Preserving the College Community and Maintaining Campus Order
The trustees, administrators, faculty, staff and students make up the academic community of Marygrove College. As a member of the community, each has a common loyalty to cooperate in responsibly maintaining the educational mission of the College. While the vast majority of the community are law abiding and contribute to the peace and order that the College has been proud of, others fail to realize the seriousness and impact of their actions. Therefore, in keeping with Marygrove’s educational mission, any member of the community who violates campus policies and regulations outlined in this handbook or civil law, may be subject to disciplinary action.

The following are examples of violations of campus order. These examples are intended to be illustrative rather than an exhaustive list of unacceptable behaviors:
