University Student Conduct System

The Community Standards and Student Conduct System pertain to all part-time and full-time students; graduate and undergraduate; matriculating and non-matriculating; to newly admitted students; and to students participating in exchange programs or cooperative programs on all University of Rhode Island campuses.

While these standards pertain primarily to student actions and behavior occurring on the University campus, it should be noted that the University has the same high expectations of students’ off campus activity. Off-campus conduct may also be subject to University jurisdiction.
