Information for Students
Policies and Procedures ("The Rules")
It's good to know ahead
of time how certain situations are going to be handled.
The more you know, the less likely you'll be caught off
guard. Be an informed IUP student by reviewing the
list of policies and procedures of the university.
Student Behavior
Regulations ("Code of Conduct")
The
primary function of the judicial system is to resolve
alleged policy violations by students that occur on
campus. The university reserves the right to
address
violations by students in off-campus locations when those
violations might adversely affect the university
community. The university maintains the right to amend its
rules and to make such amendments effective immediately
upon appropriate public notification of students. It is
the responsibility of each student to become familiar with
these regulations.
The Source:
Student Handbook
The Source is your one stop resource for all that you need
to know about the university.
Not only does it contain
information regarding IUP policies and procedures, but it
also offers helpful information about university services
and activities, and the Indiana community. In
addition, IUP's Civility Statement and our statement of
student rights and responsibilities provide the framework
for your role as an IUP citizen.
Student Rights
and Responsibilities
There's so much information out there to absorb; it
can be rather overwhelming. Relax. Check out
the list of
frequently asked questions for a quick introduction to
the judicial system. Also, familiarize yourself with
these important, yet commonly confused bits of
information.
We appreciate receiving feedback from you

Records and Record Keeping
The Office of Student Conduct will maintain student
disciplinary files, which contain all necessary and
appropriate judicial correspondence, hearing officer and
Judicial Board decisions, and other documentation
pertinent to any cases involving a student. Scandalous,
impertinent, and irrelevant material, or material deemed
unnecessary, may be discarded at any time. Judicial files
will be maintained as follows:
-
Judicial records will
be maintained for a period of seven years or three years
after the statistic is last published, whichever is
less.
-
The university
reserves the right to retain all disciplinary files for
longer periods as may be deemed necessary.
Note: In cases where
more than one sanction is applied, records will be kept
according to the length established for the most severe
sanction. The university will not release a
student's disciplinary records without the written consent
of the student. The only exceptions to this guideline are
those outlined in the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act of 1974. (See
IUP Student Records Policy.)
Filing a Personnel Complaint at the Indiana Borough Police
Department
IUP supports your right to be treated fairly in our
community so that you are able to focus on achieving
personal and academic success. This includes promoting an
off campus environment in which you feel safe and secure
and where you are treated fairly and ethically by local
authorities. IUP and the Indiana Borough police
department have developed a process by which you, as a
student, are able to voice your concerns and issues
directly to William Sutton, Indiana Borough Chief of
Police. Complaints are submitted to the Office of Student
Conduct, 307 Pratt Hall, and are forwarded to Chief
Sutton for his investigation and response.
Student
Recognition & Leadership Opportunities
There are many opportunities for a student to become
positively involved in IUP's judicial system including quality
practicum experiences, volunteering as a judicial board
member, or simply practicing civility in your everyday
life. Whatever you decide to do, you have the power
to make the university and the community a safe, fun,
educational environment. Also, the Office of Student
Conduct values your input concerning our services.
