Self-Care and Wellness

Part of being a member of community is to demonstrate through day-to-day actions that one is able to assure one’s own welfare and meet normal obligations. This essentially means that students must agree to care for themselves and behave in ways that will not cause an unreasonable level of difficulty for themselves or those around them, nor negatively impact the welfare, safety, and success of other community members. Examples would include but are not limited to, caring adequately for one’s physical and emotional health, dealing appropriately with life challenges, getting along with others successfully, making adequate academic progress, not causing or threatening to cause harm to one’s self or others, and demonstration appropriate personal hygiene. It is also expected that students will seek out and/or accept professional assistance for those situations that they are unable to resolve on their own.

If these self-care expectations are not met, students will be held accountable for their inappropriate behavior and the negative impact on the community. Accountability may include required wellness check-ins, loss of university privileges, being removed from campus housing and/or suspension from the University. See Interim Measures
