Office of Accountability & Student Conduct

The Office of Accountability & Student Conduct (OASC) at Northwestern State University of Louisiana parallels the institution’s mission, to be responsive, student-oriented, and committed to student development through learning and service. Furthermore, OASC is committed to upholding the Northwestern State University Student Code of Conduct.

The Student Code of Conduct is established to help maintain an environment conducive to learning and other educational pursuits. The Code is intended to ensure students’ enjoyment of all proper rights and protect the University’s mission, processes, resources, and constituent community.  Students, faculty, staff, and visitors to campus are expected to follow the Student Code of Conduct and federal and state laws.  All members of the Northwestern State University are expected to behave in a manner conducive to the university mission; therefore, civility in the University is expected.

The Conduct Officer or a designated representative administers the disciplinary process governing students and visitors at Northwestern State University. After a series of conferences and hearings, conduct matters may be referred to a student/faculty/staff committee appointed by the President. Specific disciplinary due process procedures and student conduct regulations are followed for all conferences and hearings.
