The standards of behavior under the Student Rights and Responsibilities Code are higher then those imposed by civil and criminal law. Students must observe the following principles and expectations:

- Western students observe the highest standards of academic integrity in the ethical pursuit of truth and learning;
- Western students are respectful of the rights, welfare, and property of others;
- Western students strive to be involved and productive citizens in diverse, pluralistic, and democratic society;
- Western students can exercise their state and federal constitutional rights to free speech, petition, and assembly in means that do not disrupt the university’s functions or interfere with the rights and well-being of others.
Students must comply with policies and regulations that may impact the educational, administrative or university-sponsored programs or functions. The University may initiate disciplinary action against any student who has committed inappropriate conduct on campus or otherwise under the jurisdiction of the Code (Student Rights and Responsibilities Code). To read the entire Student Rights and Responsibilities Code, Washington Administrative Code (WAC 516-23), please select the “Student Rights & Responsibilities Code” link to the left of this page.
In its ongoing effort to serve the campus, UJA has created this web site to provide the University community with a convenient method of accessing information related to student conduct at Western. To explore our website, please select any of the links to the left of this page.
