Pathfinder - Colorado College

Philosophy

Colorado College is committed to providing an environment that is conducive to academic success for each member of its community while fostering socially responsible and productive citizens. Optimal education occurs when each member of the community makes a positive contribution by their presence.  Though the liberal arts tradition encourages individual pursuits of knowledge, it must also be balanced by the needs of the community. The Colorado College Student Code of Conduct is founded on five community values: respect, integrity, responsibility, community, and fairness. It is a privilege for students to attend Colorado College and it is expected that all students uphold the spirit of these community values in their daily lives. All students are expected to cooperate with college officials and any investigations of incidents. Students who are found responsible for violating any of the community values or the policies in the Code of Conduct will typically be held accountable through the student conduct procedures and processes outlined below. This is not intended to be a list of rules to follow; rather, students are expected to internalize the “spirit” of the policies and make choices based on those.
