Student Conduct

The Langston University conduct system encourages students to assess how their attitudes, actions and behaviors impact the university community. Students are expected to obey the laws of the state of Oklahoma and the policies implemented by Langston University. These policies and procedures are designed for students to maintain a high level of respect for self, others and the institution. As members of the Langston University community, students willfully consent to following policies and procedures as outlined in the Student Handbook while retaining certain rights. Through educational and/or punitive sanctioning, students are challenged and supported to become positive contributors to the university as well as the local and global communities. The Dean of Students, select student leaders, judicial hearing bodies, and the Vice President for Student Affairs jointly administer the Langston University conduct system. For more information, please consult the Student Handbook.

Lion Camp – New Student Orientation

Lion Camp is a time for new Langston students to come to campus, meet fellow Lions and begin their academic and co-curricular experience. The purpose of Lion Camp is to make your transition to college life as smooth and enjoyable as possible, while integrating you and your family into the Langston University community.

Lion Camp serves three main goals:
1. To welcome students to Langston University and engage them in the history, traditions and values of our community.
2. To introduce students to rigorous academic habits and the opportunities, responsibilities and resources available to encourage success.
3. To assist students in connecting with peers, university officials and the local community.

2. Provide opportunities for networking and relationship-building with other Langston families.
3. Enhance communication between the faculty, staff, students, and families.
4. Increase involvement of families in the Langston community.

Parent and Family programs help parents and family members of current students become active members of a lively and engaged community. Don’t miss the opportunity to share in the Lion experience!
