I. POLICY SUMMARY
The Policies Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations and Students are a
compendium of Universitywide policies relating to student life. Section 100.00 describes
the University’s policy on student conduct and discipline.
When a formal investigation is deemed appropriate for cases involving reports of Sexual
Violence, Sexual Harassment or other prohibited conduct by the UC Policy on Sexual
Violence and Sexual Harassment, campuses shall implement the procedures set forth
in PACAOS Appendix E: Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment Student Adjudication
Framework for Non-DOE-Covered Conduct or PACAOS Appendix F: Sexual Violence

harassment.
II. DEFINITIONS
Definitions for the Policies Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations and Students,
and the campus implementing regulations adopted pursuant to them, are provided in

III. POLICY TEXT
100.00 Policy On Student Conduct And Discipline
101.00 STUDENT CONDUCT
Students are members of both society and the University community, with attendant
rights and responsibilities. Students are expected to comply with all laws and with
University policies and campus regulations.
The standards of conduct apply to students as the term ‘student’ is defined in
Section 14.40 of these Policies. They also apply to:
a. applicants who become students, for offenses committed as part of the
application process;
b. applicants who become students, for offenses committed on campus and/or
while participating in University-related events or activities that take place
following a student’s submittal of the application through his or her official
enrollment; and
c. former students for offenses committed while a student.
If specified in implementing campus regulations, these standards of conduct may
apply to conduct that occurs off campus and that would violate student conduct and
discipline policies or regulations if the conduct occurred on campus.

When a formal investigation is deemed appropriate for cases involving reports of
Sexual Violence, Sexual Harassment or other prohibited conduct by the UC
Policy on Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment, campuses shall implement
the procedures set forth in PACAOS Appendix E: Sexual Violence and Sexual
Harassment Student Adjudication Framework for Non-DOE-Covered Conduct or
PACAOS Appendix F: Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment Student
Adjudication for DOE-Covered Conduct.
104.00 ADMINISTRATION OF STUDENT DISCIPLINE
104.10
Chancellors may impose discipline for violations of University policies or campus
regulations whether or not such violations are also violations of law, and whether
or not proceedings are or have been pending in the courts involving the same
acts.
104.20
Each Chancellor may appoint faculty, student, or other advisory committees, or
hearing officers, as specified in campus regulations, but the final authority for
administration of student discipline rests with the Chancellor.
104.30
A student, as defined in Section 14.40 of these Policies, at one campus of the
University, who is accused of violation of University policies or campus
regulations on another campus of the University or at an official function of that
campus, shall be subject to the disciplinary procedures of either the former or the
latter campus as an outcome of conferral between designees of both campuses.
The imposition of any recommendations for disciplinary sanctions arising from
these procedures must be reviewed and approved by both campuses before the
sanctions are imposed.
104.31
If an alleged violation of University policies occurs in connection with an official
Universitywide function not on a campus, the student accused of the violation
shall be subject to the disciplinary procedures of the campus at which the
individual is a student, except in those cases in which the President directs
otherwise.
104.40
The loss of University employment shall not be a form of discipline under these
Policies. However, when student status is a condition of employment, the loss of
student status will result in termination of the student’s employment. This section
is not intended to preclude the disclosure to other appropriate University officials
of information relating to any student’s judicial records if that information may be
reasonably construed to have bearing on the student’s suitability for a specific
University of California – Policy PACAOS-100
Policies Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations and Students (PACAOS)
9 of 14
employment situation. This section is also not intended to preclude an employer
from terminating a student’s employment outside the disciplinary process.
104.50
In imposing discipline other than Suspension or Dismissal, access to housing and
health services shall not be restricted unless the act that occasioned the
discipline is appropriately related to the restriction.
