GBC Student Conduct

The Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) and Great Basin College (GBC) encourages all students to pursue academic studies and other college sponsored activities that promote intellectual growth and personal development. Students are responsible for complying with NSHE and college guidelines and meeting the appropriate college requirements. In joining the academic community, the student enjoys the right of freedom to learn and shares responsibility in exercising that freedom. A student is expected to conduct him or herself in accordance with college standards.

When a complaint or charge of student misconduct is brought forth, it shall be processed in accordance with the policies and procedures prescribed in the NSHE Board of Regents Code Title 2, Chapter 10, which can be found in the current version of the GBC Course Catalog. The complete document may be found in the annual Great Basin College Catalog(s) and at the GBC website, www.gbcnv.edu. For purposes of this document, the term “student” means any person who is or was enrolled in courses, either full-time or part-time, including correspondence study, electronic means, Study Abroad, or auditing, or courses offered through any institution satellite campuses or auxiliary means.
