Student Code of Conduct
The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) has developed its policy regarding student conduct and discipline in accordance with The University of Texas System (UT System) Regents Rules and model policy. Each student and student organization is charged with notice, knowledge of, and compliance with the contents and provisions within the Student Code of Conduct. Reporting to the Dean of Students, the Office of Community Standards and Conduct seeks to support the mission of The University of Texas at Dallas by promoting integrity, civility, and community on campus.
Recognizing that students make mistakes, our offices strive to help them acknowledge their personal responsibilities as members of the University community through fairly and consistently upholding the Student Code of Conduct. By doing so, we help bring student actions into congruence with the expectations set forth by the University while challenging them to demonstrate ethical decision-making and personal integrity. Procedures are defined and described in the Student Code of Conduct, UTDSP5003. Copies of these rules and regulations are available to students in the Office of Community Standards and Conduct, where staff are available to assist students in interpreting the rules and regulations (SSB 4.400, 972-883-6391).
