Standards of Conduct

Students enrolling in JJHI assume an obligation to conduct themselves in a manner compatible with JJHI’s function as an educational institution. To fulfill its functions of imparting and gaining knowledge, JJHI retains the power to maintain order within the school and to exclude those who are disruptive of the educational process.

Generally, prohibited conduct for which a student is subject to disciplinary action defined as follows:

  • Physical or sexual assault of any person on JJHI’s campus, or conduct which threatens the health or safety of any such person or the physical or sexual assault of any JJHI student, faculty member or employee.
  • Substantial damage to JJHI-owned or leased property or to property of a JJHI student, employee, faculty member or visitor occurring on JJHI-owned or leased property or at the residence of any student, faculty member or employee or unauthorized entry into or occupation of JJHI’s facilities, which are locked, closed to student activities, or otherwise restricted as to use.
  • Any activity that may be construed as hazing (“hazing” is defined as: any action or situation which recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with any organization operating under the sanction of JJHI).
  • Use of alcohol or illicit drugs while on campus or at an externship site. Students at JJHI are training for careers that involve direct interaction with patients, and individuals. Performing clinical activities under the influence of drugs or alcohol undermines patient safety and is considered a crime. Persons who engage in such actions while enrolled at JJHI will be reported to the local authorities for criminal actions. Drug testing may be asked of students who display behaviors consistent with drug abuse.

Grievance Procedures

A student, staff or faculty member with a grievance should make an effort to resolve the grievance with the individual against whom the grievance is lodged; grievances will also be reviewed with careful consideration by the Director of the Institute. If matter cannot be resolved an appointment may be made with the Director of the Institute. If both parties are unable to rectify the dispute or a result of the discussion does not produce a fair resolution, the next step would be to notify:
