As a student at Penn State there are expectations that the University has of your behavior. These expectations can be found in our established Code of Conduct. The Director of Student Services and Engagement is charged with the responsibility of facilitating the disciplinary process to address student behavior and violations of the Code of Conduct. Any member of the campus community can make a complaint by contacting the Director of Student Services and Engagement. The process for faculty, staff, and student complaints is described below.
