Student Rights and Responsibilities

This is an archived copy of the 2019-2020 catalog. To access the most recent version of the catalog, please visit http://catalog.cincinnatistate.edu.

In healthy communities organized along democratic principles, participants recognize rights as well as responsibilities. This section of the Catalog outlines certain rights and responsibilities as they apply to students, including:

  • Discussion of Cincinnati State’s embrace of a broad statement of Student Rights and Freedoms
  • Specific legal rights that are detailed in state and federal law involving privacy and discrimination on the basis of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and the like.
  • A student’s right to be free from sexual harassment, and to enjoy a drug-free environment.

The section on responsibilities deals mainly with the Student Code of Conduct, the College’s policy on responsible use of information technology and peer-to-peer file sharing, and other non-academic policies of the College.

The College’s policy on Academic Integrity is covered in the Academic Policies and Procedures section of this Catalog.
