Western Washington University students enjoy the basic rights of all members
of society. At the same time, students have an obligation to fulfill the responsibilities
incumbent upon all citizens, as well as the responsibilities of their particular
roles within the academic community. The student is expected to abide by University
policies and regulations, as well as all applicable federal, state, and local
laws. Those who are charged with a violation are assured a fair judicial process
and, if found in violation, appropriate disciplinary action.
The judicial system at Western Washington University is a process within the
University that facilitates student developmental growth while maintaining
the standards of the University to insure academic integrity, campus-wide
safety, and adherence to the University mission. The student judicial process
is intended to provide positive and educational experience paired with fair
and well-considered sanctions for misconduct.
