Student Conduct
There's no principal's office at W&M.
We have a unique set of values here at the College and our Student Conduct and Honor programs are responsible for upholding those values. It's tempting to label us William & Mary's "principal's office," but it's really not like that at all. These programs aren't in place for us to keeps tabs on students. That would be impossible because our community is too large for that to be feasible, but it would also be unfair because you are essentially an independent adult now.
Think of the Student Conduct and Honor programs not as a particular office, but as something more all-encompassing. There's no single "principal," you are all principals--for yourselves and each other. Every student on campus is responsible for knowing and upholding the William & Mary standard. It's as simple as that.
The Codes provide not only your duties as members of the community, but also your rights--rights to live independently and safely, and rights to be judged on a leval playing field on the basis of your own merits.
Please refer to the Student Handbook for a complete explanation of the Conduct and Honor processes. Also check out the flow charts that depict how the Conduct (PDF) and Honor (PDF) processes work.
If you're here because you suspect any student misconduct, you may submit this violation report to the Dean of Students Office.
