Student Conduct Policy

Corrective action may be taken against students by the Graduate Council for the following reasons:

1. Misconduct related to academic integrity. Work represented by students must be their own. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. For more information, see the Code of Academic Integrity.
2. Conduct not in keeping with the standards of Christian leadership. The MRE is a formation degree for Christian ministry. This formation includes cultivating a way of life in keeping with standards of Christian morality. Failure in this regard may be the basis for corrective action. For more information, see the Student Handbook, located on the student portal.
3. Behavior detrimental to maintaining a healthy learning community. Given the cohort nature of the MRE in missional leadership, the ability of students to learn in community is vital. Corrective action may be taken if a student is deemed to be persistently disruptive of cohort cohesion. For more information, see the Student Handbook, located on the student portal.

Students have the right to appeal corrective actions. See the Academic Appeals section of this catalog for more information.
