Home About Student Code of Conduct Student Code of Conduct KCC is an educational institution with a collegiate environment and thus has an obligation to adopt rules and regulations that both respect and protect the rights of its students and the campus community. Admission to Kankakee Community College carries with it the expectation that students will conduct themselves as responsible members of the College community, that they will comply with established rules and regulations of the College, maintain high standards of honesty and integrity, and respect the rights, privileges, and property of other members of the College community. As a postsecondary institution of higher education, KCC encourages students to rise above the minimum standards, and work to build a community of learners where all members of the College community show respect for the views of others and to accept responsibility for their own actions. The violation of KCC policies, rules and regulations is counterproductive to building a learning community. Hence, the College will act immediately to protect the life and property of KCC, while maintaining and balancing the rights of students and the KCC community. The right of every student to learn will be protected by implementing the KCC Code of Conduct. Every student who accepts enrollment at KCC agrees to abide by all policies, rules and regulations published at the College. To this end, the College is committed to a community of learners where all students have the same opportunity to succeed. The College further recognizes each student's procedural right to due process, which includes providing notice setting forth the alleged violation(s), and a speedy and fair hearing and appeal process. Any member of the College community can initiate an accusation of an alleged violation. If a student is accused and cited for an alleged violation, he or she will receive notice of the alleged violation. Each student is responsible for reading and complying with the Student Code of Conduct and Academic Integrity policy, which are made available in the College catalog, and on the KCC Website.