104.60
If as a result of an official campus appeal it is determined that the student was
improperly disciplined, the Chancellor shall, if requested by the student, have the
record of the hearing sealed, and have any reference to the disciplinary process
removed from the student’s record. In such case, the record of the hearing may
be used only in connection with legal proceedings. The Chancellor also may take
other reasonable actions to ensure that the status of the student’s relationship to
the University shall not be adversely affected.
104.70 [Rescinded – January 1, 2015]
104.71 [Rescinded October 13, 2005]
104.80
Whether or not a hearing is conducted, campuses may provide written notice to a
student that his or her alleged behavior may have violated University policy or
campus regulations and that, if repeated, such behavior will be subject to the
disciplinary process. Evidence of the prior alleged behavior as detailed in the
written notice may be introduced in a subsequent disciplinary action in order to
enhance the penalty.
104.81
Campuses may set forth in campus implementing regulations, policies for placing
holds on requests for transcripts, diplomas, or other student records. Such holds
may be placed when a student fails to respond to a campuses’ written notice of
charges or to prevent a student from transferring or having their degree conferred
until all allegations against a student or any assigned sanctions and student
disciplinary conditions have been fully resolved. Such campus implementing
regulations will include processes for notifying the student of the hold, the
conditions in which a hold will be removed, and the process for allowing the
student to request the removal of the hold.
104.90
Sanctions [for any violations of Section 102.00, Grounds for Discipline] may be
enhanced where an individual was selected because of the individual’s race,
color, national or ethnic origin, citizenship, sex, religion, age, sexual orientation,
gender identity, pregnancy, marital status, ancestry, service in the uniformed
services, physical or mental disability, medical condition, or perceived
membership in any of these classifications.

105.00 TYPES OF STUDENT DISCIPLINARY ACTION
When a student is found in violation of University policies or campus regulations, any
of the following types of student disciplinary action may be imposed. Any sanction
imposed should be appropriate to the violation, taking into consideration the context
and seriousness of the violation.
105.01 Warning/Censure:
Written notice or reprimand to the student that a violation of specified University
policies or campus regulations has occurred and that continued or repeated
violations of University policies or campus regulations may be cause for further
disciplinary action, normally in the form of Disciplinary Probation, and/or Loss of
Privileges and Exclusion from Activities, Suspension, or Dismissal.
105.02 [Rescinded May 17, 2002]
105.03 Disciplinary Probation:
A status imposed for a specified period of time during which a student must
demonstrate conduct that conforms to University standards of conduct.
Conditions restricting the student’s privileges or eligibility for activities may be
imposed. Misconduct during the probationary period or violation of any conditions
of the probation may result in further disciplinary action, normally in the form of
Suspension or Dismissal.
105.04 Loss of Privileges and Exclusion from Activities:
Exclusion from participation in designated privileges and activities for a specified
period of time. Violation of any conditions in the written Notice of Loss of
Privileges and Exclusion from Activities, or violation of University policies or
campus regulations during the period of the sanction may be cause for further
disciplinary action, normally in the form of Probation, Suspension or Dismissal.
105.05 Suspension:
Termination of student status for a specified period of time with reinstatement
thereafter certain, provided that the student has complied with all conditions
imposed as part of the suspension and provided that the student is otherwise
qualified for reinstatement. Violation of the conditions of Suspension or of
University policies or campus regulations during the period of Suspension may
be cause for further disciplinary action, normally in the form of Dismissal.
A student may not transfer or register for courses at another campus or location
of the University of California during the period of Suspension.
105.06 Dismissal:
Termination of student status for an indefinite period. Readmission to the
University shall require the specific approval of the Chancellor of the campus to
which a dismissed student has applied. Readmission after dismissal may be
granted only under exceptional circumstances.
University of California – Policy PACAOS-100
Policies Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations and Students (PACAOS)
11 of 14
105.07 Exclusion from Areas of the Campus or from Official University
Functions:
Exclusion of a student as part of a disciplinary sanction from specified areas of
the campus or other University-owned, -operated, or -leased facilities, or other
facilities located on University property, or from official University functions, when
there is reasonable cause for the University to believe that the student’s
presence there will lead to physical abuse, threats of violence, or conduct that
threatens the health or safety of any person on University property or at official
University functions, or other disruptive activity incompatible with the orderly
operation of the campus.
105.08 Interim Suspension:
Exclusion from classes, or from other specified activities or areas of the campus,
as set forth in the Notice of Interim Suspension, before final determination of an
alleged violation. A student shall be restricted only to the minimum extent
necessary when there is reasonable cause to believe that the student’s
participation in University activities or presence at specified areas of the campus
will lead to physical abuse, threats of violence, or conduct that threatens the
health or safety of any person on University property or at official University
functions, or other disruptive activity incompatible with the orderly operation of
the campus. A student placed on Interim Suspension shall be given prompt
notice of the charges, the duration of the Interim Suspension, and the opportunity
for a prompt hearing on the Interim Suspension. Interim Suspension shall be
reviewed by the Chancellor within twenty-four hours. If a student is found to have
been unjustifiably placed on Interim Suspension, the University is committed to a
policy whereby reasonable efforts are taken to assist an individual who has been
disadvantaged with respect to employment or academic status.
105.09 Restitution:
A requirement for restitution in the form of reimbursement may be imposed for
expenses incurred by the University or other parties resulting from a violation of
these policies. Such reimbursement may take the form of monetary payment or
appropriate service to repair or otherwise compensate for damages. Restitution
may be imposed on any student who alone, or through group or concerted
activities, participates in causing the damages or costs.
105.10 Revocation of Awarding of Degree:
Subject to the concurrence of the Academic Senate, revocation of a degree
obtained by fraud. Such revocation is subject to review on appeal by the
Chancellor.
105.11 Other:
Other disciplinary actions, such as monetary fines, community service, or holds
on requests for transcripts, diplomas, or other student records to be sent to third
parties, as set forth in campus regulations.
University of California – Policy PACAOS-100
Policies Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations and Students (PACAOS)
12 of 14
106.00 POSTING SUSPENSION OR DISMISSAL ON ACADEMIC
TRANSCRIPTS
When, as a result of violations of the Policy on Student Conduct and Discipline, a
student is suspended or dismissed, a notation that the discipline was imposed must
be posted on the academic transcript for the duration of the suspension or dismissal.
Thereafter, notations of Suspension or Dismissal reflected on a student’s transcript
may be removed as set forth in campus regulations.
IV. COMPLIANCE/RESPONSIBILITIES
Chancellors shall adopt campus implementing regulations consistent with these
Policies. The University shall publish these Policies and make them widely available,
and Chancellors shall do the same with respect to the implementing regulations for their
campuses. This requirement may be satisfied through the on-line publication of these
Policies and their respective campus implementing regulations. (See also Section 13.20
of these Policies.)
V. PROCEDURES
The President shall consult as appropriate with Chancellors, Vice Presidents, the Office
of the General Counsel, and Universitywide advisory committees prior to amending
these Policies. Chancellors shall consult with faculty, students, and staff prior to
submitting to the President any campus recommendations related to proposed
amendments to these Policies. Amendments that are specifically mandated by law,
however, do not require consultation with campus representatives or Universitywide
advisory committees to the extent that legal requirements do not permit such
consultation. (See also Section 13.10 of these Policies.)
Chancellors shall consult with students (including student governments), faculty, and
staff in the development or revision of campus implementing regulations except when
the development or revision of such regulations results from changes to these Policies
that have been specifically mandated by law. Campuses shall specify procedures,
including consultation processes, by which campus implementing regulations may be
developed or revised. (See also Section 13.30 of these Policies.)
Prior to their adoption, all proposed campus implementing regulations, including all
substantive modifications to existing such regulations, shall be submitted to the Office of
the President for review, in consultation with the Office of the General Counsel, for
consistency with these Policies and the law. (See also Section 13.40 of these Policies.)
