Community at UC San Diego

Principles of Community

The UC San Diego community includes students, staff, and faculty who have a vested interest in the university. Members of our community pride themselves on academic, personal, and professional excellence and value integrity, accountability, and respect. The Student Conduct Code underscores the pride and values that define our community while providing UC San Diego students with a framework to guide their actions and behaviors.

The code sets forth applicable standards of our community and authorizes the administration of student conduct at UC San Diego. All participants involved with the student conduct process are encouraged to reflect upon their roles in the community and seek out opportunities for personal growth and development. It is our aspiration that students involved in this process will strengthen their competencies in communication, relationships, leadership, critical thinking, and active citizenship. UC San Diego’s Principles of Community further illustrate expectations of all members of our community. In accordance with these principles, the community supports student development and learning across the campus, six undergraduate colleges, and graduate or professional schools. ucsd.edu/about/principles.html
