About the Department

The Office of Student Conduct supports a safe, respectful, and caring learning environment at Central Michigan University by promoting personal responsibility, accountability, and student success.
Our office administers the Code of Student Conduct, which establishes expectations for student behavior and provides a fair and educational process for addressing potential violations of university policies.

We work with students, faculty, staff, and the broader university community to address concerns, resolve conflicts, and encourage informed decision-making. Through education, guidance, and meaningful opportunities for reflection and growth, we help students learn from their experiences, take responsibility for their actions, and contribute positively to the CMU community.

Central Michigan University has a more than 125-year legacy of preparing students to become leaders and changemakers in their communities and in their personal and professional lives.
We serve nearly 15,500 students on our Mount Pleasant campus, in satellite locations around the state and throughout the country, and through flexible online programs. Many of our approximately 300 undergraduate, master’s, specialist and doctoral programs in the arts, media, business, education, human services, health professions, liberal arts, social sciences, medicine, science and engineering are nationally ranked for excellence.
CMU leads the nation in leadership development programming through our Sarah R. Opperman Leadership Institute, and we are proud to be among only 5% of U.S. universities in the top two Carnegie research classifications.
