Transcription

It is the responsibility and the duty of every student to become acquainted with this student
Code of Conduct. Every student is presumed to have knowledge of the Student Code of Conduct
and to agree to abide by the Code as a condition of his or her enrollment. Ignorance of the Code
of Conduct and its provisions will not constitute a defense in any proceeding against a student.
Copies of the Code of Conduct will be provided to each incoming student and will be generally
available in the Offices of the Judicial Administrator, Public Safety, Dean of Students and Dean of
Enrollment Management.
This document superseded any previously published student code of conduct or judicial code. It is
intended for internal distribution and use within Central State University. A PDF version is available
on-line at www.Centralstate.edu.
ZERO TOLERANCE
Central State University maintains and strictly enforces a policy of zero tolerance with regards to
fighting, the use, possession and/or distribution of illicit drugs, and the possession of dangerous
weapons, firearms, and explosives. If a student is found guilty of using, possessing, selling
or distributing illegal drugs; initiating a fight, or using any object (weapon) with the intent to
cause harm, the minimum sanction will be suspension from the university for One (1) academic
semester, and where appropriate will be referred to local policing authorities for criminal
prosecution. Suspension from the University for a violation of the zero tolerance policy will result
in the cancellation of the accused student’s housing contract, loss of tuition and fees, grades
attempted, and denial of a housing contract in the future. If a student in found guilty of drug
distribution or the possession of dangerous weapons, firearms, or explosives, the maximum
sanction may result in expulsion from the University.

Message from the Dean of Students
Dear Students,
I welcome you to the historic Central State University. For
more than 120 years Central State University has provided
a world class education and a grand beginning to the
professional and academic careers of thousands of our
graduates. Central State is a student centered community that
is dedicated to the discovery and transmission of knowledge
and learning through scholarly research, teaching and service
learning.
In an attempt to educate students on the community
standards, norms and expectations we are distributing this
handbook to incoming students. The Student Handbook was
developed to be a resource for university matters including
institutional programs, services, regulations, customs and
traditions.
It is essential that you experience developmental growth both inside and outside the classroom.
To enable this, you must be able to function in a campus community that is safe, secure and
welcoming. Therefore, in the interest of maintaining order (in the University community) the rules
and regulations in the student code of conduct have been established by Central State to govern
student behavior.
We are extremely pleased that you have chosen Central State as your new home. Our faculty and
staff will work with and guide you every step of the way to ensure your success as a student.
However, remember that college is much more than going to class and studying. Take the time
to get involved on campus. Join a club or organization, take advantage of leadership institutes,
attend plays and concerts and make the effort to add one new friend each day. As a Central State
student you will experience an exciting new world of learning and social experiences. While the
student and the university are partners in student learning and development, it is up to you to
take advantage of all that is offered. We expect you to invest in your personal growth so you can
reach your greatest potential. Have a great year!
Change is Central

Brief History of Central State University
Central State University’s history begins with our parent institution, Wilberforce University, named
in honor of the great abolitionist William Wilberforce. Established at Tawawa Springs, Ohio, in
1856, it was affiliated with the African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church and is one of the
oldest Black-administered institutions of higher education in the nation.
In 1887, the Ohio General Assembly enacted legislation that created a Combined Normal and
Industrial Department at Wilberforce University. The objectives of this new state-sponsored
department were to provide teacher training and vocational education and to stabilize these
programs by assuring a financial base similar to that of other state-supported institution.
The statute establishing the Combined Normal and Industrial Department declared that the
institution was “open to all applicants of good and moral character,” thereby indicating no
limitations as to race, color, sex, or creed. It was clear, however, that the Department and its
successors were designed to serve the educational needs of African American students.
Although this department operated as part of Wilberforce University in most respects, a
separate board of trustees was appointed to govern the state-financed operations. In 1941,
the department expanded from a two- to a four-year program, and in 1947, it legally split from
Wilberforce, becoming the College of Education and Industrial Arts at Wilberforce. The name was
changed in 1951 to Central State College, and in 1965, the institution achieved university status.
Charles H. Wesley, who had been president of Wilberforce before the split in 1947, served as
Central State’s first president. His tenure lasted for almost two decades. Other presidents include:
•
Dr. Lewis A. Jackson, acting president during part of 1965
•
Dr. Harry E. Groves, 1965 to 1968
•
Dr. Herman R. Branson, 1968-1970
•
Dr. Lewis A. Jackson, 1970-1972
•
Dr. Lionel H. Newsom, 1972-1985
•
Dr. Arthur E. Thomas, 1985-1995
•
Dr. Herman B. Smith, interim president, 1995-1996
•
Dr. George Ayer, Executive Management Team, 1996-1997
•
John W. Garland, Esq., 1998-present

The University has grown steadily since its founding, though it suffered a serious setback in April
1974, when a tornado demolished almost 70 percent of Central State’s facilities. The twister did
not destroy the University’s will to survive, however. Students were back on campus less than two
weeks later, studying in makeshift classrooms, and a massive rebuilding effort began.
Under the administration of President John W. Garland, the University has renewed itself,
emerging as a stronger institution on all fronts, from academics to administrative affairs and fiscal
management, from student services and enrollment to campus facilities.
Much has changed at Central State University throughout its 150-year history. But one thing has
not: a continuing commitment to providing an excellent, affordable education to all qualified
persons.
MISSION
Central State University, as Ohio’s only public Historically Black University, academically prepares
students with diverse backgrounds and educational needs for leadership and service in an
increasingly complex and rapid changing world. As an open access institution, the University
fosters academic excellence through a strong liberal arts foundation and majors in selected
professional fields.
Central State University is dedicated to:
•
providing a nurturing and culturally enriched learning environment,
•
stimulating in students an intellectual curiosity and a continuous search for knowledge,
•
teaching students to think critically and communicate effectively, instilling in students an
aspiration for excellence through teaching, service, and scholarly research,
•
preparing students to address the challenges of a technologically-oriented world,
•
providing quality educational programs in scientific and technological fields,
•
offering programs with multicultural and global perspectives,
•
reaching out underserved populations, and collaborating with other educational
institutions, business organizations and government agencies to enrich learning
experience and educational opportunities for students.

University’s four core values of Honesty, Hard-work, Excellence and Caring.
Additionally, students are expected to demonstrate integrity, high moral standards and promote
good citizenship. Students must understand that they represent the university at all times and
must uphold the university’s Student Code of Conduct and will encourage my fellow Marauders to
do the same.

Character
Central State University holds as its central purpose the academic and social development of its
students. Personal integrity and character both inside and outside of the classroom are inherent
elements of Central State University. Members of the CSU community are expected to commit to
the highest standards of personal honesty and ethical behavior.
Community
Membership in the Central State University community includes being involved and responsible
members of not only the university community, but also the local Wilberforce-Xenia community
and the global community. All members of the CSU community are expected to be responsible
community members, to show appreciation for diversity and to represent the values of the CSU
community.
Citizenship
Members of the Central State University community contribute to the advancement of society,
both now and for future generations. Such a commitment to the public sphere can have many
expressions, such as voting, recycling, volunteering at soup kitchens, and cleaning up litter.
Central State University citizens must give more than they take. They are responsible
citizens both on and off-campus, foster community involvement, become engaged citizens acting
for the public good, respect university property and the property of others.
Civility
The Central State University community is an open forum involving the free exchange of ideas
and scholarly discourse. For free and open exchange to occur, members of the CSU community
are expected to embrace civility in communication at all times.
Commitment
Sincere and true commitment is practicing your beliefs and values. Once you have committed
yourself to becoming a community member at Central State University, you commit to hold
yourself and your fellow CSU community accountable for these values.

CENTRAL STATE TRADITIONS, CUSTOMS AND PRACTICES
The nature of a college or university is as much a matter of its culture – its traditions, ceremonies,
customs, and practices – as its organizational structures, policies, and practices (Kuh and
Associates, 1991). Central State University has a particularly rich culture. Through cultural
perspectives, such as ceremonies, traditions, customs, and practices, one may better understand
the uniqueness of the university. Below are certain cultural artifacts of Central State University.
More exist and others will be created as the University continues to evolve. Embellish these
cultural artifacts, but also get involved and participate in them.
Dress Code
The dress code is based on the theory that learning to use socially acceptable manners and
selecting attire appropriate to specific occasions and activities are critical factors in the total
educational process. Understanding and employing these behaviors not only improves the quality
of one’s life, but also contributes to optimum morale, as well as embellishes the overall campus
image. They also play a major role in instilling a sense of integrity and an appreciation for values
and ethics.
The continuous demonstration of appropriate manners and dress insures that Central State
University students meet the very minimum standards of quality achievement in the social,
physical, moral and educational aspects of their lives - essential areas of development necessary
for propelling students toward successful careers.
Students will be denied admission to various functions if their manner of dress is inappropriate. On
this premise students at Central State University are expected to dress neatly at all times.
The following are examples of appropriate dress for various occasions:
1. Classroom, Cafeteria, Student Union and University offices - neat, modest, casual or
dressy attire.
2. Formal programs in Charter Day, Honors Convocation, Coronation, Student Leadership
Activities - business or dress attire.
3. Interviews - business attire.
4. Social/Recreational activities, Residence hall lounges (during visitation hours) - modest,
casual or dress attire.
5. Balls, Galas, and Cabarets - formal, semi-formal and dress attire respectively.
Page 11
Students will be denied admission to various functions if their manner of dress
is inappropriate.
Examples of inappropriate dress and/or appearance include but are not limited to:
1. Do-rags, stocking caps, skullcaps and bandanas are prohibited at all times on the campus
of Central State University (except in the privacy of the student’s living quarters).
2. Head coverings and hoods for men in any building (unless for religious reasons).
3. Baseball caps for men and hoods for women in any building.
a. This policy item does not apply to headgear considered as a part of religious or
cultural dress.
4. Midriffs or halters, mesh, netted shirts, tube tops or cutoff tee shirts in classrooms,
cafeteria, Student Center, and offices;
5. Bare feet;
6. Short shorts;
7. Clothing with derogatory, offensive and/or lewd messages either in words or pictures;
All administrative, faculty and support staff members will be expected to monitor
student behavior applicable to this dress code and report any such disregard or
violations to the Dean of Students office.

