Vision Statement

Community Standards and Student Conduct (CSSC) fosters a developmental approach to student conduct, provides support and guidance to the University community, and promotes the values and expectations of the University of Washington. Through the Code of Student Conduct we hold our students to the highest standards of ethics, integrity, and accountability for behavior.

Services provided by Community Standards and Student Conduct

  • Consultation- Community Standards and Student Conduct is a part of a University-wide Consultation and Assessment Team which includes Health and Wellness and the Counseling Center. This team meets weekly to consult on issues of student behavior and acts as a resource referral agent.

  • Certification or Verification of Records- for students transferring colleges or participating in some study abroad programs, a verification of attendance is sometimes required. Often students applying to graduate programs or other transferring to other institutions are requested to release their disciplinary records to the new institution. Please contact us for further information about this service.

  • Adjudication of the Code of Student Conduct- CSSC investigates alleged violations, and informs students of their rights and responsibilities outlined in the code. The full Code can be found here

  • Resource- Colleges and Schools have jurisdiction for addressing issues of academic misconduct. CSSC acts as a resource for Colleges and Schools regarding the overall University procedures for student conduct and maintains records of disciplinary actions.

  • Outreach- CSSC provides workshops for students on ethical decision-making, being a good community member and a responsible citizen. Additionally CSSC works closely with various campus constituents to promote the highest standards of ethics, integrity and accountability at the University of Washington.
