JURISDICTION:
The University reserves the right to take necessary and appropriate action to protect the safety and well-being of its campus community. The Code of Student Conduct (Code) applies to all undergraduate and graduate students. The University's jurisdiction and conduct processes shall be limited to behavior which occurs on University premises, at University-sponsored events, or at other off-campus locations if the conduct adversely affects the University community and/or the pursuit of its objectives as determined by university officials. Fayetteville State University's Code of Student Conduct can be found below.
FILING A REPORT:
If you believe there has been a violation of the Code, please fill outthe University Incident & Student Complaint Form. You may also contact campus police to report ongoing matters of alleged Code violations. However, if you need immediate assistance, or if you believe the conduct involved presents a danger of harm to self or others, you are strongly encouraged to contact campus police immediately at (910) 672-1911 (emergency) or (910) 672-1775 (non-emergency). Alleged Code violations involving violations of the law or court proceedings are separate processes and may occur at the same time and in addition to any student disciplinary proceedings occurring in the Office of Student Conduct.
