Earl Warren College 

Earl Warren 

Earl Warren, a native Californian, made many contributions to the state. He served 

as district attorney of Alameda County, attorney general of California, and then as 

governor from 1942-1952. Following his years of public service in California, Warren 

served as chief justice of the United States from 1953 until 1969. 

The Warren Court mandated a doctrine of fairness in such areas as criminal justice, 

voting rights, legislative districts, employment, housing, transportation, and education. 

Warren joined the ranks of the most profoundly influential chief justices in the history 

of the Supreme Court. 

In his honor, Warren College at UC San Diego explores the relationship between 

leadership and social justice. Also consistent with Earl Warren’s principles, Warren 

College is committed to preparing students for life and work intellectually, socially, and 

professionally. Warren students and faculty represent all of the disciplines offered at 

UC San Diego. 

UC San Diego Principles of Community 

To foster the best possible working and learning environment, UC San Diego strives to maintain a climate of fairness, 

cooperation, and professionalism. These principles of community are vital to the success of the University and the 

well-being of its constituents. UC San Diego faculty, staff, and students are expected to practice these basic principles 

as individuals and in groups.

We value each member of the UC San Diego community for his or her individual and unique talents, and applaud 

all efforts to enhance the quality of campus life. We recognize that each individual’s effort is vital to achieving the 

goals of the University. 

We affirm each individual’s right to dignity and strive to maintain a climate of justice marked by mutual respect 

for each other. 

We value the cultural diversity of UC San Diego because it enriches our lives and the university. 

We celebrate this diversity and support respect for all cultures, by both individuals and the University as a whole. 

We are a University that adapts responsibly to cultural differences among the faculty, staff, students, and 

community. 

We acknowledge that our society carries historical and divisive biases based on race, ethnicity, gender, age, 

disability, sexual orientation, religion, and political beliefs. Therefore, we seek to foster understanding and 

tolerance among 

individuals and groups, and we promote awareness through education and constructive strategies for resolving 

conflict. 

We reject acts of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion, and 

political beliefs, and we will confront and appropriately respond to such acts. 

We affirm the right to freedom of expression at UC San Diego. We promote open expression of our individuality 

and our diversity within the bounds of courtesy, sensitivity, confidentiality, and respect. 

We are committed to the highest standards of civility and decency toward all. We are committed to promoting 

and supporting a community where all people can work and learn together in an atmosphere free of abusive or 

demeaning treatment. 

We are committed to the enforcement of policies that promote the fulfillment of these principles. 

FERPA, Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (Buckley Amendment), guarantees the privacy of student records. Without 

written permission, we cannot discuss academic records with parents, friends, employers, or other persons. Where 

appropriate, student information may be shared among University officials. To release personal academic information, 

one must submit an Authorization and Release of Information form to the Warren Academic Advising Office.

Mission 

The mission of Warren College Student Affairs is to develop balanced leaders and engaged citizens. 

Vision 

We provide opportunities for student engagement, learning and discovery in a diverse environment that will optimize 

the university experience and prepare students to serve a global community. 

Values 

We provide opportunities for student involvement and leadership to foster growth and development and better prepare 

students as they emerge as effective leaders. The Student Affairs staff works with students to develop programs and 

services that are designed around the following developmental goals: 

Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Intergroup Competencies 

Intrapersonal, interpersonal, and intergroup competencies 

include self-awareness and the ability to engage in social 

interactions with other individuals and across diverse social 

identity groups. They provide students with a strong, adaptive 

sense of self and the flexibility to effectively interact with, and 

be sensitive to, the ideas and perspective of others. Students 

better understand themselves through reflecting on their 

experiences, accepting others, and engaging in meaningful 

ways with one another honestly, respectfully, and responsibly. 

Community Responsibility and Social Justice 

An educated, engaged, and responsible citizenry is essential 

to a just society. Today’s world demands knowledge of 

historical inequities, sensitivity to global perspectives, and 

an appreciation for diverse cultures. Responsible citizens 

positively impact society through ethical and impact-sensitive 

actions in settings ranging from local communities to global 

arenas. 

Personal Skill Development 

Personal skill development enhances success in college and 

beyond. Personal skill development includes emotional 

intelligence, ethical decision-making, time management, 

self reliance, and self awareness. A well-rounded student is 

resilient, independent and interdependent, and capable of 

evaluating choices and making decisions. Planning for one’s 

future career and maintaining balance and wellness are 

important aspects of one’s personal skill development. 

Student Affairs 

This network of professionals is available to all UC San Diego students. Students are able to request an appointment with 

one of the Warren College psychologists or any of the campus licensed care providers. 


