The Office of Student Conduct adjudicates academic and behavioral violations of the Student Conduct Code. We demand the highest academic and behavioral integrity and ensure community by repairing violations of trust through restorative practices and administrative resolution. Above all, we value humanity and honor identity throughout all of our processes.
The UCSB Student Conduct Code exists to support the standards of social and academic behavior to uphold an environment conducive to student learning. As Student Affairs professionals, we strive to embody the UC Santa Barbara Campus Regulations and the Student Affairs mission in what we promote to our students.