Alma Mater: “OH CENTRAL DEAR”
The alma mater is the institution’s revered hymn. Through song, it conveys what is ideologically
special about Central State University. Given its importance, during the alma mater, students and
others are expected to stand and to be respectful by acting in civil and non-disruptive manners.
Men are expected to remove their hats during the alma mater.
Our Alma Mater
O Central dear, we sing of thee, Maker of Men who’re free,
We build in deeds by greater name, We spread thy lasting fame,
O Alma Mater, Hail to thee, Builder of Women to be,
We build for thee in heart and mind. We seek thy grace divine.
O speak to us and we shall hear, Thy voice so near, so clear.
And as we sail the future’s sea, Through the years we’ll sing of thee.
Chorus
O Central mine, we’ll sing of thee, Truth and right our song shall be.
Our Alma Mater guides us and it’s great,
For God, For Central, For State!
Words by Dr. Charles H. Wesley
Music by Annye R. Dawson ‘47

The University formally celebrates its founding during the Charter Day Convocation. Charter Day
Convocation, which is typically held in May, honors the founding of Central State University and the
people important to its beginnings.
Homecoming
Homecoming is celebrated at Central State University during the fall semester. A week-long series
of events, Homecoming culminates with a fierce intercollegiate football competition, usually
followed by a rousing concert. During this spirited event, alumni, students, faculty, staff, and
friends of the university gather together for the parade, reunions, tailgate parties, and other fun
activities.
Honors Day Convocation
Central State University recognizes the scholastic achievements of its students throughout the
academic year. One such time is the Honors Day Convocation, which is typically held during the

based on talent and certain qualifications as articulated in the Student Government Association
Constitution. She is presented formally to the University community in a coronation, which is
typically held during the week of Homecoming. Miss CSU responsibilities include assisting female
students academically, socially and culturally in an effort to prepare them for the challenges they
will face in a rapidly changing society.
Mr. Central State University (Mr. CSU) and Court Coronation
Each academic year, students elect Mr. Central State University (Mr. CSU) and attendants based on
talent and certain qualifications as articulated in the Student Government Association Constitution.
He is presented formally to the University community in a coronation, which is typically held during
the week of Homecoming. Mr. CSU is responsibilities include assisting male students academically,
socially and culturally in an effort to prepare them for the challenges they will face in a rapidly

University Colors
The colors of Central State University are maroon and gold. The color maroon connotes the
fierce, unbroken spirit of those Africans who escaped from slavery and established their own
communities, typically in remote, inhospitable areas throughout the Americas. These maroons,
as they were called, were at the forefront of the resistance to slavery. The color gold is the
universal color of wealth and prosperity. It signifies not only material wealth but also the wealth
of knowledge gained through higher education. Students are encouraged to wear these colors to
university intercollegiate activities, pep rallies, appropriate Homecoming activities and many other
informal events to demonstrate school pride and spirit.
Page 14
University Mascot
The “Marauder” is the official mascot of Central State University. According to legend, marauders
were African pirates who raided slave ships during the middle passage and freed fellow Africans
from a life of bondage in the Americas. They were men and women who knew that power was in
their hands to make a difference; and they did make a difference.
Page 15
STUDENT LIFE
The Importance of Student Involvement
The experts in the area of student affairs suggest that the typical undergraduate student – one
who attends the institution on a full-time basis, resides on-campus, and is between the ages
of 18-22 – spends approximately 15 hours per week in the classroom. Although the bulk of the
remaining 153 hours is typically spent on personal matters and with peers, Central State University
expects that students will devote a considerable amount of this time to academic pursuits. After
all, the purpose of institutions of higher education is the pursuit of knowledge and truth and the
development of critical, analytical, reflective, and other skills. The University also recognizes that
important student development takes place outside the classroom and laboratory settings. The
University seeks to provide an environment where there are rich opportunities for interpersonal,
social, cultural, and recreational activities. Inasmuch as Central State University will provide the
facilities, resources, programs, and activities for these learning and developmental opportunities
to occur, it is ultimately up to the student to take advantage of what is provided. The effectiveness
of student life can be measured by the outcomes accomplished during the 153 hours or so spent
outside of the classroom. The developmental growth of students is directly linked to the extent
to which students are engaged in quality co-curricular events. Students are encouraged to
become familiar with these clubs and organizations and are also encouraged to create their own
meaningful student life experiences.
What You Need to Know About Participating In Student Clubs & Organizations
Involvement in a student club or organization tends to enhance the collegiate experience.
Meaningful involvement in such out-of-class experiences is likely to provide opportunities for the
development of self-governance, leadership, decision-making, and planning skills. The following
is a listing of nearly all of the student clubs and organizations at the University. Guidelines are
described below for students wishing to establish a new student club or organization. (Students
may contact the Office of Student Activities for an up-to-date listing of student clubs and
organizations.) The Office of Student Leadership and Development in conjunction with the Student
Government Association and the Inter-Organization Council monitors the recognized student
organizational activities.
Student Activities
Central State University has many extra-curricular activities and leadership opportunities that
provide students with an out-of-class learning to enhance their college experience. Many activities
range from those of an academic nature to athletics.
Some campus activities include singing with the Grammy nominated CSU Choir, marching with the
Invincible Marching Marauders Band, dancing and cheering with the CSU Dancing Belles and the
Cheerleading team. Students may also participate in intramural sports, talent shows, film series,
poetry slams, quiz bowl competitions, comedy acts, group discussions, theatrical performances,
novelty acts and live concerts. Special traditional events like Welcome Week, Homecoming, Black
Page 16
History Month, Women’s History Month and Springfest highlights major campus activities and
programs which promote long lasting friendships and partnerships among students, faculty, staff,
and the community.
Contact the Coordinator of Student Activities at 937-376-6141.
Lionel H. Newsom Leadership Institute
The Lionel H. Newsom Leadership Institute, located in the Ward University Center on the first
floor, promotes leadership and community service to Central State University students. When
students enroll in the Institute they are participants in training and development, and they
perform community service through a variety of agencies and organizations. The Institute
maintains resources and technology designed to assist students in their growth as campus and
future leaders. Students gain opportunities to do research in leadership theories, attend lectures
conducted by civic leaders, interface with students leaders from other campuses and travel to
leadership seminars and conferences.
Contact the Coordinator of Student Leadership and Development at 937-376-6393.
The Student Government Association (SGA) represents the student body by serving as the liaison
between the students and the administration. The SGA, faculty and staff share the responsibility
of making decisions that affect campus life. The SGA has an executive and legislative board. The
Student Government Association seeks to maintain a spirit of cooperation in the activities of the
University and encourages student initiative through service. The Student Government Association
also oversees many student activities and serves as an advisory body in many areas of the
University.
The Student Government Association office is located in the Norman E. Ward, Sr. University Center.
Responsibilities of the Student Government Association and information concerning student
participation in the various phases of self-governance are detailed in the Student Handbook.

