Student Judicial Affairs

Framingham State College strives to maintain an educational community environment which fosters academic pursuit, intellectual growth and the development of students who are ethically sensitive and responsible persons. 

The College has the responsibility and authority to take proper disciplinary action in response to behavior that threatens or disrupts the mission of the College.  The College’s Judicial Code is detailed in the RAM Student Handbook.  Included in the Judicial Code are the General Student Conduct Code Regulations, the process for Administration of Discipline for Violation of College Policy, and Definition of Disciplinary Sanctions. 

The goal of Judicial Affairs is to respond to alleged violations of the General Student Conduct Code Regulations in a manner which protects the College’s mission and the campus community and which also aids in the development of ethical and responsible students.   

It should be noted that the campus judicial system is not a court of law. Campus judicial proceedings pertain to resolution of alleged violations of the General Student Conduct Code Regulations.  Behaviors that violate the Student Conduct Code may also violate criminal or civil law, and as such may also be subject to proceedings under the legal system.  In addition, the student judicial system in no way precludes a person who incurs damage or injury from seeking redress in the civil or criminal courts.

Students are expected to be familiar with College policies and guidelines including those outlined in the RAM Student Handbook, The Guide to Residence Living, Campus Parking Rules and Regulations and in other official College publications.

Student Judicial Affairs is located on the lower level of Corinne Hall Towers.  The Office may be accessed through the lower level entry adjacent to State Street.
