Student Rights and Community Standards is dedicated to promoting a safe and synergistic campus environment by helping to define, communicate, and uphold University policies. We support the development of ethical and engaged community members by educating students on their Rights & Responsibilities, addressing inappropriate behavior in a fair and responsive manner, and offering various opportunities for personal growth.
We accomplish this through a variety of means including the Student Conduct Process, support meetings, faculty/ staff trainings, leadership opportunities, and ongoing community education.
Rights and Responsibilities
All students enrolled in any undergraduate, graduate, or advanced academic course or program, on our campus or via Internet-based programs or courses, are considered members of the Brandeis University community, and are therefore responsible for meeting all of the standards in this code.
Student Conduct Process
The Student Conduct Process is based on established expectations and standards of behavior at Brandeis as described in Rights and Responsibilities, and also relies on a peer judgment model.
Reporting Forms
Report suspicious activity or misconduct.
