STATEMENT ON OFF-CAMPUS BEHAVIOR AND RESPONSIBILITY
Students at Kings' College are members of both the College community and the community of Wilkes-Barre. All members of the College community have the obligation to adhere to the policies and regulations of the College and the laws of the Commonwealth and local jurisdictions. The College holds students accountable to a higher standard of behavior than what is minimally expected by public law.
The College's policy is to hold students responsible for behavior off campus. The behavior of students, both positive and negative, reflects upon the College through public officials and the public. The College will take disciplinary action on complaints received concerning off- campus student behavior from the police, neighbors, landlords, other students, faculty, staff, and the public. Students whose behavior off campus is contrary to public law and/or college regulations and policies will be subject to disciplinary sanctions.
All students must be aware of the following:
o The College will discipline students for incidents that occur off campus.
o The decisions of the College and Magistrate/courts are independent and mutually exclusive.
o The College will discipline students in all cases where a citation or arrest takes place.
o The College will not delay issuing a decision in a
case because of a pending case before the Magis-
trate or courts.
o Students are responsible for the behavior of their
guests on and off campus and for any behavior that occurs in their residence.

OFF-CAMPUS RESIDENTS' RESPONSIBILITY FOR BEHAVIOR IN THEIR APARTMENTS/HOUSES
Students living off campus are responsible for the behavior that occurs in their apartment or house by
themselves, guests or visitors. If a complaint is received by the College and the individual can not be identified, the residents of the dwelling will be held accountable and will be issued disciplinary sanctions. Such behaviors in which the resident will be held responsible are, for example: dropping items or liquid from windows, shouting obscenities or abusive language from a dwelling, underage consumption or possession of alcohol, excessive noise, discharging fireworks or causing a fire hazard. If the guest, visitor or unidentified individual is acting inappropriately, the resident will be held accountable.
Off campus students are responsible to be positive neighbors in the community. Students must respect the rights of others, including neighbors, faculty, staff and other students, to live in an environment without being infringed upon by the inappropriate behaviors of others.
