Office of the Dean of Students

As an institution of higher learning and a community of persons with a special purpose, Bloomsburg University accepts its obligation to provide its members with an atmosphere which protects and promotes its educational mission and that guarantees its orderly and effective operation. To accomplish these goals, the University must require certain standards of conduct, both on and off campus, which are then expressed through the Student Code of Conduct and Judicial Process. In addition, Bloomsburg University students aspire to, follow and promote integrity, community, social justice, respect, and responsibility.

• Integrity- Huskies exemplify honesty, honor, and respect for the truth in all of their actions.
• Community- Huskies build and enhance their community; understand and appreciate how decisions and actions affect others and are just and equitable in the treatment of all members of the community.
• Social Justice- Huskies respect the dignity of every person and act to discourage and challenge those whose actions may be harmful to or diminish the worth of others.
• Respect- Huskies show positive regard for each other and for the community.
• Responsibility- Huskies accept responsibility for learning, personal behavior, and future success, and appropriately challenge others to do the same. Huskies use good judgment, are trustworthy, and take personal responsibility for actions.