Effective Communication 

Effective communication is essential for students to present 

ideas, articulate complex thoughts, and convey intelligence 

with confidence. This involves the ability to listen, process 

information, express understanding or uncertainty that is 

respected by and respectful of others, and welcomes the 

exchange of ideas with others from diverse backgrounds. 

Intellectual Growth 

Intellectual growth refers to the development of critical 

thinking and analytical skills, confidence in and commitment 

to one’s own ideas while being aware of one’s own cultural 

biases and openness to ideas different than or in conflict 

with one’s own including those rooted in different cultures. 

Hallmarks of intellectual growth are intellectual curiosity, the 

ability to understand the larger context of an issue, and a 

commitment to lifelong learning. 

Leadership Skills 

Leadership skills enable students to lead effectively in a 

complex and global society. Leadership skills include the 

ability to envision, lead and follow, facilitate change, build 

consensus, motivate and inspire others, and understand and 

embrace diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and groups. 

Skilled leaders think critically, creatively, and strategically; 

are resourceful, analyze problems, accomplish goals, and 

act decisively with authenticity and social responsibility. In 

addition, skilled leaders understand their leadership style, 

inspire leadership development in others, and can articulate a 

leadership philosophy.

technological, social, and psychological processes affect 

modern health care.

health care.

The Law and Society Program 

Law and Society is an interdisciplinary minor that explores 

the complexity and interrelationship of legal, social, and 

ethical issues in their historical context. 

The minor focuses on the relation of the law to political, 

economic, and social conflicts, and examines how 

the law reflects and defines basic social values. The 

interdisciplinary content of the program offers UC 

San Diego students the opportunity to examine lawrelated 

issues from the perspectives of a broad range of 

disciplines. Courses from the following departments 

and programs are included in the minor: Anthropology, 

communication, Critical Gender Studies, Economics, 

Environmental Studies, Ethnic Studies, History, Linguistics, 

Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and 

Urban Studies and Planning. 

The program is administered by Earl Warren College, and 

available to all undergraduate students at UCSD. This 

program will be particularly useful for students who are 

considering legal careers or who have a general interest in 

the law as a social institution. 

Website: http://provost.ucsd.edu/warren/law 

Warren College Writing Program 

Argument is central to academic work. Scholars and scientists are expected to support their conclusions with convincing 

reasons and compelling evidence. Informed argument is equally important in planning and policy discussions, political 

decisions, and judgments in a court of law. Even in everyday conversation, we are sometimes challenged to justify our 

opinions and back our assertions. 

Each student must complete a two-course sequence in Warren Writing (10A and 10B) within four quarters. All students 

entering as freshmen are required to complete Warren writing courses only at UC San Diego. The purpose of the 

sequence is to teach and thereby enable students, through intensive practice, to read critically and write appropriately 

in a variety of academic contexts. Classes are seminar-size and center on discussion of student work. 

The two-quarter sequence emphasizes written argumentation based on primary and secondary sources. Students read 

and write academic arguments in preparation for their work in various academic disciplines. 

In both 10A and 10B, student writing is duplicated and discussed by the class in a workshop setting. Instructors hold 

conferences with students individually during the quarter and provide written and oral commentaries on student work. 

The minimum writing requirement is 8,000 words per quarter.

Warren College Writing Center 

The Warren College Writing Center offers academic support for Warren Students working on writing assignments for any 

course. One-on-one assistance is provided free of charge by peer writing mentors on a pre-arranged or drop-in basis. 

The center director also offers group workshops addressing a range of writing tasks. 

We believe that good writing is essential for academic success. Although students may receive explicit writing instruction 

in their classes, there is sometimes a gap between what goes on in the classroom and student understanding; we seek to 

bridge this gap. We provide a supplemental support service that may be particularly important at a large university like 

UC San Diego. 

We see writing as a process that takes practice. No one is a perfect writer; there is always room for improvement at 

any stage of the process. Every writer is different, and we attempt to work with each writer as best we can. We aim 

to be responsive to unique capabilities and needs. We take into account individual students’ priorities - what they say 

they want to achieve in their mentoring sessions - while simultaneously communicating our own concerns about writing 

problems. 

Our approach is interactive, not directive. We are here not to give answers, but to ask questions that may provoke 

thinking. We try to tease out what students want to say, but are having a hard time expressing. We are here to help 

them present their ideas clearly and thoroughly, not to promote our own ideas. When we work with students whose 

writing is a response to other written texts, we encourage them to analyze these texts in depth and detail, and we try to 

help them see themselves as having a conversation with other writers. 

