黑料网

The Office of the Dean of Students provides annual updates on 黑料网’s current policies, along with mandated state and federal regulations. Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with these policies.

In addition to this publication, students should consult the 2026鈥�2027 and the  , which are valuable resources for both undergraduate and graduate students.

We hope you find this publication to be a helpful reference.The information contained within is considered to be illustrative rather than exhaustive. Please note that while all information is accurate at the time of posting, it is subject to change without notice. These changes may affect both current and prospective students.

Student Code of Conduct

黑料网 has formulated a student code of conduct on behavioral standards and expectations, which is consistent with its mission as an educational institution. These regulations and the procedures for their enforcement apply to all student conduct and behavior. The specific regulations should not be viewed as a comprehensive code of desirable conduct; rather they describe the minimum standards of behavior expected of Geneseo students in order to facilitate the fulfillment of the basic mission of the values of the college.

This student code of conduct is based on the principle that each student must accept responsibility for their own behavior. 黑料网 makes available to all students its regulations and its procedures for enforcing them on the Dean of Students鈥� website (via the link below). Students are expected to become familiar with the regulations of 黑料网 and act accordingly. 

Student Code of Conduct 

Title IX Grievance Policy and Sexual Violence Response Policy 

Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 prohibits any person in the United States from being discriminated against on the basis of sex in seeking access to any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. The U.S. Department of Education, which enforces Title IX, has long defined the meaning of Title IX鈥檚 prohibition on sex discrimination broadly to include various forms of sexual harassment and sexual violence that interfere with a student鈥檚 ability to equally access our educational programs and opportunities. 

Sexual Violence Response Policy 

Title IX and Sexual Misconduct Grievance Policy

Any faculty, staff member, or student who has questions about reporting an incident, please contact the Title IX coordinator at titleIX@geneseo.edu or 585-245-5023. Geneseo will work with you to ensure the appropriate policies and/or procedures are applied to each report.

Bias-Related Incidents and Reporting (rev. 10/3/19)

A bias-related incident or bias incident is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender鈥檚 bias against the actual or perceived age, ancestry, color, disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, race, religion, religious practices, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status, or military status of the targeted person or group, but does not rise to the level of a criminal offense.

A hate crime is a criminal offense, committed against a person or property which is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender鈥檚 bias against the actual or perceived age, ancestry, color, disability, sex, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, race, religion, religious practices, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status, or military status of the targeted person or group.

What happens after I report an incident?

All reports are reviewed promptly to determine the level of urgency and identify a plan for follow-up.  When appropriate, reports will shared with the Dean of Students or Assistant Dean of Students who will determine if there is a potential violation of the Student Code of Conduct.

Processes for Addressing Bias-Related Incidents

Geneseo is committed to providing an equitable and welcoming climate for all students. Some bias-related incidents and non-inclusive climate behaviors are criminal and will be investigated by the University Police Department, and/or violate Geneseo鈥檚 Student Code of Conduct and thus may be addressed in a student conduct proceeding. In the case of Code violations, disciplinary actions may be imposed and are listed under 鈥淎rticle V-Sanctions鈥� in the Code of Conduct.

When an incident is reported that has been determined to not be illegal or a violation of the Student Code of Conduct, it is still important to recognize the negative impact that it has had on member(s) of our community. When the parties are known, attempts will be made to provide resources and support to those impacted and to provide education to those who caused harm. If all parties are willing, members of the Bias Prevention and Response Team will facilitate a Restorative Justice dialogue with the goal of developing a mutual understanding and repairing any harm that has occurred. Restorative Justice emphasizes repairing the harm caused by negative, inequitable, hurtful behavior. It is best accomplished through cooperative processes that allow all willing involved or impacted individuals to meet, have a dialogue about the harm, and discover a resolution together. The restorative justice process can lead to the transformation of people, relationships, and communities.

We understand why the individual reporting would want to know how the incident was resolved after they reported it. Federal privacy law, FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) prohibits anyone employed by the College from sharing any information about a specific student. The BPRT will, however, reach out to the reporting individual (if known and if they have indicated that they are willing to be contacted) and share all of the details legally allowed.

