Student Rights and Responsibilities

NFC is determined that the campus be a place of learning, safety, shared responsibility and harmony. The faculty, staff and students have an obligation to foster an atmosphere of mutual respect and high regard for the life and property of the College.

It is expected that all members of the educational community will share respect for the law and adhere to the highest ethical and moral standards of conduct. In the event that these high standards are not self-enforced, the College will take action to protect its interests. Student conduct on campus and at off-campus sponsored activities and facilities is expected to be supportive of these interests.
