Good Neighbor Policy

Students are expected to conduct themselves as mature and responsible members of the campus, local, and any community in which the student resides while a student at Saint Mary’s College of California. This policy also applies to students studying abroad, either in a program sponsored by Saint Mary’s College of California, or otherwise.  As such, students are responsible for upholding all federal, state and local laws and ordinances, including those related to noise, parties, traffic, parking, zoning and consumption of alcohol.  In addition, as responsible members of society, students are expected to foster an atmosphere that nurtures positive educational pursuits, the development of understanding and tolerance of those with different cultural and political points of view and an environment that encourages responsible behavior in the community.
