The University of Alabama recognizes student rights, including freedom of expression, autonomy, procedural protection and the integrity of people and their property. At the same time, students are members of an academic community and, as such, must observe rules that benefit their classmates, their community and their University. The Code of Student Conduct thus creates an expectation of behavior that the University deems acceptable and is not detrimental to the University. By fulfilling these expectations, students can enjoy their own rights, while also respecting their classmates’ rights and furthering the University’s goals. To read the Code of Student Conduct, visit http://www.sc.ua.edu/index.cfm and click on the Student Code tab at the top of the page.
