The Tisch School of the Arts has established a code of conduct to which all members of the community are expected to adhere. It is a simple statement of the contract within which we all work.
Tisch is a place for serious professional and academic training, a place in which mature, focused, and considerate individuals are valued as members of a dynamic community. Work in the arts is highly collaborative, and students are expected to treat each other with respect and to work together as professionals. These high standards of citizenship apply not only to classroom behavior but to all aspects of life.
Tisch students are fortunate to work in and with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment that must be treated with respect, knowledge, and care. Students will be held accountable for their behavior in the NYU community, including the residence halls, studios, labs, and soundstages, and at extracurricular workshops, internships, panels, and social situations. Cheating, plagiarizing, lying, stealing, prejudice, physical, verbal, and sexual harassment are not tolerated. Any student who does not adhere to community standards in an academic or social sense or who does not behave professionally may be asked to leave the school.
Experience has taught us that it is not possible for students to take full advantage of what is offered at Tisch if they are involved with drugs or alcohol. The use of drugs or alcohol is strictly prohibited. Students will be held accountable for their behavior as described in the Tisch Policies and Procedures Guide and the NYU Student Handbook. Refer to them for the details of the Code of Conduct and Rules of Governance.
