Good Neighbor Policy

Living off-campus is a maturing experience and does not negate your responsibility as a member of the JWU community to abide by the  Student Code of Conduct which can be found in the Student Handbook. As a JWU student living in the community, your conduct reflects directly upon the university. 

It is a privilege to be part of the JWU community, and we all need to honor that privilege through our actions. Our expectation is that students are upholding the values of The Wildcat Way, on and off campus.  

As a student living off campus, you must understand and appreciate that residents of a particular community have made a long-term commitment to their neighborhood. Students who transition from residential living to off-campus living are temporary members of the community, for the duration of their academic tenure.  All students living off-campus should be familiar with city ordinances and other laws.

JWU’s expectation is that students maintain respectful relations with the community in which they have chosen to reside. Important areas of concern include, but are not limited to: noise, automobiles, property, and alcohol consumption.  

Johnson & Wales University Campus Safety & Security may respond to complaints from neighbors and others when behavior occurs off-campus that is inconsistent with the behavioral expectations of the university. Students will be subject to the university’s Conduct Review Process and resulting sanctions when a violation of the Student Code of Conduct occurs. The university may find student tenants of an off-campus residence responsible for a violation of the Good Neighbor Policy that occurs at their address.
