Student Conduct
UCSC Extension, as a unit of the University of California,
Santa Cruz, has high standards for academic integrity
and student conduct. Extension students are expected
to conform to a code of conduct that is appropriate
and considerate of our highly diverse adult learning environment.
Disruption of teaching, learning, research or
administration through such activities as, but not limited
to, disorderly conduct, physical or verbal abuse, threats
of violence, academic dishonesty (including all forms of
plagia rism and cheating), forgery, theft, unsanctioned use
of alcohol, unlawful use of controlled substances, or any
other action that might threaten UCSC Extension property
or the health and safety of any person on UCSC Extension
property or attending any UCSC Extension-sponsored
event, will not be tolerated and is grounds for severe
sanction including arrest and dismissal. See the
Student Code of Conduct pdf document at
ucsc-extension.edu/student-services.
Crime Awareness
Federal law requires the reporting of crime statistics
on college and university campuses. For help in obtaining
crime incidence information relative to UCSC
Extension’s classroom facilities, call Kevin McGowan
at (408) 861-3700. UCSC’s annual security report
includes statistics for the previous three years concerning
reported crimes that occurred on campus, in certain
off-campus buildings owned or controlled by UCSC, and
on public property within, or immediately adjacent to
and accessible from the campus. The report also includes
institu tional policies concerning campus security, such
as policies con cerning alcohol and drug use, crime
prevention, the reporting of crimes, sexual assault, and
other matters. You can obtain a copy of this report by
contacting the UCSC Police Department or by accessing
www2.ucsc.edu/police/reports.html.
Sexual Harassment
The University cherishes the free and open exchange
of ideas and enhancement of knowledge. Maintaining
this freedom and openness requires objectivity, mutual
trust and confidence; it requires the absence of coercion,
intimi dation or exploitation. The principal responsibility for
main taining these conditions must rest upon those members
of the University community who exercise authority
and leadership: faculty, managers and supervisors.
The University has therefore instituted a number of
measures designed to protect its community from sexual
and other forms of harassment. Information, advice,
referrals and/or copies of UCSC’s Sex Offense Policy and
Procedures for Reports of Sexual Assault and Sexual
Harassment are available to all students, faculty and staff
by contacting Rita E. Walker, Title IX Coordinator/Sexual
Harassment Officer, 119 Kerr Hall, at (831) 459-2462.
The Title IX Coordinator is also available to investigate
other violations of Title IX. Questions regarding discrimination
may be directed to the Affirmative Action Office
at (831) 459-1590.
Other Student Information
Holidays
Memorial Day Weekend: May 26–28
Textbooks
Information on required and recommended textbooks
can be found in course descriptions online at
ucsc-extension.edu, and on your enrollment receipt.
Most textbooks can be purchased through Extension’s
partnership with Amazon.com. Our Web site has a convenient
search tool online at ucsc-extension.edu/bookstore.
Printed Course Readers
Printed course readers are available from our vendor,
CMC, and students are responsible for ordering course
materials and bringing them to the first class session.
Materials are bound and shipped directly to the student,
and for many courses, PDF downloads of the materials
may also be available. There is a modest fee for both
options provided by CMC.
Students will receive an e-mail from Content Manage
ment Corporation six days before the first class session.
The e-mail will contain a unique username and password,
different from your student ID, which is used to log in
to a special URL, also provided in the e-mail, and order
materials. After logging in to the CMC ordering site, you
will only see your courses that begin in the next six days.
To order materials for additional courses, return to the
site when you receive an e-mail notification for that course.
CMC usernames and passwords are automatically
created for each Extension student ID. To avoid receiving
multiple CMC logins, always enroll with your existing
Extension ID, rather than create a new one.
For more information, see:
ucsc-extension.edu/course-materials.

Santa Clara facility. The appropriate wireless network card
is required. Any wireless connec tion is open to the Internet.