Starting a New Student Organization or Club
Consistent with the University’s view that involvement in educationally and socially purposeful
out-of-class experiences enhance the collegiate experience, students are encouraged to establish
meaningful student clubs and organizations that are consonant with the goals and objectives of
the University. That said, requests to create a new student organization must include:
1. A formal letter of application stating the organization’s aims and purposes;
2. A copy of the proposed constitution and bylaws, which must describe qualifications for
membership;
3. A letter of support from the faculty and/or staff advisor; and
4. A list of proposed members (minimum of five) and officers.
The Dean of Students will appoint a New Student Organization Committee (NSOC), with the
Coordinator of Student Leadership and Development serving as chairperson. Consistent with
institutional practices related to appointments to university committees, the NSOC will be
comprised of faculty, staff, and students.
The NSOC will:
1. Receive requests through the Office of Student Programs and Organizations;
2. Determine if the organization meets established guidelines;
3. Make the appropriate recommendation to the Dean of Students with thirty (30) days of
receiving a complete application packet from the perspective student organizations; and
4. Upon the positive recommendation of the committee, the Dean of Students will grant
university recognition. New student organizations are required to abide by guidelines that
govern student clubs and organizations.
Page 19
National Pan-Hellenic
The Greek letter organizations are governed by the CSU National Pan-Hellenic Council. Both
governing bodies are overseen by the Director of the University Center and Student Development.
Students are encouraged to seek membership and actively participate in student organizations at
Central State. These student organizations enhance the campus community and provide students
with the opportunity to develop responsibility and leadership outside the classroom. Contact the
Coordinator of Greek Affairs 937-376-6567.
Greek Life Membership Standards
In order to receive university recognition as a recognized fraternity or sorority, each group must
register with the Office of Greek Affairs. The Office of Greek Affairs has a document that details
the information that is needed from all Greek organizations that intend to register with the
university. The forms require the following.
1. Each group must provide a roster of current officers, members, and advisors, with addresses,
e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers.
2. Each group must provide a calendar of proposed educational, community, social, and cultural
activities.
3. Each group must provide a copy of the organization’s current constitution and bylaws as well
as any current policies prescribed by its national organization, if applicable.
4. Fifty percent of the chapters’ membership must have a cumulative GPA of 2.50 per semester.
In cases where the cumulative GPA of the group falls below 2.50, the organization will be
placed on probation for one semester and may not participate in membership intake. If at
the end of the semester of probation the organization’s cumulative GPA has not reached
2.50, recognition, as a student organization will be withdrawn until such time as the group
cumulative average of 2.50 has been regained.
5. Each member of a social Greek-letter organization must attend and complete a risk
management seminar before membership intake activities are permitted.
6. The Dean of Students, with the approval of the university President, may prescribe additional
reasonable provisions for recognition of student organizations
Requirements for Membership in a Student Club or Organization
Students are free to reasonably join and associate with clubs and organizations of their choosing,
consistent with the membership requirements of such groups. The University, however, does not
condone nor expect student clubs and organizations to discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity,
religion, physical condition, national origin, sex, marital status, political affiliation, or cultural
lifestyle in the selection of its members, except in cases where sex or physical condition are bona
fide qualifications. Inasmuch as students may join and associate with groups of their choosing,
the University has developed certain requirements for membership. These requirements are not
intended to be unfair or heavy-handed; rather, the University is concerned with the personal
Page 20
learning and development of students and in assisting in making the experience in these groups
educationally and socially purposeful.
Thus, the University requires that in order to become a member of a student organization:
1. Each student must meet the academic requirements set forth by the respective
organization, department, college, or the University (2.00 GPA or higher);
2. Each student must be free of disciplinary sanction (e.g., social probation) at the time he or
she applies for membership;
3. Each student must be free of financial delinquency to the University;
4. Each student who seeks a position in the Student Government Association (SGA) must
meet the appropriate requirements as set forth in the SGA Constitution and Bylaws; and
5. Each new student, with the exception of transfer students, who seeks membership in
a social Greek-letter organization must have been in residence at the University for two
consecutive semesters and must have earned at least 30 credit hours. Transfer students
must be enrolled on a full-time basis with 30 credit hours, 12 of which must be from
Central State University. Furthermore, each student must have earned a minimum
institutional cumulative GPA of 2.50. Yet, if the national organization establishes a higher
GPA requirement, the higher must have been earned as a condition of membership.
6. Freshmen who seek membership in a non-freshman club or organization (reference Club/
Organization Constitution and Bylaws) must have been in residence at the University
for one semester and must have earned at least 12 credit hours. Freshmen who seek
membership in an ALL Freshman Club or Organization in their first semester of enrollment
are exempt from grade requirements;
7. A leadership position in a recognized, non-NPHC group, student club or organization
at Central State University includes all positions defined in the club or organization’s
constitution for executive board or officer positions. To be eligible to hold a leadership
position, a student must meet the requirements for membership in a student club or
organization. At the time of election or appointment and during term of office, the student
must be enrolled as a full-time student (12 credits per semester); must have/maintain a
cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher and must be free of social/disciplinary sanctions; and
8. Membership and leadership requirements are monitored by the Office of Student
Leadership and Development on a regular basis. Any exceptions to these requirements
must be requested in writing and reviewed and approved by the Dean of Students.
University-Sponsored Off Campus Trips
Off-campus trips that are sponsored by the University or are activities of University clubs and
organizations complement the educational experience. Students and the accompanying faculty
and/or staff are required to complete a Student Waiver for Educational & Cultural Trips, Travel
Release Form, one week prior to departing the University and secure the approval of the Dean of
Students or designee. The purpose of the waiver is to express that typically the student traveler
Page 21
assumes any and all liability for his/her personal safety and well-being. The waiver is available in
the Office of Student Leadership and Development and the Dean of Students Office. Universitysponsored or related trips require that a member of the faculty or staff accompany students.
Students must abide by all instructions provided by the University representative throughout the
duration of the trip. Traveling on University-sponsored or related trips includes the requirement
that students return with the group. One-way travel is not permitted, unless the Dean of Students
grants prior approval. More importantly, throughout the trip students are expected to
demonstrate civil, responsible, and ethical behavior and follow all University rules and
policies.
Policy Statement Regarding the Supervision of Student Activities
The Division of Student Affairs, through the Office of Student Activities, is primarily responsible for
the execution and supervision of student activities. In particular, the Office of Student Activities
assists students in establishing and maintaining student clubs and organizations and in planning
and evaluating events and activities. In order for a student club or organization to receive
institutional recognition, an on-campus advisor must be selected to help guide the organization
in meeting its goals and objectives. The Office of Student Activities houses the forms necessary
to establish and to annually register all student clubs and organizations. Given the value the
University places on involvement in student activities, Central State University will not tolerate
student-perpetuated traditions, customs, practices, or behavior that involve hazing of any kind,
that interfere with the academic and personal pursuits of students, that are anti-intellectual or
anti-social, or that compromise the institution’s or student’s well-being. To help stimulate positive
self-government, promote academic scholarship and positive interpersonal relationships, and
create optimal conditions for learning and development, the University expects advisors to:
1. Attend organizational meetings and events;
2. Keep student members abreast of their rights and responsibilities;
3. Mentor students and encourage scholastic achievement; and
4. Ensure that the organization operates in accord with university and other
applicable policies and procedures.
Student organizations or members affiliated with student organizations must adhere to the Code
of Student Conduct.
The University reserves the right to withdraw institutional recognition of student clubs and
organizations should such groups engage in practices or behaviors that work against the
educational mission of the institution, including hazing. Student clubs and organizations must also
be cognizant that the university itself does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color,
physical disability, national origin, sex, marital status, political affiliation, or age. The University has
high expectations that student clubs and organizations will align themselves with the institution in
adhering to this policy.
Page 22
Campus Party (Dance) Policy
No student will be allowed to pay Cash management without first clearing the
following criteria through Student Affairs staffing:
1. Every student must present a University I.D.
2. If the technology is available, every student must swipe their I.D. at the door as a means
of verification of attendance.
3. All guests must show a current University I.D. (i.e., University of Dayton, Wright State
University, Wilberforce University, etc.)
4. Non - University attendees must be accompanied by a Central State University student
and must have a valid state I.D or Driver’s License, which will be left at the door. Students
are responsible for the behavior of their quests. Each student may have a maximum of 2
guests.
5. Anyone without a CSU student host or without a proper I.D. will not be admitted.
6. Student Affairs staff will be identifiable and wear event specific clothing, i.e., yellow
jackets with “Event Staff” during winter months and yellow polo “Event Staff” shirts during
spring months.
7. Student Affairs will use two Night Monitors to work the inside of events to move and
organize ticket purchasers. During events night monitors will report to the Student Affairs
event team.
8. Student Affairs, Campus Police and Sponsoring Organizations will have special Pre-Event
planning meetings prior to every major event to assure that we have been proactive in our
event planning.
These directives have been instituted to ensure safety of the Central State University
campus community.
Policy Statement Regarding Guidelines for On-Campus Social Events
The University takes seriously its commitment to create a pleasant campus environment conducive
to the safety and well being of its students. To achieve this aim, the following guidelines for social
events must be followed.
1. The advisor of record or his/her designee must be present at the social event from start to
finish.
2. All Central State University students must show a valid student identification card at the
entry point to the social event in order to gain access to the event.
3. Non-CSU students must be invited guests of the organization sponsoring the event. It
is preferable that the sponsoring organization develops a guest list, which should be
available at the entry point to the event. Once it has been determined that the individual
Page 23
is indeed a guest, he or she must present a picture identification card and log his or her
name on a roster. The guest will be required to provide his or her driver’s license number.
(The log containing such information is to be treated confidentially, monitored by the
advisor, and delivered to the Office of Student Activities on the first business day following
the event.)
4. Prior to each social event, student clubs and/or organizations are responsible for arranging
for the appropriate presence of police officers through the Department of Public Safety.
This should be arranged at least two weeks before the event is held. The Department
of Public Safety will determine the appropriate number of officers, which is typically
calculated by the anticipated number of attendees; the costs for hiring such police
personnel will be incurred by the club or organization sponsoring the event.
5. All participants are required to pass through a metal detector, which will be monitored
by a law enforcement officer. Hand-held metal detectors may be used in lieu of a metal
detector portal. This provision will require each organization to hire an additional law
enforcement official.
6. Participants are not permitted to congregate outside or near the location of the social
event, unless there is an approved outdoor activity associated with the event.
7. With the exception of members of the Central State University community, individuals are
not permitted to congregate in any campus area after the social event.
8. In the event that disorderly behavior manifests itself during the social event, the event
will end immediately. The University will exercise “zero tolerance” for fighting and other
disorderly conduct during the event.
9. Campus organizations that do not adhere to any particular aspect of these guidelines
could lose campus recognition.
Public Performance by Students/Organizations
Any public performance or any activity presented by a student or group in the name of the
University should be approved by the faculty chairman of the department concerned or by the
adviser of the group before the performance or activity is presented.

Interfaith Campus Ministry
Campus Ministry at Central State University is a cooperative ecumenical ministry supported by a
consortium of denominations and local churches. We are opened to students, staff, faculty, and
administrators of all faith traditions and welcome those that are seeking to understand spirituality.
Inter Faith Campus Ministry is designed to support a variety of teaching, worshiping, and service
ministries for students, faculty, and staff at Central State University. Promoting acceptance
of diverse faiths, traditions and cultures, Interfaith provides a faith-based atmosphere where
people can explore and grow in their beliefs while developing an appreciation for the beliefs of
others. Interfaith believes that since learning and discovery is the paramount purpose for all
students, every entity on campus must be an active participant in the learning and discovery
that each student engages each day. It is in that spirit that we seek to inform students, faculty,
and administrators about all faith traditions and try to stimulate a dialogue where religious
engagement and tolerance can begin. We believe this is an essential aspect of the development
and engagement of young adult’s minds. Campus ministries have the unique opportunity to make
connections between churches, institutions of higher education, and community; helping young
people as they matriculate through college to be service and community minded while defining
their faith. This may be the most important contribution of campus ministry in our day. For more
information about Interfaith Campus Ministry, feel free to contact us at (937) 376-6566.

the responsibility of protecting life and property, preventing and detecting crime, enforcing parking
and traffic regulations, conducting fire safety and hazardous material inspections, and providing
essential security services to the campus community. Their efforts are coordinated with federal,
state, and local laws as well as University rules and regulations. Office of Public Safety is located
in Joseph D. Lewis Building. In case of an emergency, call 9-911. For non-emergencies, dial (937)
376-5111 (Dispatch) and request an officer.
ROTC
The ROTC program at Central State University was the first of its kind established at a Historically
Black University in the country. Rich in tradition and proud of its contributions to African American
history, the Military Science Department at CSU has been producing commissioned officers for
nearly a century.

Student Academic Success
The Student Academic Success Office, 937-376-6419
The Student Academic Success Program (SAS) is located in the Lower Level of the Hallie Q. Brown
Memorial Library and provides the following programs:
Academic Advising, 937-376-6110
Academic advising is an integral component of the educational process at CSU. Advising is a
shared responsibility of faculty advisors, the professional advisors and the student. SAS offers
individualized assistance to students in formulating solutions to problems they may encounter at
the University.
Early Alert System, 937-376-6110
Instead of using the traditional mid-term grade as the trigger for intervention, the university
incorporated a 5th week grade report. This approach facilitates much more effective intervention
for students at risk of failing and/or dropping out of college. We also report on mid-term grades
during the 10th week.
Early Start Summer Bridge Program, 937-376-6419
The Summer Bridge Program is an initiative designed to help the first year college student develop
or improve the skills that are necessary for a smooth transition from high school to college. The
six week residential program is required for those students who are accepted “conditionally”
and engages the students in enrichment and college courses. The Office of Student Academic
Success will closely monitor the progress of students and support them in their efforts to achieve
successful completion of their first year of matriculation at Central State University.
First Year Seminar, 937-376-6419
FYS 1101 is a one credit hour course that is required for first-year students and transfer students
with less than 28 credit hours. The primary goal of this course is to help first-year students make
a successful transition to the University. FYS 1102 is required for all first-year students placed on
probation during their first semester.
Learning Communities, 937-376-6110
Participants in the program will take some of their courses together while working for their own
success and the success of the group. Faculty teaching the courses in the Learning Communities
will collaborate and coordinate learning, thus making connections between courses and
assignments. Students also have the opportunity to increase their sense of community by working
together on group projects and community service. The goal of the CSU Learning Communities
Program is to establish a sense of cohesiveness, self-responsibility, and high standards among its
participating students.
Page 35
Student Support Services, 937-376-6182
The office of TRIO/Student Support Services provides eligible* students an additional layer of
support as they matriculate toward graduation. This support may be in the form of opportunities
to affiliate with other achievement-oriented individuals, to develop or hone leadership skills, or
engage in fun-filled, informative activities. SSS participants may also qualify for a one-time grant
aid to reduce their college loan indebtedness.
*To be eligible students must meet at least one of the following criteria:
•
Be a first generation college student (parents don’t have a bachelor’s degree)
•
Meet income criteria (see a staff member for more details)
•
Have a disability that impedes the student’s academic success
Tutorial Program, 937-376-6110
Monday –Thursday: 9:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Friday: 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Tutoring is offered in courses that CSU students have traditionally found difficult. It is free and
open to all students enrolled at CSU.
Students Health Services/Student Health Insurance
We provide quality health care services for the illness, injury, and wellness needs of Central State
University students. Student Health services is located on the west side of the campus in the
Lackey-Lee building, attached to the Louis Stokes Building. The Clinic is staffed by a full-time
physician, a full-time nurse practitioner, and medical support staff, who deliver excellent quality
care. If you are a full time student or have purchased the CSU Health Care Plan, you can be
seen by us to take care of your acute needs. Health education and limited health screenings are
also available. Please read the Student Health Service Insurance information for more in-depth
information on the healthcare provided at Student Health Services.
The Student Health Insurance plan is mandatory for all full-time students, taking 12 or more credit
hours. Part-time students (with less than 12 credit hours) may purchase the health insurance plan.
This coverage is to provide convenient medical treatment here on the Campus.
The Health Care Plan will also pay for a percentage of referrals made to local providers in the area,
including needed ER visits. As is routine with group insurance coverage, the student must assume
the responsibility for payment of any remaining balance.
You must be seen at the clinic first to determine if a referral is needed, including ER
visits, (when possible). Unauthorized visits are reviewed by the Medical Director, and those
found to be unjustified are the student’s responsibility. Charges for an unauthorized visit may (1)
not be honored by the Student Medical Plan; (2) be charged to the student; or (3) be charged
to the parent, if student is under 18 years of age. If there is a true emergency and the Student
Health Center is closed, at least partial payments of Emergency visits will be considered. For
Page 36
emergency medical situations during the clinic’s non-operating hours, the ambulance should be
dispatched through Greene County Central Communication 911 system.
Prior to admission to the University, health plan enrollees are required to present proof and results
of a physical examination documented on our pre-admission form, signed by a licensed physician.
You can obtain the pre-admission forms on line at this web site. Any chronic or preexisting
diseases need to be handled by your Primary Care Provider. The Student Health Clinic on campus
has been set up to cover acute problems, and to deliver health education.
It is very important that you pick up a Central State University Student Health Plan booklet at the
SHC. Please read and keep this booklet. The booklet provides information on what services are
and are not covered. Examples of provided services include: PAP smears, sexually transmitted
disease screening, pregnancy testing, birth control, acute illnesses and injuries, rashes, asthma
flair-ups, education, and delivering health advice. Examples of services not provided include
monitoring of high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma maintenance medications, and physicals
(other than University required). If you have any questions about Health Care Coverage, you can
call us at 937-376-6134.