We recognize that students coming to see us may be anxious about their writing and their academic capacities. We 

strive to be approachable, to create a comfortable and nonjudgmental environment, and to help build student 

confidence. But we also strive to provide honest and constructive criticism, to deal with students professionally, and to 

give them the feedback they need. We ultimately want them to be able to feel good about what they have written. 

Academic Internship Program 

The Academic Internship Program (AIP) offers students an opportunity to apply their academic knowledge and 

analytical skills in diverse professional settings while earning academic credit. Students gain practical experience, career 

clarification, professional contacts, transcript notation, upper-division elective units, and a chance to apply classroom 

theory. 

Students are eligible to apply for AIP if at the time of application, they have 90 units completed (including transfer units) 

and a minimum 2.5 UC GPA. Some specific internships and programs require a higher GPA. 

Requirements: Credit for internships is awarded based on a minimum number of hours worked each week, and 

completion of a paper/project supervised by a faculty advisor from the student’s field of study. Students are required to 

intern for the full ten weeks of the quarter. Eight and twelve unit internships require special approval. 

• 

• 

• 

4 units = 10 hours/week + 10 pg. paper/project 



Once eligible, students should visit the AIP office to get started. Students need to apply the quarter prior to their 

internship. Visit the AIP website at http://aip.ucsd.edu for deadline details and information on special programs. 

Students may also apply to earn credit for a internship they find on their own if it meets AIP’s guidelines. Contact the AIP 

office or visit http://aip.ucsd.edu/ for more information on this option.

Warren Residential Life Policies 

*Changes to these policies may be made at the discretion of Warren residential life. Students will be appropriately 

notified if changes are made. For the more up-to-date version of these policies, please refer to the website: 

http://warren.ucsd.edu/res-life/policies.html. 

At UC San Diego we believe you will find living on campus is an integral part of your education. As a result of your 

community living experience, we hope that you will develop a concern and respect for others; make responsible choices 

and decisions about a lifestyle which suits you best; share your academic, social, and cultural experience with other 

students; and learn to live peacefully in close quarters with a diverse group of people. We encourage you to work 

toward developing a positive involvement in your community, based on your rights and responsibilities as a resident 

living on campus. 

Please be aware that as part of your housing contract, everyone who chooses to live in our residential communities 

must abide by the rules and regulations of UCSD, which include the UCSD Student Conduct Code (http://ugr8.ucsd. 

edu/judicial/tblcontents_srrc.html), the UCSD RESNET Acceptable Use Policy (http://resnet.ucsd.edu/policies.shtml), 

all applicable local, state, and federal laws, and the Housing and Residential Life policies outlined below. All of these 

guidelines are here to establish a safe and secure living environment and to support your success as a UCSD student. 

Any student who anticipates or observes a potential violation of policy is expected to immediately remove herself/ 

himself from the environment in which the violation may occur. One’s presence during any violation of University or 

Housing policy ultimately condones, supports, and/or encourages the behavior or potential violation of policy. 

It is important to realize that students living in a group environment affect each other’s lives in many ways – we strongly 

believe that one’s actions demonstrate one’s commitment to respecting differences. In addition, we will not accept 

ignorance, humor, anger, alcohol or substance abuse as an excuse, reason, or rationale for behavior. Certain shared 

responsibilities such as mutual cooperation, inclusion and respect are integral to any successful group living situation. It 

also means accepting personal responsibility for how your everyday actions affect others living with you as roommates 

and neighbors. Establishing a positive and supportive residential environment means each individual must make 

occasional adjustments in personal habits, attitudes, and beliefs. Successful on-campus living, whether in the residence 

halls or apartments, means exercising your rights while recognizing your responsibilities in respecting the equally 

legitimate rights of the other members in your community. 

In accordance with the University of California San 

Diego (UCSD) Single Undergraduate Residential Housing 

Contract, everyone who chooses to live in our residential 

communities must abide by the rules and regulations 

of UCSD: the UCSD Student Conduct Code (http://ugr8. 

ucsd.edu/judicial/tblcontents_srrc.html), the Housing 

and Residential Life policies contained herein, the UCSD 

RESNET Acceptable Use Policy (http://resnet.ucsd.edu/ 

policies.shtml), and all applicable local, state, and federal 

laws. Violations of the rules and regulations may become 

the basis for disciplinary action.

STUDENT CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINE 

22.10. INtrODUCtION: The UC San Diego Student Conduct Code 

(“Conduct Code”) provides authorization for the administration of 

student discipline and enumerates acceptable standards of student 

conduct at UC San Diego. The Conduct Code does not include all 

the definitions or terms found in the University Policies, or UC San 

Diego Policies and Procedures Manual, including the student related 

regulations such as the Campus Alcohol Use Policy, Time, Place and 

Manner Policy, etc., but violations of such policies are nevertheless 

subject to these procedures. 

