Student Code of Conduct, Title IX Grievance Policy and Academic Grievance Policy
As explained in its Mission Statement, Finger Lakes Community College serves as a dynamic learning resource, empowering our students to succeed and fueling the cultural and economic vitality of the region.
The Student Code of Conduct, Title IX, Non-Discrimination and Sexual Harassment Response and Prevention Policy, and Academic Grievance Policies work together and are intended to foster and protect the free and open exchange of ideas. These policies and associated procedures apply to students and student organizations of Finger Lakes Community College. Students are subject to the policies during academic terms for which they are registered or enrolled, during breaks between terms, during College holidays and vacations, and during periods of suspension. The policies and procedures enumerate the rights and responsibilities of students, behaviors prohibited on and/or off campus, possible sanctions, and the procedures adopted by the college for addressing student conduct.
The policies and procedures embrace several important values: the rights of free speech and peaceable assembly; the freedom of inquiry and the right to make constructive criticism; the central importance of honesty to this community; and the desire that all students participate on campus in an environment that respects differences of culture, gender, religion, race, or ability.
Students who have questions about these policies and procedures should contact the Director of Community Standards and Counseling at 585.785.1211. The policies may be viewed on the Community Standards & Counseling website at
