On matriculation, students must acknowledge their obligations under these documents and the authority of the College to impose appropriate sanctions in the event of infractions, including suspension or expulsion. Students should refer to The Compass for detailed information and explanations concerning the honor code, the judicial system, residence life regulations, the alcohol policy and other College policies.