CENTRAL STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF RESIDENCE LIFE
Residential Life Policies and Student Responsibilities
As members of a residential community, students are expected to respect the rights of others
within that residential community. Residents are free to make decisions and impact their residential
environment through involvement in educational and programming efforts. However, with that
freedom comes responsibility. Residents will be held accountable for their actions and decisions
as well as for the actions of their guests. In striving to provide an environment for all residents to
study, sleep, and interact, it is expected that students be familiar with and abide by the policies
Mentioned in this publication as well as these listed below. The policies in the Residence Life
Living and Learning Guide are found on the CSU website.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
Alcohol Policy
The University adheres to and enforces all federal and state legislation governing alcohol.
Alcoholic beverages may NOT be possessed, served or consumed, even by those 21 years of
age or older, in student rooms or in any area of the residence halls. Alcohol is not permitted
in common areas, including but not limited to, hallways, lounges, recreation areas, or outside
a student’s room, in cars, parking lots or any other University owned or controlled buildings.
Containers including, but not limited to, beer bottles, wine bottles and kegs of any kind are not
permitted.
Alcohol may not be sold or purchased in residence halls.
Each resident living in University housing is responsible for informing his/her guests of these
regulations and ensuring that the guests are in compliance with University policy on alcoholic
beverages. The resident may be subject to disciplinary actions for guests’ non-compliance with
these regulations. Non-student guests may be subject to civil and criminal actions for violation of
these regulations.
No beer or alcohol bottle collection is to be maintained or displayed in a room, even if
occupants are 21 years of age or older.
Breaking and Entering: The entering, or attempt to enter, any room, building, motor vehicle, or
other form of property without proper authorization or consent is prohibited.
Page 38
Complicity: Students associated with, or present during, the commission of an act(s) by another
which constitutes a violation of University policy may also be charged if the student behavior
constitutes permission, contributes to, or condones the violation.
Drug/Drug Paraphernalia
The use and/or possession and/or provision of a place for the use of illegal/controlled drugs is
governed by local, state, and federal laws. All cases of use, possession, cultivation or sale of drugs
or evidence of use in University residence halls will be handled by appropriate law enforcement
agencies and reported to the Office of Judicial Affairs. This also includes paraphernalia for illegal
drug use.
Failure to Comply
All students and guests are expected to comply with the directives or reasonable requests of
university officials acting in the performance of their duties. This requirement includes reasonable
requests for students to meet appointments in administrative offices, and the completion of all
disciplinary sanctions by the stated deadline.
False Information
No one shall give false information to a University official or to a local, state, or national agency.
Guests/Hosts
A guest is defined as any person who is not a current assigned resident of the University
residence hall she/he is visiting. A host is a resident who has a guest. In order to maintain a living
environment that respects the privacy of the resident and for security reasons, hosts and guests
must adhere to the following specific procedures:
Guests are subject to the same rules, regulations, as their host and the host have the
responsibility for informing the guests of all rules, regulations and expectations in advance.
•
The host assumes responsibility for the behavior and activities of his/her guests.
•
Guests must leave the building when so instructed by a staff member.
•
During the course of their visit, guests are expected to behave in a way that positively
contributes to the residence community, showing respect and consideration for others and
for property.
•
Students living in residence halls who wish to have an overnight guest will consult their
roommate(s) in an effort to maintain positive community relations, then obtain permission
from the Residence Hall Coordinator at least four (4) days prior to the overnight stay.
•
There are no overnight accommodations in any University residence hall for guests of the
opposite gender.
Page 39
•
Children are not permitted to reside in the Residence Halls.
•
Children are not allowed in the Residence Halls without the written consent of the Director
of Residence Life. All children must be escorted and supervised at all times.
Pet Policy
Pets, or animals of any kind, are not permitted in University residence halls including student
rooms.
Quiet and Consideration for Others
The University strives to provide its residents with a living environment that is conducive to
learning. Residents and their guests are expected to respect the rights of others with regard to
quiet for studying, sleeping and individual lifestyle choices.
In each residence hall, a program of “quiet” hours is established by the Director, Residence Life.
During quiet hours, the noise level in the residence hall must be kept at a minimum. The program
of “quiet” hours will fulfill the following minimum requirements:
•
Sunday through Thursday: Quiet hours must begin no later than 8 p.m. and continue until
at least 10:00 a.m.
•
Friday and Saturday: Quiet hours must begin no later than 10 p.m. and continue until at
least 11:00 a.m.
•
Twenty four hour quiet hours are in effect at all times during final exam periods. These
quiet hours will begin 9 p.m. the last day of classes and continue until the residence halls
close at the end of the semester.
Courtesy hours, defined as hours of reasonable quiet, are to be maintained at all times. During
courtesy hours residents are expected to keep noise at a level which will not disturb neighboring
residents, including those living on other floors. Music, talking or other sounds are too loud if the
sound can be heard by neighbors, in the hallway, or outside the building. Residents are expected
to anticipate and respect the needs of other residents.
In the spirit of community consideration, stereo, stereo speakers must not be directed out the
window or used in hallways. Repeated disregard for the noise level in use of sound equipment
may result in the removal of the equipment from the student’s room for the remainder of the
semester or academic year.
Responsibility for Contraband Items
In the event that any items prohibited by University regulation or state or local laws are discovered
in University residences, for which ownership cannot be determined, each of the occupants of the
residence unit having knowledge of the presence of, or access to, the contraband are considered
to be in possession of the items for disciplinary reasons.
Page 40
Room Entry & Search
A. Policy and Intent
The University makes every effort to insure privacy in all residence halls. Nevertheless,
designated University officials have the right to enter students’ rooms for matters
pertaining to general health and safety; to perform reasonable custodial, maintenance and
repair service; to inspect for damages or cleanliness; and for suspected rule violation. In
addition, designated University officials may enter and search a student’s room if there is
a reason to believe that the premises are being used for an illegal purpose or a purpose
which violates health or safety regulations or interferes with normal University operations.
Evidence of such unauthorized use of University premises may be confiscated and used in
disciplinary proceedings.
The following policy is intended to define procedures for room entry and room searches
that preserve as much possible the integrity of students and their right to privacy. It
should be clearly understood that the guidelines for search and entry at the University are
intended for internal protection and control. However, nothing herein can limit the ability
of law enforcement or judicial agencies to seek and obtain legal search warrants to enter
and search rooms or university campus.
B. Definitions
1. “Room Entry” means entrance into a student’s room to fulfill the duties of authorized
personnel or to inspect the conditions within the room for health and safety reasons.
2. “Room Search” means a formal seeking of evidence to reflect reasonable cause to
believe that health and safety regulations or the Code of Student Conduct has been
violated.
C. Conditions for Room Entry
Rooms can be entered only with reasonable cause to believe that one of the conditions
for entry is satisfied. The occupants will be notified of the reason for any room entry. The
following are guidelines for room entry:
1. A clear indication that established conduct standards, health, and/or safety
regulations are being violated. This requires the utmost care and sensitivity to the
issue of maintaining privacy for students in the residence hall setting.
2. Health officials and members of residence hall staff conduct periodic health and safety
inspections. The spirit of these inspections is for preventive and corrective action and
is in no way designed to include room search.
Page 41
3. A student’s room may be entered to affect maintenance and general repair or
servicing of telecommunication lines and equipment within the student’s living area.
4. A student’s room may be entered in cases of imminent danger to health or safety.
5. When fire drills are in progress, the residence hall staff, to fulfill their responsibilities,
must inspect rooms, to ensure that the hall is vacated.
D. Procedures for Room Entry
1. No student room should be entered without knocking and identification of self. Entry,
following the knock, shall be preceded by a time lapse of sufficient duration to provide
the occupant or occupants with an opportunity to open the door themselves. This
provision shall also apply to maintenance personnel.
2. Rooms should be entered in the absence of the occupant only when a maintenance or
repair emergency exists.
3. If deemed necessary for authorized University personnel or their agents to enter a
room when the occupant or occupants are not present, the student will be notified of
the entry and the reason for the entry. Every attempt will be made to give students
advance notice of improvements and repairs to the rooms. In emergency situations
when imminent danger to life, safety, health, or property is reasonably feared, entry
will be made without advance notice.
4. The privacy of the occupant or occupants with respect to other students should be
maintained when University personnel enter a student’s room. Other students or
individuals should not be permitted to enter the room in the absence of the occupant
or occupants.
5. Students feeling abused by the above policy may appeal directly to the Dean of
Students. The appeal should be in writing and presented to the Dean of Students
within ten days of the actual occurrence.
6. The following personnel shall be authorized to enter residence hall student rooms
under the conditions prescribed:
a. Full-time professional members of the residence hall staff, excluding clerical
personnel and resident assistants.
b. Resident Director.
c. Full-time members of the maintenance staff of the Physical Plant Services.
d. Non-University personnel contracted to perform maintenance or repair services on
behalf of residence life or Physical Plant Services.
e. In the absence of the Resident Director, a Resident Assistant with a CSU police
officer may act in cases of immediate and clear emergency regarding health and
safety. Other cases should be referred to the Director of Residence Life.
f. Residence hall staff and CSU police officer cannot enter student’s room without
“reasonable cause”.
Page 42
E. Conditions for Room Search
Rooms will be searched only with reasonable cause and the occupant or occupants will be
informed of the reason of any room search. A formal search permit will be required
from the Dean of Students or his/her designee. There are two basic situations which
precipitate administrative room search:
1. A clear indication that the established Student Code of Conduct or health and safety
regulations are being violated.
2. An emergency that makes it necessary for a staff member to search a room for
particular item, such as a discarded sleeping pill bottle or a particular telephone
number or address. In an emergency situation, word-of-mouth approval will suffice
and a formal search permit will not be necessary.
F. Procedures for Room Search
1. For internal operations not anticipating civil or criminal prosecution, the individual(s)
or agency concerned must secure a search permit from the Dean of Student. In
cases of possible civil or criminal prosecution, it is the policy of the Police or Sheriff’s
Department to secure a legal search warrant in accordance with the Ohio Revised
Code requirements.
2. When it is necessary for authorized University personnel or their agents to search
a student’s room when the occupant or occupants are not present, one full-time
professional member of the residence hall staff must be present.
3. No student room shall be entered without knocking. Entry, following the knock, shall
be preceded by a time lapse to provide the occupant an opportunity to open the
doors themselves.
4. The student should be given the opportunity to open all drawers, luggage, etc., during
the room search, except in those cases where a weapon or drugs are involved.
5. In the absence of reasonable cause for such action, a general search or a search of a
member of rooms in a given area is prohibited.
6. Contraband seized during a room search will be turned over to the Central State
University Police Department. Central State Police Officers cannot conduct a room
search without a warrant issued by a judge. Incriminating items that are located in
plain view of a Central State Police Officer, who has a lawful right to be in the room
when the item is seen, may seize contraband or other evidence of a crime. Any
Central State Police officer who makes a lawful arrest inside a student residence room
may search the arrestee and the area in the arrestee’s immediate control.
Page 43
7. When the search is completed, the individual conducting the search must complete a
search inventory form, specifying the date, room searched, name of the occupants,
residence hall staff conducting the search, circumstances constituting “reasonable
cause”, and detailed explanation of materials seized and ownership. This form and
materials confiscated by the residence hall staff must be forwarded to the Office
of the Dean of Students. Material confiscated by Central State University Police
Department or local police or Sherriff’s Department must be noted on the form.
8. All materials confiscated by the residence hall staff, Central State University Police
or local police or Sherriff’s Departments must be marked, secured and held pending
university judicial action and/or criminal prosecution.
9. A student who believes this policy has been violated has the prerogative of appealing
directly to the Dean of Students. The appeal must be in written form and presented
within ten days of the actual occurrence.
Solicitation
The use of University property for sales, fund raising, donations, or any solicitation of funds except
authorized through the Director of Residence Life is prohibited.
Page 44
Student Code of Conduct
Students voluntarily enroll in the Central State University community, and in so doing, assume
obligations of performance and behavior reasonably agreed upon by that community for the
purpose of furthering its missions, objectives, processes, and functions. As a requirement
necessary for carrying out its mission, the Central State University community has the right
to promulgate and enforce appropriate rules, regulations, and policies and to take action
when violations occur. Students, along with the entire University community, are provided the
opportunity through the Student Government Association office or the Dean of Students office to
discuss and propose changes in the rules and regulations.
The administration of student discipline is a part of the total educational process that not only
protects the academic community but also assists the student in personal development. The
function of the discipline process is, to promote the student’s learning by examining how a present
pattern of conduct interferes with, and is thereby a detriment to, the educational process.
Page 45
It is impossible to write a Code of Conduct which takes into account every kind of behavior, Central
State University reserves the right to discipline, to suspend, to expel, or to dismiss any student or
to disband any organization who seriously threatens the well-being of individuals or the University.
It must be noted that these actions may also result from student conduct that occurs away from
the University’s premises.
All judicial and appeals procedures will be followed before action is taken, except in rare cases
when the possibility of imminent danger exists. In such rare cases, the University may
suspend a student or organizational chapter pending a hearing, before notifying the chairman of
the appropriate judicial body.
Should an accused student be academically dismissed or voluntarily withdraw from Central State
University before disciplinary proceedings have concluded, the matter may proceed to a hearing
and/or a disciplinary hold may be placed on the student’s account. The hold will not prevent an
accused student from registering, but would start the judicial process.
EACH STUDENT HAS THE OBLIGATION TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH SUCH RULES,
REGULATIONS, AND POLICIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES HE/SHE SHALL BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE FOR CONDUCT IN THOSE VIOLATIONS, EVEN IN THE ABSENCE OF
SUCH FAMILIARITY.
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
In developing responsible student conduct, disciplinary proceedings play a role substantially
secondary to example, counseling, guidance, and admonition. At the same time, educational
institutions have a duty and the corollary disciplinary powers to protect their educational purpose
through the setting of standards of scholarship and conduct for the students who attend them
and through the regulation of the use of institutional facilities. The Central State University has
an obligation to clarify those standards of behavior, which it considers essential to its educational
mission and its community life.
Central State University students are encouraged to maintain a high standard of personal integrity
and honesty at all times and to show respect for the rights of others. Consensus can probably
never be reached on precisely how these standards translate into individual behavior; therefore,
the University finds it necessary to establish certain specific codes with which all students must
comply. The Student Code of Conduct has been agreed upon by the Central State University
community in order to clarify the student behavior deemed necessary to maintain an atmosphere
promoting personal growth without endangering other individuals or the institution. A judicial
system, including the right of appeal, is established to protect the rights of each student and each
organization to a fair hearing in the event of an alleged code of conduct violation.

