The Tianjin Juilliard School Student Code of Conduct

The Tianjin Juilliard School (the “School”) strives to create a safe, comfortable, and professional environment that is conducive to the educational and personal well-being of all students. It is expected that all members of the Tianjin Juilliard community, including School officials, employees, students, programs and organizations contribute to fostering such an environment. In doing so, it is important to always be aware of the rights and responsibilities held by each student.

Institutions of higher learning exist for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the personal development of students, and the general well-being of society. Free inquiry and free expression are indispensable to the attainment of these goals. As members of The Tianjin Juilliard School community, students are encouraged to develop the capacity for critical judgment and to engage in a sustained and independent search for truth.

All members of the Tianjin Juilliard community share the responsibility to respect general conditions conducive to the freedom to learn. Tianjin Juilliard is dedicated to maintaining an environment where all its members may live and work free from intolerance, disrespect, or harassment. Tianjin Juilliard upholds free expression and embraces the principles of civility and respectful discourse. Under the principles of civility, all community members are expected to behave reasonably, use speech responsibly, respect the rights of others, and behave in ways that do not disrupt the learning of others in the community. A creative, secure, and open community is only possible in the presence of civility. When students choose to enroll at Tianjin Juilliard, they accept the rights and responsibilities of membership in Tianjin Juilliard’s academic and social community. As community members, Tianjin Juilliard expects students to uphold its values by maintaining high standards of conduct. 

The rights and responsibilities of Tianjin Juilliard students are outlined in The Tianjin Juilliard School Student Code of Conduct, a contract between the School and the student. This contract supersedes all division handbooks and applies to all students enrolled at Tianjin Juilliard until their graduation, including during School breaks and leaves of absence. The Code of Conduct is reviewed and updated periodically at Tianjin Juilliard’s discretion. Juilliard believes that the procedures, rights, and safeguards outlined in the Code of Conduct are indispensable to achieving the goals desired: freedom to teach, learn, create, and engage in artistic and academic endeavors.

Student misconduct is defined as any student behavior that violates (i) Tianjin Juilliard rules, as stated in this document, contained within any School publication, either in print or in digital media, or (ii) state, local, federal laws and ordinances of the United States, and rules or regulations of the People’s Republic of China ("Applicable Laws"). Depending on the nature of the violation, Tianjin Juilliard reserves the right to notify law enforcement at its discretion. Occasionally, the rules of the School and the law will overlap. However, the School does not attempt to duplicate the law. Tianjin Juilliard reserves the right to pursue matters through its student conduct system that may also be addressed in the legal system.
