The Social System

The Social System was developed in 1994 as an outgrowth of the Honor System and in keeping with the philosophy that students should assume a significant role in shaping their lives at Lyon. The system establishes a code of conduct by which Lyon students agree to abide in their interactions with other members of the Lyon community.

The Social System is administered by students elected by their peers to the Social Council. The Council's responsibility is to uphold the College's Social System and to uphold the rights of each student during investigations and hearings. The Council investigates allegations, conducts hearings when necessary, and may impose penalties up to and including expulsion.  A copy of the Honor and Social Codes can be found in the Lyon College Student Handbook.

All students are encouraged and expected to actively participate in the social system.  As such, violations of the community standards established to guide student behavior outside of the classroom should be reported by the student who violates the policy or witnesses the violation.  Violations can be reported by completing an incident report form and returning it to the Social Council president or the Director of Campus Life.  Incident report forms are available from your RA, RD, or by cliking here.
