UNIVERSITY POLICIES

Additionally, all students are required to follow Penn policies at all times, both on and off campus. In particular, when attending GAPSA or other student group events, the following policies must be followed:

• The Code of Student Conduct

• The Alcohol and Other Drug Policy

• The Sexual Misconduct Policy

Students who witness any violation of University policy may report the incident to the Office of Student Conduct, or the Office of the Associate Vice President and Title IX Officer for concerns related to violations of the University’s Sexual Misconduct Policy. In addition to these formal reporting options, the Office of Student Conduct's Restorative Practices@Penn Program is an avenue for resolving conflicts and addressing harm.
