Student Conduct & Community
Standards

OSCCS is the beginning point of all conduct and academic integrity complaints against students and student organizations and is an impartial resource for all parties in the complaint resolution process. 

Mission

The Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards (OSCCS) facilitates student growth and learning through an educational conduct process that upholds MIT’s values and community standards. 

How we fulfill our mission:
The OSCCS fulfills our mission by supporting students and collaborating with the Committee on Discipline and campus partners. We facilitate the MIT student conduct process, advise student judicial committees, and offer wide array of workshops and presentations to help students understand community values and standards.  We work to promote community standards of behavior and support the academic mission of the Institute by enhancing student’s academic achievement as well as personal and ethical development.

Commitment to Inclusive Practices
We are committed to carrying out our work in a manner that meets the needs of our diverse community. We do this by:

• Continually educating ourselves and our stakeholders,
• Intentionally engaging in inclusive practices,
• Striving to refine our procedures to reduce bias, and
• Appreciating students’ intersecting identities and acknowledging our own power and privilege.

We pledge to implement the above strategies. Furthermore, we understand that inclusive practices are always evolving, and thus commit to regularly revisiting these strategies.
