Missouri S&T strives to provide an environment that develops and inspires creative thinkers and leaders for lifelong success. All members of the campus community share the responsibility to create general conditions conducive to learning.

Missouri S&T embraces diversity and provides a unique academic and social environment where students enjoy the right to learn in a setting that is free from discrimination, both within and outside of the classroom. Students who have a concern about a possible violation of their rights, may seek assistance from one of the following resources: the Institutional Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Office for Title IX other forms of discrimination, the Dean of Students Office for concerns related to community standards, or the Academic Deans’ offices for concerns related to faculty or academic matters. 

We strive to sustain a safe and healthy campus community of engaged students. A student at the University assumes an obligation to behave in a manner compatible with the University's function as an educational institution and voluntarily enters into a community of high achieving scholars. A student organization recognized by the University of Missouri also assumes an obligation to behave in a manner compatible with the University's function as an educational institution. Consequently, students must adhere to community standards in accordance with the University’s mission and expectations as outlined in the University of Missouri Standard of Conduct. These expectations have been established in order to protect a specialized environment conducive to learning which fosters integrity, academic success, personal and professional growth, and responsible citizenship.
