► Mission Statement
The Dean of Students(DOS) serves as a critical support structure dedicated to the
intellectual, creative, personal, and social development of FIT students. Through
thoughtful and intentional planning, the Dean of Students fosters academic and social
partnerships within the FIT community, leading the way towards enriching the overall
student experience and striving for FIT student success.
► Community Standards
Creating an empowering and safe space for members of the campus community is an essential
tenet of the Dean of Students. To that end the FIT Code of Student Conduct serves as a guide for an established set of expectations and community standards.
All students are expected to read and adhere to the Code of Student Conduct. The Dean
of Students Office ensures that this policy is appropriately implemented, and will
oversee the adjudication of any conduct code violations should they occur. The Student
Conduct process is restorative in nature, and depending on the severity of the violation,
most violations are often handled by educating students on ways to resolve conflict
and negative behavior.
