Student Life

Student life at Cornell complements the academic program and contributes to the sense of community at the College. Students participate actively in the governance of the College, serving on committees, on the Student Senate, on the Performing Arts and Activities Council, and in various other leadership and involvement roles.

A student activity fee is assessed for all students and is administered by Student Senate. These funds are allocated to various student groups to facilitate their operations, activities, and events.

Cornell expects students to be capable of mature and responsible behavior. Within any community, certain responsibilities protect the safety and health of members of the community. ``Student Rights and Responsibilities'' and the College's judicial procedures outline the standards for the community and the rights and responsibilities of Cornell students.

Cornell College expects students to comply with civil laws as well as with College regulations. Student conduct that violates these laws and regulations may result in College disciplinary action. Since Cornell does not function as a sanctuary from law enforcement agencies, the College will cooperate fully with these agencies when they are investigating alleged criminal activities.

Each summer the College publishes the student handbook, the Compass, which contains information on college services, residence halls, student finances, college policies, campus organizations, activities, constitutions, academic guidelines, rights and responsibilities, and student judicial procedures. The Compassis provided for each student and may also be obtained from the Dean of Students' Office.