Campus Administrative Rules for Students

In order to be eligible for admission and readmission, and to be considered a student in good standing, each student must do the following:

1. Provide the College, through the Office of the Registrar, with current local and home addresses and telephone numbers, and respond promptly to all official requests for information or appointments.
2. Check their Geneseo email account and College mailbox in the MacVittie College Union on a regular basis as official College communication may take place via these addresses.
3. Obtain a College identification card that is to be presented upon request to any member of the faculty or staff.*
4. Notify the Registrar of name changes and change in other contact information in a timely fashion.
5. Comply with official requests of College faculty and staff members, including authorized student employees; obey regulations governing the use of campus facilities, including residence halls, and assure that guests do the same.
6. Pay on time all fees, penalties, and other debts owed to the College; and return library materials or other borrowed College property when due and upon request.
7. Be present on campus when necessary (e.g., required meetings, registration, examinations) to show an unconditional intention of doing academic work and pursuing a degree; and to notify the Dean of Students of any planned absence during class sessions which is to last more than one week, in order to make clear that permanent withdrawal is not intended.
8. Maintain the level of physical and emotional health necessary for the completion of academic work and for living in the college community that does not, in the judgment of appropriate clinical and administrative officials, present a pronounced risk to the student鈥檚 own health or the welfare of others.
9. Complete the formal withdrawal procedure upon leaving the College, unless dismissed, graduated, or granted a waiver due to inability to be present on campus.
10. Register any car driven regularly on campus and obey all vehicle regulations.

* The College requires all students to procure and carry a valid 黑料网 identification card. The identification card must be presented or surrendered upon request of a College official, including residence hall staff, University Police, Student and Campus Life staff, CAS staff and affiliates, and students authorized by the College to supervise campus events, activities, and residence halls. The College identification card is used to access campus services, buildings, events, library materials, and campus dining operations.

Failure to present a student identification card upon request by a College official, alteration or falsification of data on a College identification card, creation and/or distribution of falsified identification cards, or using an identification card to impersonate others are violations of this policy and may result in conduct action and/or arrest.

It is the student鈥檚 responsibility to replace the identification card if it is confiscated, stolen, lost, bent, broken, or worn beyond the point of readability by College officials and/or card readers used by the College. Replacement cards may be obtained at the Campus Auxiliary Services office for a fee.

Supervisors of various campus facilities (e.g., dining hall, gymnasium, game room) are authorized to suspend usage privileges of students who violate rules or direct instructions from College officials. Each loss of privilege is reported to the Dean of Students, to whom it may be appealed, and the supervisor is expected to offer an interview regarding reasons at the time a restriction is applied.

A student may act as an official representative of the College or University only with authority from the President or a Vice President. College endorsements of private endeavors may not be implied.

No student may represent a commercial enterprise, advertise or conduct business, or attempt profitable fund-raising or sales of any type on campus except as part of an approved student organization activity. (Exception: Students may charge for typing, tutoring, and similar educational services rendered solely by themselves as individuals.) Student organizations may not sell, advertise, or raise funds in any way on or off campus without written permission from the Director of Student Life or designee. Nonprofit political and charitable fund-raising must be similarly approved.

Administrative separation from the College may occur, for example, for violating any of the above regulations. Procedure for an administrative separation includes the opportunity for a hearing before the Dean of Students (or designee) and an appeal to the Vice President for Student Life. Short of release, failure to meet administrative obligations to the College may result in withholding an academic transcript and the credits recorded thereon, or withholding the privilege of registration for a subsequent term, or both. Failure to meet financial obligations to the College may result in withholding the privilege of registration for a subsequent term, as well as a referral to a 3rd party collection agency. Students released for administrative reasons will be recommended for readmission at the discretion of the Dean of Students, pending completion of stipulated requirements detailed in the student鈥檚 administrative release letter.

