Student Learning Outcomes

Student Affairs professionals have a particular responsibility for ensuring that our campus is a true learning community committed to providing "transformative" educational experiences for all students. The Clemson University Division of Student Affairs has adopted four student learning outcomes:

  • Self-Knowledge
  • Leadership and Communication
  • Social Responsibility
  • Life Skills Application

Each of the departments within the Division of Student Affairs has identified specific learning outcomes to address during the 2008-2009 academic year. The Office of Community and Ethical Standards supports the educational mission of the Division of Student Affairs.As it is written in the mission statement, "we challenge students to take responsibility as members of a diverse, global community." With that in mind the student learning outcomes for the Office of Community and Ethical Standards are:

Safe and Responsible Decision-Making

As a result of participating in OCES educational programs, students will be able to understand the core values and community standards, abide by and participate in the development, maintenance, and orderly change of community standards, demonstrate the ability to make informed decisions in the areas of safety, security, and health and treat others with respect as demonstrated by reduction in violations of the student code of conduct.

Global Interdependence and Citizenship

As a result of going through the discipline process, students will have a better understanding of the University's rules and expectations, the effect of their behaviors on others, practice effective conflict resolution, and demonstrate ethical development by complying with Clemson University's rules and regulations.

Leadership Development: Leadership and Communication

As a result of participating in OCES training, students serving on Judicial Boards or within the Community Education program will be able to articulate Clemson University's core values and community standards, enforce such standards and prepare students for the responsibilities of citizenship, and appropriately challenge the unfair, unjust, or uncivil behavior of other individuals or groups as demonstrated by receiving positive responses from students who appear before a student judicial board or participate in student-delivered programs.
