Student Conduct & Ethical Development
Mission
The Student Conduct & Ethical Development (SCED) at 天美视频 University Maritime Academy administers the student conduct system. Cal Maritime is unique among the CSU campuses, in that we are both a university and a maritime academy. We administer both the 天美视频 University Standards for Student Conduct and the Corps of Cadets Code of Conduct. This office ensures a fair an impartial administration of the disciplinary process while guiding student through it; educating students about their responsibilities; and protecting the rights of all members of the community. The office address student behavior through the Conduct Review Boards (peer review boards), Discipline Review Hearings (campus-based administrative hearings), and Captain's Masts (shipboard administrative hearings).
Philosophy
The SCED exists to facilitate individual student success through an ethic of care and accountability while maintaining a safe and productive community. Through interactions with the SCED, cadets will understand the purpose of the CSU Standards for Student Conduct and the Corps of Cadets Code of Conduct, both of which establish rights and responsibilities of community members, as well as identify ways to address their behavior so it does not negatively impact the community in the future. While the office's process is one which is educational and students are encouraged to engage students in learning, there are certain behaviors that will lead to a separation from the University.