Children鈥檚 Visitation in the Classroom 

The College values family life and recognizes that its students hold a variety of roles, including parent and caregiver. Occasionally, the fulfillment of these roles leads to challenges. It is the College鈥檚 expectation that when students are scheduled to attend class, it is a student鈥檚 responsibility to arrange caregiving services for the children for whom they are responsible, and not engage in childcare during class time. It is understandable that in certain extraordinary situations it may not be possible for students to secure alternative child care arrangements. In situations such as these, students are expected to confer with their faculty members to decide upon a course of action that are in the best interests of the students, children, and fellow classmates.

A child is defined as an individual under the age of seventeen years who is not a matriculated student of the College.

Policy

1. It is the policy of the College that, in lieu of other child care arrangements, minor children of students should not be present in a classroom, laboratory, performance or rehearsal space, art studio or other educational space.
2. Short-term exceptions may be permitted for true emergency situations or for brief periods of time if approved in advance by the supervising instructor.
3. If such exceptions are approved, at all times minor, dependent children of students must remain under the direct supervision of the parent/guardian.
4. Each instructor has the authority to determine if the presence of a child is disruptive to the class, and revoke the exception and request that the student and child leave the space.
5. The routine or extended presence of friends and adult family members of College students in College classes is also not permitted.
6. Students as parents/guardians are responsible for the behavior of their children on campus. Students whose children engage in any disruptive or destructive behavior may be referred for possible College conduct action.
7. This policy is not intended to prohibit appropriately supervised children from the campus when the purpose of their visit is to attend specified co-curricular or extra-curricular events. The unsupervised presence of minor children on campus is strongly discouraged.
8. To enforce the policy, classroom instructors and department chairpersons should first remind the student of the policy before contacting the Dean of Students for assistance.

FERPA 

FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) is a federal law that protects the privacy of students鈥� education records. FERPA gives eligible students certain rights regarding their records, including the right to inspect and review them, request corrections, and control the disclosure of personally identifiable information, subject to certain exceptions permitted by law. The University is committed to protecting student information and maintaining the confidentiality of education records in accordance with FERPA. 

Release of Student Information 

Firearms, Weapons and Explosives (3/9/2022)

Firearms, Weapons, and Explosives Policy 

Good Samaritan Policy

The health, safety and well being of every member of the College community is the highest priority of the College. The College aims to provide assistance and support to the members of its community, and its students are expected to 鈥淪tand Up鈥� for each other and take action by seeking assistance in the event of a medical emergency, or when they perceive that a member of the community may be in danger.

In instances of life threatening medical emergencies related to possible alcohol or drug overdoses:

• students who in good faith contact College authorities or emergency medical responders about the need for medical attention for others will be exempt from student conduct sanctions for the possession and consumption of alcohol or drugs;
• students for whom medical attention is sought through College authorities or emergency medical responders may be exempt from student conduct sanctions for the possession and consumption of alcohol or drugs; and
• students who contact College authorities or emergency medical responders for their own personal medical needs may be exempt from student conduct sanctions for the possession and consumption of alcohol or drugs.

This does not preclude conduct action for other violations of the Student Code of Conduct associated with underage drinking or drug use.

Conversely, the College will consider the failure to seek emergency assistance as a factor when determining the appropriateness of institutional action.

To fall under the scope of this policy, the student who seeks assistance for another student must:

• remain where they are, or remain with the individual requiring emergency care; and
• identify themselves to, provide information to, and comply with, the directives of the responding University Police officers or other College officials.

In addition, the student for whom assistance is sought must subsequently agree to timely completion of recommended alcohol education activities, assessment and/or treatment such as BASICS (Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students.) Failure to complete the prescribed course of action may result in conduct action.

Students should also be aware that this policy does not prevent action by law enforcement authorities.

Student bystanders and victims/survivors who have been drinking and/or using drugs (whether such use is voluntary or involuntary) reporting in good faith an act of sexual violence or a victim/survivor reporting sexual violence to 黑料网 officials or law enforcement will not be subject to campus conduct action for violations of alcohol and/or drug use policies occurring at or near the time of the sexual violence.

In circumstances where an organization recognized or sponsored by the College is found to be hosting an event where emergency assistance is requested, the willingness to seek assistance may be viewed as a mitigating factor in determining group conduct sanctions.

Student Identification (ID) 

Student College ID Policy 

Immunization Policy

New York State Public Health Law requires students taking six or more credits to provide proof of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella. Additionally, all students must have received the meningococcal immunization or must verify by their signature that they have received information about meningococcal disease and have made an informed decision to decline the immunization.

Immunization records and requirements information can be found on the Student Health and Counseling website:  

Health Requirements 

Immunization Requirement Deadlines

黑料网 requires that completed immunization documentation be received by the following deadlines:

• For students entering in the fall: August 1st
• For students entering in the spring: January 15th
• For students accepted late: within two weeks of acceptance.

Non-Compliance

Students not in compliance will continue to be notified. Administration reserves the right to put a records and registration hold on a student account once the deadline has passed. Per SUNY policy, failure to provide proof of immunization by the 30^th day of the semester, can be disenrolled from the College (*45 days for out-of-state and international students).

Exemptions

New York state law allows a student to request a waiver from an immunization that is required by law if that student (or the parent(s) or guardian(s) of students younger than 18) holds genuine and sincere religious beliefs that are contrary to the practice of immunization, or, if there is a medical reason to avoid vaccination. Please note, in the event of an outbreak, medical or religiously exempt students may be asked to leave the 黑料网 campus for their safety.  Exemption forms are found on the Student Health and Counseling website. All exemptions are reviewed by the Student Health Medical Director.

Public Showing of a Film on Campus (rev. 7/30/20)

Under federal law, the holder of a copyright for a movie has the exclusive right to control performances of that movie 鈥� including showings of a videotape or digital copy. An individual student, staff person, faculty member, or student organization that wants to show a film on campus must obtain permission for the showing from the copyright holder. Pre-recorded home videocassettes and DVDs that are available for personal rental or retail purchase provide the renter or buyer the right to exhibit the movie for home use only, and these movies cannot be shown in campus public spaces without first obtaining the film rights for public showings. Even personally-owned copies and 鈥渉ome use鈥� versions of films obtained from video retailers are not cleared for public performance use because proper licensing fees to the copyright owners have not been paid for such use.  This reflects federal law and is not just a Geneseo policy. The complete law on film copyrights is in the U.S. Copyright code, title 17, and may be found at .

Netflix is not licensed for commercial use and therefore shows and movies on Netflix cannot be used for public showings.

There are three exceptions under Copyright Law:

1. Educator鈥檚 Performance Rights: There is a clause in the U.S. Copyright Law which gives exemption to the law through the Educator鈥檚 Performance Rights.  ALL six of the qualifications below must be met in order to show a film using the Educator鈥檚 Performance Rights.

1. Performances and displays of audiovisual works must be made from legitimate copies;
2. Performances and displays must be part of a systematic course of instruction and not for the entertainment, recreation, or cultural value of any part of the audience;
3. Performances and displays must be given by the instructors or pupils;
4. Performances and displays must be given in classrooms or other places devoted to instruction;
5. Performances and displays must be part of the teaching activities of non-profit educational institutions; and
6. Attendance is limited to the instructors, pupils, and guest lecturers.

Public Domain: There are some films which fall under 鈥減ublic domain鈥� and are not subject to licensing. You can find a complete listing of such films at .  Most of these films are pre-1950.

Netflix Educational Screenings of Documentaries: Some Netflix Original educational documentaries are available for one-time educational screenings.  To find out which titles are available for educational screenings, go to the “Only On Netflix” section of .

2. Short Clips: Showing a short clip less than 15 seconds from any movie can be done without acquiring a license. Any clip longer than 15 seconds requires appropriate permission and licensing.

In short, students may show a lawfully obtained video (e.g. purchased from a store or borrowed from a library) to a small group of friends in his or her own residence hall room.

Faculty members may show a film for educational purposes only if the six conditions cited above are met.

