Campus Regulations

End of Navigation

Campus Regulations address the rights and responsibilities of members of the University and provide campuswide standards for implementing regulations as a means of sustaining this community. Each member of the campus shares the responsibility of maintaining this unique community so that the University's mission of teaching, research, and public service can be achieved.

There are a growing number of violations of Campus Regulations that are "non-academic". These include offenses which are also usually criminal. Things like destruction of property; theft; possession of weapons and drugs on campus; arson; burglary; misuse of University documents, keys, parking permits, or computers; threats of violence; and even sexual assault. Committing any one of these violations can get you kicked out of school as well as cause criminal charges to be filed against you.

If you do something that is deemed an immediate threat to the safety of the community, you can be suspended immediately pending formal charges. In addition, everyone who goes before the Conduct Committee and is found guilty will have a "University Conduct Record"--the consequences of which could affect your future in drastic ways.

Campus Regulations now apply to the off-campus residence halls (Tropicana and Fontainebleu) and some of the regulations (sexual assault, sexual harassment, stalking and hazing) apply to UCSB students anywhere they may happen to be when they commit these offenses.

The complete text of Campus Regulations can be found at www.sa.ucsb.edu/regulations or a copy can be obtained from the Office of Student Life, Associated Students, Graduate Division, Graduate Students Association, or the Office of the Vice Chancellor, Student Affairs. The web site contains information on regulations and policies in the following areas: academic and non-academic student conduct; campus organizations; campus activities; university facilities; student government; student elections; disciplinary bodies and procedures; violations and sanctions; student rights; and student grievance procedures.
