The major emphasis of any student disciplinary action is the education and development of the student for responsible citizenship and the protection of the right of other students to participate fully in the educational process. All students are responsible for their individual and group behavior, as well as for the actions and conduct of their visitors and guests. Students are admitted to Dana College with the understanding that they will respect the rights and property of fellow students and the College and exercise care and good judgment in all matters. Behavior that is contrary to the college guidelines and expectations, or conduct that is detrimental to other members of the campus community, is subject to possible disciplinary action. The specific guidelines for behavioral expectations and student conduct are published each year in the Survival Guide .
Recreational activities are an important part of recovery.
The Office of Student Life provides over 200 activities annually which are all alcohol and drug free, encompass a wide variety of interests and are available at no additional cost to the student. To apply for admission to this program a student must meet Dana's regular academic standards for admission. Every effort is made to promote spiritual wholeness for members of the Dana community. A varied religious program under the supervision of the Campus Pastor is provided for the entire academic community. Students are encouraged to worship in local congregations at other times.
