The Student Code of Conduct provides expectations of behavior for all University of Arizona students. Behavioral expectations support each student’s opportunity to learn and participate as members of the University of Arizona community.

UA Student Code of Conduct

Sanctions may be imposed for misconduct that occurs on university property or during any university-sponsored activity (including online classes). Certain off-campus conduct may also be subject to discipline. With respect to student organizations and their members, university jurisdiction extends to premises used, or controlled by, the organizations.

All students who are investigated for an alleged violation of the Student Code of Conduct are informed of the conduct complaint by letter sent to their University email address.

Code of Conduct violation can be reported online at https://arizona-advocate.symplicity.com/public_report/index.php/pid407746? or by contacting an appropriate Dean of Students Office staff member.

A staff member in the Dean of Students Office determines whether to dismiss the complaint or investigate the student based on available information. The staff member will give the student an opportunity to respond to the allegations before making a determination.
