UCSB Student Code of Conduct

By enrolling at UC Santa Barbara, you agreed to uphold all of the responsibilities within the UCSB Student Conduct Code. Each of us shares the responsibility of community standards. As an international student, it is important to recognize that failing to uphold the Student Conduct Code can have unintended, additional consequences that may impact your visa status. For example, dismissal or suspension can lead to your inability to maintain your enrollment at UCSB and thus your visa status. OISS asks you to pay close attention to the below information for these reasons.

The Student Conduct Process

The Office of Student Conduct at UCSB is responsible for adjudicating academic and behavioral violations of the Student Conduct Code. The Code exists to ensure the highest levels of academic and behavioral integrity in our campus community. It is your responsibility to know the Code, so that you can avoid violating it.

Be sure to visit the OISS page on Academic Integrity, which takes a deeper look into how you can uphold your academic integrity responsibilities during your time at UCSB.

If at any time you are charged with allegedly violating the Student Conduct Code, you will receive a notification from the Office of Student Conduct. To the right, we have provided a flowchart of the Student Conduct Process. This is so that you can better understand what to expect, your options, and possible outcomes, if you were to ever receive a notification from the Office of Student Conduct.
