2.3.5.1 - University Authority in Cases Occurring off Campus

The Code of Student Conduct applies to behaviors that take place on the campus, at University-sponsored events and may also apply off-campus when the Dean of Students or designee determines that the off-campus conduct affects a substantial University interest. A substantial University interest is defined to include:

  • Any situation where it appears that the student's conduct may present a danger or threat to health or safety of themselves or others; and/or
  • Any situation that significantly impinges upon the rights, property or achievements of self or others or significantly breaches the peace and/or causes social disorder; and/or
  • Any situation that is detrimental to the educational mission and/or interests of the University/College; 

Additional information regarding Xavier's expectations for student's off-campus behavior is found in Section 2.3.5 ("Standards for Off-Campus Living").
