About Student Conduct
Mission
Student Conduct, within Student Affairs, fosters growth by engaging students in conversations about ethical decision-making; addressing student misconduct through fair and consistent processes; and promoting awareness of students’ rights and responsibilities.
We support the larger mission of Loyola University New Orleans by upholding the dignity and value of each person, encouraging wholeness of mind, body, and spirit, and responding with compassion to the needs of our community. Student Conduct develops and enforces policies, as well as offers programming and services that promote student safety and success, civility, respect for self and others, global citizenship, community responsibility, and ethical development.
