If you attend one of the dozens of colleges or universities around Philadelphia, you are subject to your school's student code of conduct. A code of conduct sets limits on student behavior. A student found in violation of the code of conduct may be punished. Sanctions include reprimand, suspension, and full expulsion. In some cases, violations of the student code of conduct may be referred to the prosecutor's office for criminal charges.