In order to legally show a film in a campus public setting, a person must do one of the following:

1. Contact a motion picture distribution company such as Swank Motion Pictures (www.swank.com) or Criterion (www.criterionpicusa.com) and pay the appropriate fee to acquire the rights to show a particular film. The fee will vary depending on the film.  Requests should be submitted at least 6 weeks in advance to ensure its availability in the desired format (DVD or VHS).
2. Find out who owns the rights to the film you wish to exhibit and contact them to request use of the film. You can find this information at .  Authorization to use the film must be obtained in writing.
3. Contact the Geneseo Campus Activities Board (Films & Forums) and collaborate with them to legally show the desired film as part of a Films & Forums movie schedule.

Student Organization Conduct Procedures 

Student organizations are an integral part of the co-curricular life on the Geneseo campus. Such organizations exist to offer a maximum number of opportunities for students to pursue their educational, social and recreational interests. Insofar as they are sanctioned, registered*, and supported by the College, they become an extension of the 黑料网 community. It is expected that each organization receiving the privileges of registration will accept the responsibility of representing the College both on and off campus in a positive manner. Part of that responsibility will include adherence to the Student Code of Conduct.

An established conduct procedure will be used when registered student organizations, including Club sports and intercollegiate athletic teams of the College, violate the Student Code of Conduct. This policy does not supersede the administrative prerogative to withdraw registration for just cause from any campus organization.

The Dean of Students or his/her designee is responsible for the investigation of all complaints, except complaints within the purview of the Title IX office, or reports charging misconduct by any registered student group. If it is determined that there may be cause for action against a registered student group, a determination will be made by the dean if the charges can be disposed of administratively by mutual consent of all parties involved, including the Conduct Administrator, or if the matter will be referred to the Student Conduct Board. Such administrative resolution disposition shall be final and there shall be no subsequent proceedings. If after investigation the incident appears to result from individual rather than group action, the individual student鈥檚 behavior will be subject to review under the Student Conduct Procedure. Referral of a charge against a group to the Student Conduct Board does not preclude parallel action against the individual students through the College Conduct Procedure in the same case.

Charges will be presented to a representative of a student organization accused of violation of the Student Code of Conduct no less than three days before the scheduled hearing before the selected Board. The advisor of record of the organization also will receive a copy of the charges and be invited to attend the hearing. The charged organization鈥檚 representatives will be given the opportunity to meet with the Dean of Students or designee prior to the hearing to discuss the hearing process and procedures. It will be the responsibility of the charged organization to select no more than two of their members as representatives of the organization at the hearing and any pre-hearing or post-hearing meetings. These individuals will remain the organizational representatives throughout the appeals process. The advisor to the organization (or an approved substitute) may attend all sessions and meetings but is not required to do so.

The hearing process is not based on legal standards and allows the Board full access to all pertinent information related to the charges under consideration. The organization鈥檚 representatives are asked to explain and present evidence related to the charges and they are offered an opportunity to discuss with members of the Board all relevant implications of the behavior of their members. They may bring forward a reasonable number of witnesses to provide testimony on the charges and on behalf of the organization. In addition, they may directly question any witnesses that have presented testimony or evidence to the Board related to the organization鈥檚 misconduct, unless they have agreed in advance that the written statements of the witnesses are correct. Hearings conducted by the Board are not open to the public. The current College policy regarding the Right to Legal Counsel will apply to these procedures.

The Board first determines by majority vote of its members whether or not the organization has violated the standards of conduct. If the majority find the organization has violated the standards of conduct, the Board will, by majority vote, determine the conduct action to be taken against the organization. The organization鈥檚 representatives will be provided the opportunity to provide the Board with information about any extenuating circumstances or other factors that should be considered by the Board prior to the determination of conduct action.

