As members of the Illinois Tech community, all students, groups of students, and student organizations are expected to exemplify principles and values, to engage in socially responsible behavior, and to model exceptional conduct, character, and citizenship on campus and beyond.
Upon learning of conduct or behavior that may not meet the standards set forth in this Student Handbook or in Illinois Tech bulletins, published or posted policies, publications and announcements and other materials that may be distributed to students from time to time, students are expected to take an active role in upholding our community’s principles and values.
Academic advisors assist students in pursuing academic programs of study so that all requirements may be successfully met and will provide counsel as requested in academic and other matters. It is, however, the individual student who has final responsibility for fulfilling the requirements of the program leading to the degree being sought and for abiding by all Illinois Tech policies, procedures, rules and regulations.
