governing conduct of individuals and student organizations. A booklet, Policies and Rules for Students, is published annually electronically and contains the University Code of Conduct, disciplinary procedures, and other policies relating to student activities. All students are responsible for the information contained in the Student Planner and the Student Guide to General University Policies and Rules.</p> <p><em>Statement Concerning the Release of Information from Student Records and Sexual Harassment.</em> Refer to the Student Guide to General University Policies and Rules above for the complete text of the University鈥檚 policy on confidentiality of student records.</p> <h2>Conduct of Students</h2> <p>The administration and faculty of Penn State New Kensington are proud of the fact that throughout the campus' long history, the conduct and deportment of the student body have always been outstanding. This is a record students are expected to maintain and improve. Whenever a student, group of students, society, fraternity, or other student organization fails to observe either the general standards of authorities or conducts himself, herself or itself in such a manner as to make it apparent that he, she, or it shall be liable to disciplinary action by the appropriate University authorities.</p> <p>The Office of Student Conduct serves as a valuable resource for the University community by promoting a safe living and learning environment. Penn State identifies unacceptable student behavior in a document called the <a href="https://studentaffairs.psu.edu/support-safety-conduct/student-conduct/code-conduct">Code of Conduct</a>. Students should familiarize themselves with the expectations of the Code of Conduct and allow it to serve as a guide through daily decision-making processes in and out of the classroom. if you know what is considered acceptable behavior, then you are taking the first step in making that a way of life. The judicial process begins when students don't uphold or ascribe to the ideals of the <a href="https://studentaffairs.psu.edu/support-safety-conduct/student-conduct/code-conduct">Code of Conduct</a>.</p> <p>We at Penn State Fayette fully embrace the <a href="https://www.psu.edu/this-is-penn-state/penn-state-principles">Penn State Principles</a> and provide additional information and resources of the campus community to as they integrate these ideals into their everyday lives.</p> <h2>Smoking</h2> <p>Smoking and the use of tobacco are prohibited in and on all University owned or leased properties, facilities, and vehicles. <a href="https://policy.psu.edu/policies/ad32">The policy</a> includes all University locations.
