For many students, residence life represents the first extended stay away from home. All students who become resident students at SMTC are expected to conduct themselves with regard for the welfare of the College and the respect for the rights of all individuals. They must refrain from any action which might injure the College or any of its members. The College reserves the right to request withdrawal, at any time, of a student whose conduct or academic standing is judged unsatisfactory. There is a strict policy concerning drugs and alcohol on campus.
Illegal drugs are grounds for immediate contract termination.
Alcohol is not permitted in any residence hall room or common areas. Disciplinary action will take place for any student found in violation, regardless of whether or not the student is of legal drinking age. The residence halls are organized and governed by a Residents' Council, elected in each hall. The individual students, however, are responsible for the condition of their rooms, while the Residents' Council assumes responsibility for the order, discipline and social functions of the entire hall. The very character and nature of residential living provides a setting for relaxation and friendship while simultaneously encouraging the development of knowledge, skills, respect and consideration for one's peers.
