Mission Statement

The Student Conduct Staff in the Office of Community Standards at Highline College educates and develops students through a process of accountability that promotes integrity, responsibility, and growth, as they engage students in critical reflection of their choices. The student conduct staff is committed to the protection of the learning environment at Highline College, the health and safety of the community, and the rights of individual students throughout this process.

Core Values

  • Respect— Our community standards are based on respect for oneself and others, as well as respect for diversity, our campus community, and the greater community. Educational Opportunities—Our conduct process is at its core, a learning experience. We aim to provide students with opportunities to learn from their actions and decisions through thoughtful conversations and intentional sanctions. In addition, we strive to provide learning opportunities for the entire campus community through proactive programming.
  • Accountability—Our goal for students is that they individually hold themselves accountable for their actions, both positive and negative, and that they inspire others to abide by Highline College community standards.
  • Civility—Our approach is rooted in care, concern, compassion, and patience. Recognizing that we are all individuals with diverse experiences, we engage in dialogue and encourage students to reflect on how their actions impact others.
  • Honesty & Integrity—Our belief is that communicating truthfully and taking ownership of our actions exhibits moral courage. We do not believe that a
    student’s college experience is defined by involvement in a difficult incident, rather, it is shaped by how they choose to respond.
  • Equity and Student Development – The Student Conduct process is intended to be educational, grounded on values of student development and equity. As appropriate, it provides students a process to restore dignity and respect for themselves and their academic community.
