Student Conduct Code

The purpose of DeKalb Technical College is to improve the intellectual skills and economic well being of Georgia citizens by preparing individuals through organized learning experiences to select, obtain, and advance in recognized occupations.

DeKalb Tech recognizes its students as adults pursuing a postsecondary education. In general, the conduct expected of students includes: (1) common decency and decorum; (2) recognition of and non-infringement upon the rights and property of others; (3) honesty in academic and non-academic pursuits; and (4) observance of local, state, and federal laws.

DeKalb Tech reserves the right to maintain a safe and orderly educational environment for students and staff. Therefore, when, in the judgment of college officials, a student’s conduct disrupts or threatens to disrupt the college community, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken to restore and protect the atmosphere of collegiality and mutual respect on campus. This procedure is intended to provide an orderly protocol for handling student disciplinary cases in accordance with the principles of due process and justice.