Code Violations Defined
Academic Dishonesty and Misconduct
It is necessary to ascertain with accuracy an individual’s strengths and weaknesses in order to
prepare a proper academic program for students and to evaluate their work. Thus the “high
standard of personal integrity” in the classroom means that an individual will not receive credit for
work which is not their own.
Academic Dishonesty
In the taking of examinations, any attempt to receive assistance from persons, papers, or printed
materials without the permission of the faculty member constitutes dishonesty.
Academic Misconduct
Academic dishonesty, is illustrated by, but not limited to, cases of cheating and plagiarism.
Plagiarism can take many forms, but in essence involves the presentation of some other person’s
work as if it were the work of the presenter. A faculty member has the authority to grant a failing
grade in cases of academic misconduct as well as to refer the case to the university judiciary
system, through the Dean of Students Office.
This definition applies not only to activities within the examination room, but also any attempt
to obtain beforehand copies of examination questions without the faculty member’s consent,
including attempts to obtain them from students taking the exam at an earlier time during the
year. In short, all such unauthorized procedures constitute dishonesty. A student who willingly
provides assistance not condoned by the University to another student is also in violation, whether
or not the student providing the assistance has completed the examination.
In preparing essays, reports, and other out-of-class projects, any use of the words or ideas of
someone else as though they were ones constitutes plagiarism. This definition applies to the use
of both printed and unprinted sources, including the work of other students or faculty. To avoid
plagiarism, all borrowed materials must be fully documented. Direct quotations, however small,
must be placed in quotation marks or indented beyond the regular margins, and their sources
must be clearly identified. Ideas or arguments not directly quoted but paraphrased must also be
documented; merely altering the wording does not make their substance a student’s own work.
Facts, formulas, and other types of information which are widely known and considered common
knowledge in a field do not always require documentation, but a student may not falsely claim
the independent derivation or observation of such materials, nor borrow without acknowledgment
someone else’s special arrangement or use of it.
Page 48
When in doubt the student should consult a member of the faculty. If acceptable methods of
documenting borrowed materials are not clear, the student is to consult beforehand with the
faculty member who will receive the finished work.
The use of an identical or nearly identical piece of work to fulfill requirements in more than one
course without the knowledge of the faculty members involved constitutes dishonesty. If a student
wishes to prepare a single piece of work for more than one course, the written permission of both
faculty members must be secured beforehand. If a student wishes to submit a revised version of
an earlier piece of work, written permission must be secured beforehand and the earlier version
must be submitted along with the final version. When in doubt, a student should check with the
faculty member.
A faculty member who suspects the student may have committed an act of academic
dishonesty shall:
A. So inform the student and the Office of the Provost and the Vice President for Academic
Affairs and the Dean of Students in writing that a violation has occurred.
B. If the Office of the Provost and the Vice President for Academic Affairs informs the faculty
member that this is a first violation, then the faculty member may be authorized to
determine whether an act of academic dishonesty occurred. Such a final determination
may be made only after the student has been given an opportunity for a personal meeting
with the faculty member and the Dean of Students to discuss the allegation and to
present relevant evidence. This meeting shall be conducted in a timely fashion.
C. Proceedings in first-time violations as resolved by faculty members are informal. The
Dean of Students will provide the accused student with a written notice of the scheduled
meeting at least three days in advance. The purpose of the meeting will be to review
and discuss the charge before a final decision is reached. The faculty member could rely
upon documentary evidence and written statements as long as the student is allowed to
respond to them in the meeting.
Students may also be allowed to bring relevant witnesses who are members of the Central State
University community; legal counsel will not be permitted to participate. The faculty member and
the Dean of Students who will hear the case shall determine whether the student is responsible
or not responsible for the act of academic dishonesty. The Dean of Students shall impose the
sanction in consultation with the faculty member and the chair of the department. Wherever it
indicates a violation of the code, the following sanctions may be imposed: failure on the given
assignment or a failing grade for the course. The student may appeal such action through the
Student Affairs appellate process.
Page 49
A second violation will be reviewed by Dean of Students or Judicial Council and may
subject the student to suspension or dismissal as determined during the hearing.
Decisions of the Dean of Students or Judicial Council are subject to appeal to the appellate
process.
Accessory Responsibility
All members of the University community have the responsibility for enforcing rules and reporting
violations. Helping, procuring, encouraging or cooperating with another person in the commission
of a violation constitutes a judicial offense. Any student who is present, or is aware of, when a
university policy is being violated, will be subject to the same disciplinary action as if he or she had
committed the violation. This policy applies to any offense occurring anywhere on campus or any
other University owned property.
Alcohol/Underage Drinking Policy
The State of Ohio Liquor Control law prohibits the purchase, possession, or consumption of
alcoholic beverages or beer by persons under the age of 21 years. Alcoholic beverages may not
be served or consumed at social events held in buildings on campus, or in residence halls.
Students who are required to be seen by medical personnel and/or transported to the hospital or
medical facility due to excessive alcohol consumption may be required to attend individual alcohol
counseling.
REGULATIONS
A. No signs or advertisements for events being held on or off campus mentioning alcoholic
beverages may be posted or used on campus property. All student organizations are
prohibited from promoting any event that promotes the use or sale of alcoholic beverages.
B. Empty alcoholic beverage containers (e.g. beer cans, kegs, and liquor and wine bottles)
are prohibited. This includes any empty beverage containers, cartons, box cartons etc.
which have been mutilated or changed into posters or wall hangings.
C. The consumption of beverages with alcoholic content and/or the possession of such
beverage on campus grounds or in University buildings are prohibited and penalties will
accompany violations.
D. Students are legally responsible to civil authorities for violations of the alcohol laws of the

