The Division of Student Life is committed to providing an environment in which each student can develop a richer and more mature personality, learn to relate well to others in many different settings, and thus, become a more stable and integrated person. The Office of Community Standards supports, encourages, and enhances the development of such an environment.
Important in the development of a healthy environment is an understanding of "community." A community is a place where people live in harmony based upon personal responsibility and respect for one another. To maintain the existence of the Saint Joseph’s University community, guidelines and policies were formulated. These guidelines and policies are listed in the Student Handbook.
The Office of Community Standards, in conjunction with the Office of Residence Life, promote personal attitudes and behavior that are in concert with the values rooted in the Christian, Catholic tradition. Students are expected to respect the rights of all members of the University community. Students are expected to share in the responsibility of sustaining an educational environment by becoming familiar with the policies and procedures outlined in the Student Handbook and by taking responsibility for their actions.
Any member of the University community may file a complaint against a student(s) or student organization alleging violation of the Community Standards. A complaint shall be submitted as soon as possible after the event takes place, preferably within one week; however, the timeliness of a complaint shall be determined by the Vice President for Student Life based on the fact and circumstances presented. For more information, please consult the Community Standards section of the SJU Student Handbook.
