As future health care professionals and health science researchers, UCSF students are held to high standards of behavior, particularly in matters of ethics, judgment, and professionalism. As such, student conduct is considered a part of a student’s academic performance.</p> <p>UCSF’s <a href="https://diversity.ucsf.edu/about/principles-of-community" target="_blank">Principles of Community</a> and <a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/about/mission-and-values" target="_blank">PRIDE Values</a> illustrate the expectations for all members of our community as we work together to fulfill UCSF’s mission. Students are expected to act consistently with the values of the University community and to follow University policies and implementing regulations.</p> <p>The <a href="https://studentlife.ucsf.edu/student-conduct-and-discipline" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" target="_blank">UCSF Policy on Student Conduct and Discipline</a> describes the procedures for addressing alleged violations of non-academic/non-professionalism misconduct. The policy establishes standards for student behavior, clarifies the university’s response to alleged violations, and safeguards students’ rights throughout the process. It is expected that all students understand and comply with this policy throughout their tenure at UCSF.</p> <p>The office responsible for administering this policy is Student Rights and Responsibilities. To report alleged violations of the UCSF Policy on Student Conduct and Discipline, individuals can email <a href="mailto:studentconduct@ucsf.edu" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">studentconduct@ucsf.edu</a>, providing the details of the alleged violation.</p> <h3>Useful Links:</h3> <p><a href="https://studentlife.ucsf.edu/policies" target="_blank">Student Life: Policies</a><br/> <a href="https://studentlife.ucsf.edu/student-conduct-and-discipline" target="_blank">UCSF Policy on Student Conduct and Discipline</a><br/> <a href="https://policy.ucop.edu/doc/2710530/PACAOS-100" target="_blank">UC Policies Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations, and Students (PACAOS)</a></p> <h2>Additional Information</h2> <p><strong>Contact for questions and additional info:</strong></p> <p>Becca Wallace, Director of Student Rights and Responsibilities (<a href="mailto:becca.wallace@ucsf.edu">becca.wallace@ucsf.edu</a>)</p></div> </main> </div>  <div id="col-nav"> <aside id="sidebar"> <div class="sidebar-item"> <h2 id="edition" class="sidebar-header"><a href="/">2024-2025 Edition</a></h2> <nav id="cl-menu" aria-label="Primary"> <ul class="nav levelzero" id="/"> <li><a href="/welcome/">Welcome from the Chancellor</a></li> <li class="isparent"><a href="/schools/">Schools and Programs</a></li> <li class="isparent"><a href="/programs/">Academic Programs</a></li> <li class="isparent"><a href="/residency-fellowship/">Residency and Fellowship Programs</a></li> <li class="active isparent"><a href="/university/">University Support Offices</a> <ul class="nav levelone" id="/university/"> <li><a href="/university/basic-needs/">Basic Needs for Students</a></li> <li><a href="/university/campus-life-services/">Campus Life Services</a></li> <li><a href="/university/first-generation-support-services/">First Generation Support Services</a></li> <li><a href="/university/graduate-professional-student-association/">Graduate and Professional Student Association</a></li> <li><a href="/university/guardian-scholars-program/">Guardian Scholars Program</a></li> <li><a href="/university/housing/">Housing Services</a></li> <li><a href="/university/initiative-maximize-student-development/">Initiative to Maximize Student Development </a></li> <li><a href="/university/international-students-scholars-office/">International Students and Scholars Office</a></li> <li><a href="/university/learning-resource-services/">Learning Resource Services</a></li> <li><a href="/university/library/">Library</a></li> <li><a href="/university/office-postdoctoral-scholars/">Office for Postdoctoral Scholars</a></li> <li><a href="/university/office-career-professional-development/">Office of Career and Professional Development</a></li> <li><a href="/university/office-diversity-outreach/">Office of Diversity and Outreach</a></li> <li><a href="/university/office-institutional-research/">Office of Institutional Research</a></li> <li><a href="/university/office-registrar/">Office of the Registrar</a></li> <li><a href="/university/registered-campus-organizations/">Registered Campus Organizations</a></li> <li><a href="/university/restorative-justice-practices/">Restorative Justice Practices</a></li> <li><a href="/university/safety-services/">Safety Services</a></li> <li><a href="/university/student-disability-services/">Student Disability Services</a></li> <li><a href="/university/student-financial-services/">Student Financial Services</a></li> <li><a href="/university/student-life/">Student Life</a></li> <li><a href="/university/student-health-counseling/">Student Mental Health and Wellbeing Services</a></li> <li class="active self"><a href="#" onclick="return false;">Student Rights and Responsibilities</a></li> <li><a href="/university/student-veteran-military-support-services/">Student Veteran and Military Support Services</a></li> <li><a href="/university/summer-research-training-program/">Summer Research Training Program</a></li> <li><a href="/university/synapse-ucsf-student-voices/">Synapse: UCSF Student Voices</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="/academic-administrative-calendar/">Academic and Administrative Calendar</a></li> <li><a href="/accreditation/">Accreditation</a></li> <li class="isparent"><a href="/course-catalog/">Course Catalog</a></li> <li class="isparent"><a href="/course-search/">Search Courses</a></li> <li><a href="/catalogcontents/">Catalog Contents</a></li> <li><a href="/azindex/">Catalog A-Z Index</a></li> </ul> </nav> </div> <div class="sidebar-item"> <button id="print-btn" href="#print-dialog" onclick="showPrintDialog();