that the safety or security of an individual is in jeopardy. This may include changes in class
schedules and/or housing assignments. Students may be required to sign a “No Contact Order” to
restrict any form of contact between the victim and alleged perpetrator.
A person who has been assaulted is encouraged to seek professional counseling. Information that
is disclosed to a professional counselor is confidential. The University and the Xenia community
offer a variety of support services. Appointments to see a counselor at Central State University are
made by contacting the Counseling Center. (Another resource in the Xenia area is SARNCO (Sexual
Assault Response Network of Central Ohio)
Judicial Process - Campus Police will investigate all reported sexual assaults. A student may or
may not decide to pursue charges. Students who decide to pursue charges may do so through the
University judicial process and/or the Xenia Police. The Chief of Central State University Police, or
his designee, and/or a Xenia Police Officer, as appropriate, will interview the victim. If this inquiry
results in an investigation and action is taken, the accused will be given the opportunity to respond
to the allegations. Persons with information relevant to the allegation may also be interviewed.
Upon completion of the investigation, if sufficient evidence indicates that a sexual assault may
have occurred, the matter will be referred to Judicial Council if the accused is a student at Central
State University. The same judicial procedures and practices specified in the Student Handbook will
be followed in cases of sexual assault. In addition, the victim may choose to be separated from the
alleged perpetrator by a screen during a judicial hearing. The Judicial Board Chair may also allow
breaks as needed by the accusing and accused students during the hearing. Upon completion of
the judicial proceeding, both the accuser and the accused will be informed of the decision resulting
from the hearing.
A person reporting a sexual assault may request to terminate the proceedings at any time by
notifying the Judicial Officer in writing. However, the University may continue the proceedings if
necessary for the well being of the University community.
Page 66
Members of the Judicial Board will receive training including basic information on sexual assault,
victim reaction to sexual assault, academic implications for victims, questions to ask in a hearing,
and ways to interact with both the accusing and accused student in a hearing. The training should
also include the impact of the judicial process on the accused student.
Reporting Information - Given that sexual assault is a felony, disclosure by a survivor of an
assault to any University official will be passed on to Campus Security and Xenia Police. A survivor
can make decisions about his/her level of involvement in an investigation and potential criminal or
campus judicial action.
For reporting purposes Central State University utilizes sex offense definitions from the National
Incident Based Reporting Systems edition of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program which are as
follows: Sex offenses - forcible: a) rape, b) sodomy, c) sexual assault with an object, d) forcibly
fondling; and sex offenses - non-forcible: a) incest, b) statutory rape.
Education and Training - Responsibility for educating the University community about sexual
assault and sexual violence will rest with the Dean of Students Office and the Director of Human
Resources. Through various areas of the campus, educational materials and programs will be
designed to assist members of the campus community in recognizing and preventing sexual
assault and sexual violence.
Pornography - Indecency
Public display of pornographic materials is prohibited at CSU, this includes displays of literature,
films, pictures, or other material which an average person applying contemporary community
standards would find, (1) taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest, (2) depicts or
describes sexual conduct in a patently offensive way, and (3) taken as a whole, lacks serious
literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
Smoking
All University buildings are smoke free. Smoking is not permitted in any area of the residence
rooms, recreational areas, mechanical rooms, building entrances, etc. Smoking is not permitted
immediately outside of buildings. The sale of tobacco in any form is prohibited,
Solicitation and Sales on Campus
1. Officially-recognized campus organization, including sport teams, with the written approval
of the Dean of Students or his/her delegated representative, may engage in moneymaking
projects for the benefit of worthwhile purposes of the organization and, upon application
to the proper building authorities, may have a sale area where designated. No harassment
is permitted.
Page 67
2. Moneymaking events sponsored by campus organizations and held off-campus must also
be approved to avoid conflicts. This enhances the opportunity for a successful project.
3. Sales by individuals for profit shall not be permitted within the residence halls.
4. Any moneymaking events must be in compliance with Federal, State and Local laws.
Telephone Misuse or Abuse
Any student who accepts collect calls or makes third party billed calls to a Central State University
number will be subject to judicial action for fraudulent expense of University funds. All charges
incurred will be assessed to the students account. Any student, who damages, alters or removes
any part of a telephone instrument or wiring will be subject to judicial action for telephone abuse,
and will be required to pay for damages incurred. No student shall make a telephone call to
harass, abuse, or annoy another person.
Theft, Attempted Theft, Possession of Stolen Property, Unauthorized Possession
Theft - to obtain or exert control over property or services of another without the owner’s consent.
Attempted Theft - any attempt to commit a theft.
Possession of Stolen Property
Possession of stolen property is the possession of any property obtained illegally.
Unauthorized possession or keeping of firearms of any description, including such weapons as
compressed air guns, pellets guns, illegal knives, or BB guns on University property whether whole
or parts including ammunition of any kind, whether live or blank rounds. Unauthorized possessions
or keeping of any dangerous chemicals or explosives devices of any description on University
property.
Because theft is also a violation of the law, a student or organization will be subject to action by
the authorities when appropriate. All thefts should be reported to the Chief of Police who forwards
the report to the Dean of Students Office. Most insurance companies require that a report of this
type be completed before they will honor an insurance claim. Knowingly possessing properties that
may be identified as being stolen from the university or from any other person is also considered a
violation of student code of conduct.
Ticket Scalping
Selling tickets to University functions or events for a price in excess of the price printed on the
ticket is prohibited.
Page 68
Violation of Local, State and/or Federal Laws
In keeping with Central State University’s commitment of educating our students to become
responsible community citizens, the college will address student misconduct, both on and off
campus.
Central State University may receive the name and type of offense students are arrested and/or
cited for from the police department, from other law enforcement jurisdictions, newspaper articles,
personal observations, or from other sources that indicate Central State University students’
involvement in an off-campus violation. This information will be reviewed and the college may
contact the student to further investigate and/or initiate formal University judicial charges as
deemed necessary.
Use of the University’s Name
The Name of Central State University may not be used in support of or against any issue
or advertisement by any student, group of students, or student organization without the
authorization of the General Counsel.
Campus Judicial System
Mission Statement
Central State University will develop, disseminate, interpret, review, and uphold campus policies.
The judicial program seeks to contribute to the education of individuals, as well as groups, to
help them see beyond themselves in relation to their community. Campus policies are intended to
protect the campus community from disruption and harm. The judicial program protects the rights
of students through an educational process.
Judicial Procedure
Cases are heard, (depending on the severity of the violation and the plea which the accused
enters), by the Residence Hall Director, Judicial Hearing Officer, Judicial Council or the Dean of
Students. Violations range in increasing severity from Level I to Level V violations. The less severe
violations may be heard administratively by Residence Life Staff whereas Judicial Council hears the
more serious violations.
Specifically, unless the accused elects to have his/her case heard by a Judicial Hearing Officer,
Level I and II violations and some Level III violations shall be heard by the Residence Hall Director
of the residence hall in which the student resides or where the violation occurred and if the
accused enters a plea of “responsible”. If a responsible plea is not entered, a Judicial Officer and/
or Judicial Council shall hear the case. Level III and Level IV violations shall be heard by a Judicial
Officer unless the hearing officer believes the case is severe enough to warrant suspension or
dismissal or if the Hearing Officer feels the case is better resolved at Judicial Council. The accused
student(s) may also elect to have a hearing by Judicial Council. The Judicial Council hears level
IV and V violations or cases in which the accused student(s) elects to have a hearing by Judicial
Page 69
Council or an Administrative Hearing with the Dean of Students. Repeated offenses may result in
a higher-level violation, for example: two level III violations, within one year, becomes a Level IV
violation.
Judicial Council
The Judicial Council shall derive its authority from the Central State University “Code of
Conduct”, with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
A. Membership - Three faculty members and four students, not members of any other
judicial body, shall be chosen in accordance with the provisions set forth. The term of
office for the Judicial Council shall be two years. In odd-numbered years, two faculty

disposition of the case. A representative of the staff may appear before the Council to
discuss the case and shall do so upon the request of the Council. The Dean of Students
and the Judicial Council shall have original jurisdiction to deal with the more severe
offenses set forth in the Student Handbook and with all offenses posing the potential of
suspension or dismissal. The Judicial Council shall determine the facts and prepare a
written judgment substantiating its decision in each case it hears. The Judicial Council
shall inform the accused and accuser of the appeal procedure. If the accused or the
accuser makes an appeal, penalties shall be suspended until the Appeals Council has
taken final action. Any appeal from a decision of the Judicial Council must be made in
writing, including supporting reasons, to the Appeals Council within the next 48 hours
after notification of the decision.

board are selected by and serve at the request of the Dean of Students.
Page 70
C. Functions - Members of the University community with the Student Affairs Office
shall file complaints concerning infractions of University regulations. At the election of an
accused student who desires to enter a plea of responsible, infractions specified (Level I
or II) in the Student Handbook may be heard by a residence hall director if the accused
resides in a residence hall, otherwise if the student does not so elect, such offenses,
along with other offenses specified in the Student Handbook, shall be heard by a judicial
hearing officer.
Residential hearing officers shall have no jurisdiction to hear cases involving suspension
or dismissal. A residence hall director or judicial hearing officer may waive jurisdiction of
a case if he/she determines that proceeding with the case would jeopardize constructive
counseling already in progress. Additionally, if the facts and circumstances warrant such
action, the residence hall director, or judicial hearing officer may refer the case to the
Judicial Council for decision. If a Residence Hall Director or a judicial hearing officer
hears the matter, he/she shall determine the facts and prepare a written judgment
substantiating his/her decision. Additionally, the accused and accuser shall be informed
of the appeal procedure. Either the accused or accuser may appeal the decision of the
residence hall director or the judicial hearing officer to the Dean of Students or Appeals
Council. Any penalty shall be suspended until the Appeals Council has taken final action.
Any appeal to the Dean of Students or Appeals Council must be made in writing, including
supporting reasons, within 48 hours after notification of the decision.

suspend a student temporarily pending decision of the judicial bodies.
H. Procedure for Review by the President; The President is the final authority for an
appeal. A student requesting the President to review a decision must do so in WRITING,
explaining the reason(s), within 48 hours after receiving notification of the decision by the
Appeals Council or the Dean of Students. At the President’s convenience, the appellant

of the Appeals Council or Dean of Students.
Suspension of Group
Suspension is the withdrawal of an organization’s recognition by the University for a stated period
of time when an organization is found to have violated the Student Code of Conduct. Suspension
shall result in complete suspension of the activities of the group during the stated period of time
and may also include conditions for removal of suspension.
Judicial Suspensions, Refunds and Grades
Students who are suspended or expelled from the University for Disciplinary Reasons shall not be
entitled to any refund of tuition or fees. Students, who are suspended, and/or expelled from the
University prior to examinations, will receive the grade of “W” for all classes attempted. Similarly,
students whose housing or boarding contracts are terminated for disciplinary reasons shall not be
eligible for refunds.
Procedures for Reinstatement Following Judicial Suspension
Students, who are suspended from the University for Judicial Code violations, must apply to the
Dean of Students in writing for reinstatement. Each written request for reinstatement must be
accompanied by an “Application for Reinstatement” The Application for Reinstatement may be
obtained by writing or calling the Dean of Student’s Office.
Please note that all conditions/sanctions associated with a judicial suspension, must be
successfully satisfied prior to reinstatement being granted. Suspended students will only be
considered for reinstatement after filing the Application for Reinstatement, submitted with all
supporting documents, i.e., medical clearance form/release, counseling/treatment certifications,
etc., as stipulated in the suspension/decision letter. Note: Sanctions must be completed (served)
Page 72
in their entirety, as ordered, affirmed, or modified on appeal. Generally, students who have been
suspended from the University will not be granted an early return to the University from their
judicial/disciplinary sanction.
Official Withdrawal from the University
Should an accused student be academically dismissed or leave the University voluntarily, before
pending disciplinary charges have been resolved, the Chief Judicial Officer may precede at his/her
discretion with the judicial process (case) in the absence of the student as outlined in the Code. An
accused student, who withdraws from the University with a case pending, will not be readmitted
or reinstated to the university, until such time as his or her case has been judicially processed
and resolved. The Chief Judicial Officer will place a disciplinary hold (academic flag) on the
student’s record and transcript, which will prevent selection of classes, registration, re-admittance,
reinstatement or transfer to another institution until the case has been adjudicated.
Expunging of Records: Level I and II offenses are expunged from the student’s record at the
time of graduation. Theft, assault, alcohol, drugs, disorderly conduct, etc. are major violation
and the student’s judicial file is kept for seven years. The Dean of Student reviews the file before
expunging. Judicial files on students who have not completed their degree, and are of a more
serious nature (felonies and/or expulsions) are kept indefinitely.
Distinguishing the Student Code of Provisions and Local, State, and Federal Laws
Members of Central State University and its visitors are subject to all University rules to all
University rules and regulations, including those contained in the Code of Student Conduct.
Additionally, students are also simultaneously subject to all local, state or federal laws. Any
conduct that involves violation of local, state, or federal law may result in University disciplinary
action as well as civil and/or criminal action. The Board of Trustees has delegated to the president
and to the president’s designated representatives the authority to seek the assistance of
appropriate law enforcement officers, in addition to the University’s Department of Public Safety to
enforce University regulations and state laws for the preservation of good order on the campus.
On January 1, 1974, the Ohio Campus Disruption Act, which was originally introduced as House
Bill 1219, became part of the Ohio Revised Code. House Bill 1219 contained sections that pertain
to “control of campus violence.” A Central State University student arrested for one or more crimes
of violence as listed under Ohio Revised Code Section 3345.23 (or an equivalent offense under
a municipal ordinance) will be afforded a hearing in accordance with the ordinance to determine
whether he or she will be suspended from the University. The law mandates that such a hearing is
take place within five days of arrest (continuances may be granted, which may not exceed a total
of 10 days) and is to be conducted by a referee appointed by the Ohio Board of Regents.
If the hearing produces a preponderance of the evidence indicating that the student did commit
the offense, the referee may suspend the student from the University or place the student on
disciplinary probation with restrictions. The period of suspension or probation is in effect until the
Page 73
student is acquitted or convicted in a court of law. If the student is convicted, he or she will be
dismissed from the University for not less than one calendar year, and may not attend any state of
Ohio College or university for that period.
Students so convicted may be remitted or admitted to any other Ohio tax-supported college or
university, at the discretion of the college or University’s board of trustees, but only after the lapse
of one calendar year following dismissal and only upon terms of strict disciplinary probation. If the
student is acquitted, he/she will be reinstated “In good Standing” by the university, and the record
of suspension or probation will be expunged. The initiation of the a 1219 proceeding against a
student does not prohibit the university from taking university disciplinary action against the same
student under the Code of Student Conduct for the same conduct that gave rise to the 1219
proceeding.

