The RPI Student Conduct System is educational in its approach and designed to promote personal growth, accountability, responsible decision-making, and ethical behavior. It encourages students to reflect on their actions, understand their impact on the community, and learn from their experiences. It explains how alleged violations are reported, investigated, and resolved, often including hearing processes and potential sanctions (e.g., warning, probation, suspension, expulsion).Jurisdiction is, by definition, the right, authority, and power to hear and adjudicate the controversy that people seek to bring before a hearing officer or board.

The Student Conduct Code applies to all students and organizations. Students and organizations may be held accountable for the misconduct of their guests.
