3. Behavior Expectations and Responsibilities

The following sections outline those forms of behavior that are inappropriate in a University community. These forms of inappropriate behavior have been organized into two groups to help students understand the standards of behavior that are not appropriate. These are Respect for the NDSU Community and Respect for the Protection and Rights of Others. The forms of inappropriate behaviors that are outlined are not intended to be exhaustive. Instead, these are intended to assist students to avoid conflicts with University rules and regulations and other members of the University community. Most students will find that avoiding these inappropriate behaviors will not restrict their activities unnecessarily and will protect the rights and freedoms of everyone in the University community.

To facilitate correspondence between the student and the University, NDSU will use either the most recent U. S. mailing address provided to the University Registration and Records Office, 110 Ceres Hall, or the student’s NDSU e-mail account. Students are expected to maintain current local mailing addresses and are expected to activate and regularly monitor their NDSU e-mail accounts.

General Complaint Procedures
The Vice-President for Student Affairs Office has established a procedure for students to file complaints regarding student concerns or other issues. The purpose of the procedure is to provide for an orderly collection of information, to address students' complaints in a timely manner by appropriate University personnel, and to help students learn effective conflict resolution skills.

A form is available in the Vice President for Student Affairs Office, Old Main 100, the Dean of Student Life Office, Memorial Union 368 or on-line (www.ndsu.edu/vpsa/forms/ProblemsForm.pdf), to assist students in stating the problem and the desired problem resolution. In addition, students may arrange a meeting with the Associate Director of Student Rights and Responsibilities, Memorial Union 368, at any time during the process for advice and direction in resolving the problem.