Hearing for Suspension of Arrested Student
A student arrested for an offense outlined in Ohio Revised Code 3345.23; will be given a hearing
within no more than five days after the person’s arrest to determine if they will be immediately
suspended from the institution. When the president is informed of this arrest, at this time he/she
will appoint a referee that will conduct the hearing procedures.
A referee will be an attorney that is able to practice law in Ohio, but is not an attorney for a
faculty or staff member, or employee and does not work for any college or university. The referee
can administer oaths, issue and enforce subpoenas, maintain the decorum of the proceedings;
separate witnesses during proceedings, and may bar non-essential individuals from the
proceedings except for news media.
A fair and impartial hearing will be conducted, without the formalities of a criminal process. The
individual whose suspension is being considered has the right to be represented by counsel.
During the hearing the person has the right to cross-examine witnesses, to testify, and to have
witnesses and evidence on their behalf. Any self-incriminating evidence presented at the hearing
will not be used in any criminal proceeds that may follow. If an individual does not show up for
their hearing, they will be automatically suspended from the institution.
At the conclusion of the hearing the referee may suspend the individual based on finding
credible evidence to do so, unless the college or university’s good order and discipline will be
compromised. If this is the case the referee may permit the individual to return to the institution
on strict disciplinary probation. A person suspended may be readmitted to the institution based on
the terms outlined in section 3345.23 of the Ohio Revised Code. Suspension is in effect until the
person is acquitted or convicted of the crime. If convicted, the person will be dismissed from the
college or university, if person is acquitted or judicial decisions did not result in a conviction then
they will be reinstated to the institution and their record will be expunged.
The decision of the referee may be appealed to the common pleas court in the county of the
college or university within twenty days after the decision. The court may uphold the decision or
permit the suspended person to return to the institution on strict disciplinary probation, and as
long as the good order and discipline of the college or university is not jeopardized.
Dismissal of Convicted Student
Per Ohio Revise Code 3345.23, a college or university that receives state funds supports the
conviction and dismissal of a student, faculty or staff member, or employee when an offense of
violence or an offense that is committed in the immediate vicinity of the college or university that
results in an emergency being declared. At the discretion of the board of trustees, a dismissed
student may be readmitted or admitted to any other state college or university receiving state
funds after one calendar year and on the terms of strict disciplinary probation upon return. The
contract, if any, of a faculty or staff member, or employee shall be terminated at the time of
dismissal. A faculty or staff member, or employee may be re-employed after one calendar year at
the discretion of the board of trustees.
Page 75
The president, or other administrative officials designated by the board of trustees must
immediately notify the individual of their dismissal in writing and sent by certified mail to the
address provided in university records. If an individual has already been suspended and not
permitted to return to the college or university, the dismissal period will start from the date of
suspension. The individual will not receive degrees or honors, institutional credit, financial aid, or
wages during the period of dismissal or suspension. The only way a student will not be dismissed
is if a final judicial decision results in an acquittal, or if the conviction is reversed on appeal. At
this time the individual will be reinstated and the college or university will expunge the individual’s
record.
Duty and Authority of College Administrators
Sections 3345.22 and 3345.23 of the Ohio Revised Code will be enforced at a college or university
regardless of any polices or procedures in place, but theses sections will not limit the duty or
authority of university governing bodies in taking appropriate disciplinary actions. These codes will
not modify or limit that duty or authority of the board of trustees or the president when making
decisions to summarily suspend a student as long the university follows specified suspension
procedures (i.e. timely notification, reasoning behind suspension, and provided a fair and impartial
hearing). An employee that is subject to this disciplinary action, but is in the classified civil service,
shall be disciplined according to the civil service requirements if the Ohio Revised code sections
conflict with the civil service requirements and procedures.

Expulsion constitutes the permanent separation of the student from the University, to which a
student is not eligible for readmission or reinstatement and is permanently barred from University
property and from all University sponsored or sanctioned events. In addition, students expelled
from the University may not attend another college or university within the University System. If
an expelled student returns to the campus, he/she may be charged with unlawful entry (trespass)

be completed by a specific date. Failure to complete a special assignment shall constitute a Level
IV violation.
Suspension: Suspension separates the student from Central State University for a specified
period of time. Credits earned at another school, while a student is under suspension, cannot be
applied towards graduation at Central State University. The student may apply to the Admission
Office for readmission when this penalty has expired. This penalty does not require the approval
for readmission by the council that assessed it unless it originated with the Academic Council.
Suspension or Dismissal: Students may not be on campus unless they have an appointment
with an official representative of the University. Advance arrangements must be made through

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT:
(FERPA) STUDENT NOTIFICATION RIGHTS
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) afford students certain rights with respect
to their educational records. These records include:
(1)The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45
days of the day the University receives a request for access;
Students should submit to the Registrar written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to
inspect. The Registrar will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and
place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the Registrar to
whom the request was submitted, then the Registrar shall advise the student of the correct official
to whom the request should be addressed.
(2)The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that
the student believes is inaccurate;
Students may ask the University to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate. They should
write the Registrar, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is
inaccurate.
If the University decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University will
notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding
the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be
provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
(3)The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information
contained in the student’s education record, except to the extent the
FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent;
One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is a disclosure to school officials with
legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the University in
an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law
enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University
has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agency); a person serving on the Board
of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance
committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.
A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education
record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
Upon request, the University discloses education records without consent to officials of another
school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.
Page 83
(4)The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education
concerning alleged failures by Central State University to comply with
the requirements of FERPA.
The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is:
Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20202-4605
Directory Information
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act designates certain information related to students
as “Directory Information” and gives the university the right to disclose such information to anyone
inquiring without having to ask students for permission, unless the students specifically request in
writing that all such information not be made public without their written consent.
Directory Information includes the following items: students’s name, address,
telephone listing, electronic mail address, major field of study, dates of
attendance, grade level, enrollment status (e.g., undergraduate or graduate;
full-time or part-time), participation in officially recognized activities and sports,
weight and height of members of athletic teams, degrees, honors and awards
received, and the most recent educational agency or institution attended.
If at anytime you wish to withhold the disclosure of all of the items listed as “Directory
Information”, please contact the Office of the Registrar at (937) 376-5231.
Placing a privacy restriction on your record will not allow the university to acknowledge your
enrollment to anyone who requests verification of enrollment. This would include deferring loan
repayments or inquiries from a prospective employer. The privacy flag will suppress information in
the Student Information System and will also suppress campus directory information and e-mail
accounts as well.
Parental Notification
If a student under the age of 21 is found to be responsible for the use and/or possession of drugs
or drug paraphernalia, the resultant sanction will include notification of the parent/guardian by
the Dean of Students. In the event of a first or second violation of the alcohol policy by a student,
the resultant sanction may include, but is not limited to, probation, developmental and alcohol
counseling, a fine and/or community service. In addition to the aforementioned sanctions, a third
Page 84
violation of the alcohol policy by a student under the age of 21 will result in the notification of the
parent/guardian by the Dean of Students. In addition, the parent/guardian may be contacted in
any instance in which the health or safety of the student has been threatened either through the
student’s own acts or the acts of others.
The Cleary Act: Reported Annually
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, codified
at 20 USC 1092 (f) as part of the Higher Education Act of 1965, is a federal law that requires
colleges and universities to disclose certain timely and annual information about campus crime
and security policies. All public and private institutions of postsecondary education participating
in federal student aid programs are subject to it. Central State University publishes a report every
year that contains three years of campus crime statistics, and certain security policy statements,
including policies which assure basic rights to victims of sexual assault, which state the law
enforcement authority of campus police, and which explain where students should go to report
crimes. Students should contact the Police and Safety for more information and a copy of the
report.
