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 governing boards or councils including
Student Senate, Residence Hall Association, Council on Social and Service Groups, and the Performing Arts and Activities Council.
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,'' found in The Compass, 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 updates 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 Compass is posted on-line, and all students, faculty, and staff are notified of its presence each fall by the Dean of Students.
