Student Conduct
The Office of Student Affairs oversees the Student Conduct process for Western students and student organizations. The college’s philosophy on student conduct is educational in nature; we strive to hold student’s accountable for behavior that does not align with college expectations while giving students the opportunity to reflect and learn from mistakes. Through attendance at Western, students agree to accept the rights and responsibilities in the Code of Conduct as well as local, state, and federal laws.
Student Code of Conduct
The Student Code of Conduct establishes expectations of behavior for individual students and student organizations at Western Oklahoma State College.

Education & Prevention
Western seeks to support students who may be struggling with behavioral issues or need additional support resources. The following resources are available to students:
Student Trainings in Canvas
Each student has a training course in Canvas (online classroom) that provides training on Drug & Alcohol Abuse Prevention, Sexual Misconduct, Cybersecurity Awareness, and Mental Health Awareness. These trainings are required annually and can help with educating students on appropriate conduct and healthy behaviors that can prevent behavioral misconduct. Optional trainings are also provided for students who wish to learn more about interacting with a diverse campus.
Drug & Alcohol Prevention Program

Per federal law, Western complies with the Title IX regulations for a campus environment free from harassment, misconduct, and discrimination on the basis of sex.
