University Student Handbook

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 University of Rhode Island campuses.

While these standards pertain primarily to 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 (see Section 12). If there is debate as to the meaning of any Handbook regulations or procedures, the Vice President of Student Affairs will provide the final interpretation in consultation with the University Ombuds.
