As a member of the Kentucky State University community, you are expected to uphold standards that promote respect, safety, and integrity on campus. This section outlines your rights and responsibilities as a student, as well as key policies that help maintain a safe and inclusive learning environment.

For a full listing of University policies and regulations, please visit the University policies and regulations webpage.

The Community Standards & Student Rights policy is designed to protect student rights and establish the responsibilities shared by members of the University community. It addresses intellectual freedom, fair treatment, freedom of speech and the press, peaceable assembly, participation in the University community, student conduct processes, sanctions, appeals, and other student rights and responsibilities.

Rights imply responsibilities. Students are expected to know and follow University regulations. A lack of knowledge about a University regulation does not excuse a student from complying with it.

As a Kentucky State student, you are expected to conduct yourself in a manner that respects the rights and safety of all community members. The Student Code of Conduct outlines the behavioral expectations for all students, both on and off campus.

Prohibited conduct includes, but is not limited to:
