Policies

Which policies apply to you? 

As a Queen’s student, you may belong to several communities on campus. For example, you may be a graduate student who plays intramurals; you may be an undergraduate student-athlete living in residence, etc.  See below for more information on which Non-Academic Misconduct (NAM) policies apply to each specific community.

The Student Code of Conduct applies to all students at Queen’s.  It outlines the activities and behaviours that could be considered Non-Academic Misconduct.  The Code also describes the NAM process and the sanctions that could be imposed on a student found responsible for a violation.
