Toronto Met’s Student Code of Non-Academic Conduct is the university’s policy that outlines what is considered non-academic misconduct. Non-academic offences includes behaviours that are threatening, intimidating or abusive; the theft, destruction or damage to property; or disruption to the learning and teaching environment. The Academic Code of Conduct - what is commonly referred to as Policy 60 - deals exclusively with academic integrity and conduct that includes plagiarism, cheating, submission of false information.
Students who live in a Toronto Met residence (such as Pitman Hall or the ILLC) are also expected to abide by the clear expectations of acceptable behaviour as a member of a residence community; these expectations are written in Housing and Residence Life’s Community Standards.
Any Toronto Met student, faculty or staff can lodge a complaint against a Toronto Met student under the Student Code of Non-Academic Conduct.

The Student Conduct Officer will hold separate meetings for the person making the complaint and the student accused. A student is entitled to bring a representative to the meeting. The representative can provide personal support but cannot act as an advocate for the student. The Student Conduct Officer may invite other staff with relevant knowledge to a meeting (e.g. Human Rights Services or Security).
