Academic Policies

Policies relating to the classroom are found in MSOE's academic undergraduate and graduate catalogs. You can also find information and policies about disability services at the SAS website.

Behavior Policies

The Student Code of Conduct specifies the minimum level of conduct expected of every MSOE student. Furthermore, MSOE does not tolerate hazing.  See our Hazing policy, based on the laws set by the State of Wisconsin stated in section 948.51 Wisconsin Hazing Laws.  (Wisconsin State statute 948.51) 

Review our Emergency Administrative Action policy to see what actions the university can take toward students who put the MSOE community at risk.

Residence Life Policies

The Residence Life Handbook covers policies related to life in MSOE's residence halls.

Substances Policies

MSOE strives to provide a safe and healthy campus environment for all employees, students and visitors. Review our Smoking policy.

The University reserves the right to notify parents/guardians of students who are found to be in violation of institutional policies and/or state statutes regarding underage possession or consumption of drugs or alcoholic beverages. See MSOE's policy regarding the use and consumption of alcoholic beverages by students and student groups. The Residence Life Handbook also includes policies on alcohol consumption in the residence halls.

Complaint Policy

MSOE seeks to respond to, and to resolve in a timely manner, all complaints by currently enrolled students. A complaint is a written expression of dissatisfaction or formal allegation against the university, its units, its employees (including faculty and staff), and/or its students.  For all campus complaints (academic and non-academic) that the student cannot resolve informally with the parties involved, the student should follow the Student Complaint Process. The process includes the instructions, timelines, and official complaint form. Title IX-Sexual Misconduct complaints have their own process and is excluded from the procedure above.

Harassment Policy

MSOE intends to provide an environment free from all forms of harassment or intimidation based on age, race, gender, creed, color, disability, marital status, veteran’s status, national origin, ancestry or sexual orientation.  See our Harassment policy.

Information Technology Policy

This policy provides users with clear guidance on the appropriate, safe, and legal way in which they can make use of information and IT equipment at MSOE. Users need to be aware of the compliance required with this policy and MSOE’s commitment to comply with requirements that all reasonable organizational and technical measures are taken to safeguard its data. What does the policy cover? Take a look at the Acceptable Use policy and Campus ID Card policy.

Religious Activities

MSOE encourages spiritual exploration and moral and ethical formation as desirable components of students’ personal growth and development. On the other hand, the university asserts every individual’s right to make spiritual choices freely, and to form religious associations without coercion or constraint. See our on-campus Religious Activities policy.

Fundraising for Student Groups

MSOE’s over 100 student groups may, upon formal approval, initiate and/or conduct fundraising activities. Check out the fundraising policy, which 1) defines the circumstances under which such activities may be undertaken and 2) provides information regarding how such activities must be conducted and administered.

Space and Room Reservation Policy

Groups and organizations at MSOE may have use of campus facilities at no charge, subject to available space. Check out our Room Reservations and Scheduling Software policy.

Student Travel Policy

In order to protect the safety and well being of the institution and its members, in an effort to align with the university’s overall mission, MSOE has adopted the following travel policy. View the MSOE Student Travel Policy.
