of the Otis College community. All violations should be reported promptly to a member of the Student Conduct Committee, which is comprised of the Dean of Student Affairs, the Vice President of Academic Affairs, and the Vice President of Administration and Finance.

An interim suspension may be imposed by the Dean of Student Affairs or a designee pending disciplinary proceedings or medical evaluation, with such interim suspension to become immediately effective without prior notice whenever there is evidence that the continued presence of the student on the College campus poses a substantial threat to himself or herself or to others or to the stability and continuance of normal College functions.
