Office of Community Standards
The Office of Community Standards works with students, faculty, staff, and community members to address harm and promote a culture of care and mutual respect.
The Office of Community Standards
The Office of Community Standards supports a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning environment where all students can thrive academically, personally, and professionally. CCRI students bring diverse backgrounds, experiences, and life circumstances to campus. Our role is not only to uphold college policies and community expectations but also to foster student growth, accountability, and belonging.
The Office of Community Standards views misconduct as an opportunity for learning, healing, and community repair. Rather than focusing solely on punishment, restorative practices encourage individuals to take responsibility for their actions, understand the impact of their behavior on others, and actively participate in making things right. This approach recognizes that meaningful accountability is achieved when students engage in reflection, dialogue, and actions that restore trust and strengthen relationships.
The Office of Community Standards works with students, faculty, staff, and community members to address harm and promote a culture of care and mutual respect. Our commitment is to help students develop the skills necessary to navigate challenges, resolve conflicts constructively, and contribute positively to the college community.
Our Academic Integrity Policy :
Academic integrity is vital to an institution of higher education. The integrity of your work ‒ that it represents your independent thought and effort and that it properly acknowledges the work of others ‒ is essential to the awarding of credit and to the development of your academic potential. As such, instances of academic dishonesty ‒ cheating, plagiarism, etc., ‒ are extremely serious academic offenses that should not be overlooked. Students should be aware and regularly cautioned that violations of academic integrity may result in suspension or expulsion from the college.