Conduct Actions

The Board鈥檚 determination and decision on conduct actions is communicated to the representatives of the organization orally and in writing by the Dean of Students or his/her designee. A copy of the written decision is kept on file in the Dean of Students鈥� Office. The advisor of the organization is provided a copy of the decision and, if the organization has an external affiliation, the headquarters of the organization will be sent a copy of the charges and the decision. The Board may take any of the following conduct actions:

Written Warning – A letter from the Dean of Students or designee reviewing the behavior of the organization that was inappropriate and expectations for the future. The consequences of similar behavior in the future should be clearly stated. The date on which the Letter of Warning will be removed from the file should also be included.

Conduct Probation with Sanctions – A severe warning that may require the organization to take specific actions or refrain from certain activities. Specifically, an organization may be required to:

1. Perform a specific community service for a specified amount of time or for a specific purpose;

2. Organize and complete a fund-raising activity with the proceeds to be donated to a designated organization;

3. Make restitution of a specified dollar amount to the individual or group injured by the actions of the organization;

4. Be prohibited for a specified period from the use of College facilities or participation in certain Campus activities;

5. In a manner to be determined by the Dean of Students, distribute a written public apology to the College and/or local community.

Suspension of Registration – The withdrawal of registration and its privileges for a specified period of time. Any conditions required for the re-registration of the organization should be specified in writing.

Withdrawal of Registration – The permanent withdrawal of registration and its privileges.

Appeal Process

An organization that has received a conduct sanction under this procedure has the right to appeal the Board鈥檚 decision to the Vice President for Student Life. The appeal must be in writing and received by the Vice President鈥檚 Office within five (5) working days of the receipt by the organization of the written decision of the Board. The decision of the Vice President will be reviewed by the President of the College before it is issued in writing to the organization鈥檚 representatives.

It is expected that the organization representatives making the appeal will meet with the Vice President after submitting their written appeal. The Vice President may uphold the conduct sanction or take a lesser action. The conduct sanction may not be increased in the appeals process. The conduct action taken by the Board will not be implemented until the appeal process is concluded.

If the Vice President is not available to hear an appeal or was involved in initiating charges against the organization, the President of the College will select another administrative officer to hear the appeal.

An organization that fails to fulfill or implement a Board鈥檚 conduct action or an action decided on appeal will lose its registration.

Organizations and advisors are given copies of these procedures at the time they are notified of a conduct review. The College administration may at its discretion make public the charges against the organization and the final conduct penalties imposed by this procedure.

The College retains the right to move forward with this procedure if the charged organization does not participate in a timely manner.

(* Registration is a formal process by which student social, academic, fraternal and service organizations are allowed to function by the College.)

Violent Felony Offenses and Missing Students Investigations

The University Police Department should be notified of any violent felony offense occurring on campus property. Members of the college community are asked to immediately report all suspected violent felony offenses, including (but not limited to) murder, manslaughter, sodomy, aggravated sexual abuse, assault, burglary, robbery, arson, and criminal possession of a weapon.

University Police officers work closely with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and college officials to gather and share as much information as possible with victims, families and the public. Victims and witnesses of crimes or other traumatic incidents are encouraged to seek assistance by visiting the Lauderdale Center for Student Health and Counseling at (585) 245-5716; or by contacting the Livingston County Sheriff鈥檚 Office Crime Victim Specialist at (585) 243-7046. Information shared with college counseling officials is not released without the client鈥檚 written consent unless there is fear for the safety of the client or someone else.

In cases of a missing person complaint, a police investigation is initiated when there is no reasonable explanation for a person鈥檚 absence. University Police should be immediately notified of all missing person reports for students residing both on and off campus. The College provides students with the ability to designate an individual for the institution to contact within 24 hours of the student being reported missing. It also provides students with the means to register confidential contact information in the event they are missing longer than 24 hours. If the student resides on campus and is missing for longer than 24 hours, the College is required to notify the contacts listed by the student. In cases of an unemancipated student under 18 years of age, the College is required to notify a custodial parent or guardian within 24 hours of the student being determined to be missing.  If a student resides off campus and is missing for more than 24 hours, the Chief of University Police will notify the appropriate law enforcement agency within 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing. The NYS Office of Forensic and Victim 

Services Missing Person Data Collection Guide is used to gather valuable information when handling missing person鈥檚 cases.