22.11. GENERAL PROvISIONS: The Regents of the University of 

California is a corporation that derives authority from the State 

of California Constitution, Article IX, Section 9, which prescribes 

its powers of organization and government. These UC San Diego 

regulations, shall apply to behavior of students and student 

organizations on UC San Diego/University properties or functions

was stolen. 

22.16.10.14. Theft or abuse of University computers and other

for the purpose of soliciting or engaging in any lewd act or conduct. 

22.16.10.22. SEXUAL HARASSMENT (AS DEFINED IN UC POLICIES 

SECTION 160.00.) 

a. In any allegation of a violation of the Sexual Harassment Policy 

by any Student or registered student organization, UC San Diego 

officials must consult with the Office of Sexual Harassment 

Policy and Prevention, and should consult with the Director, 

SPJA. 

b. In determining whether the alleged conduct constitutes sexual 

harassment, consideration shall be given to the record of the 

incident as a whole and to the totality of the circumstances, 

including the location of the incident and the context in which 

the alleged incidents occurred. In general, a charge of harassing 

conduct can be addressed under these Policies only when the 

University can reasonably be expected to have some degree 

of control over the alleged harasser and over the environment 

in which the conduct occurred. Students suspecting that 

they are the victim of sexual harassment are encouraged to 

report the matter to University officials, such as the Dean of 

Students and the Director of the Office of Sexual Harassment 

Prevention and Policy. For the purposes of this Conduct Code, 

sexual harassment, including, but not limited to, unwelcome 

sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, 

nonverbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute 

sexual harassment when: 

1. A Student who is also an employee of the University makes 

submission to such conduct, either explicitly or implicitly, a 

term or condition of instruction, employment, or participation 

in other University activity over which the Student has control 

by virtue of his or her University employment; or 

2. A Student who is also an employee of the University makes 

submission to or rejection of such conduct a basis for evaluation 

in making academic or personnel decisions affecting an 

individual, when the Student has control over such decisions by 

virtue of his or her University employment; or 

3. Such conduct by any Student has the purpose or effect of 

creating a hostile and intimidating environment sufficiently 


severe or pervasive to substantially impair a reasonable 

person’s participation in University programs or activities, or 

use of University facilities. 

22.16.10.23. Stalking behavior, in which a Student repeatedly 

engages in a course of conduct directed at another person and makes 

a credible threat with the intent to place that person in reasonable 

fear for his or her safety, or the safety of his or her family, where 

the threat is reasonably determined by the UC San Diego Student 

Conduct Coordinator (“SCC”) or the appropriate Dean of Students 

(“Dean”) in consultation with the SPJA Director, to seriously alarm, 

torment, or terrorize the person, and serves no legitimate purpose. 

22.16.10.24. Harassment by a Student of any person. 

a. For purposes of this Conduct Code, (“harassment”): 

1. Is the use, display, or other demonstration of words, 

gestures, imagery, or physical materials, or the engagement in 

any form of bodily conduct, on the basis of race, color, national 

or ethnic origin, age, sex, religion, sexual orientation, or physical 

or mental disability, that has the effect of creating a hostile 

and intimidating environment sufficiently severe or pervasive 

to substantially impair a reasonable person’s participation in 

University programs or activities, or use of University facilities; 

2. Must target a specific person or persons; and 

3. Must be addressed directly to that person or persons. 

b. Prior to applying this provision of policy to any Student conduct, 

UC San Diego officials must consult with the SPJA Director. The 

Director, in turn, is required to consult with the Office of General 

Counsel regarding the proper interpretation and application in 

light of the specific circumstances. 

22.16.10.25. Participation in hazing or any method of initiation or 

pre-initiation into a registered Student or campus organization or 

other activity engaged in by such organization or members of such 

organization at any time that causes, or is likely to cause, physical 

injury or personal degradation or disgrace resulting in psychological 

harm to any Student or other person. 

22.16.10.26. Obstruction or disruption of teaching, research, 

administration, the disciplinary, process or other UC San Diego or 

University activities. 

22.16.10.27. Disorderly conduct not involving drugs and alcohol, 

including, but not limited to, unauthorized gambling, loud and 

unreasonable noise that serves no legitimate purpose, challenges 

to fight, or conduct which creates a hazardous condition, excluding 

alcohol and/or drug induced behavior. 

22.16.10.28. Participation in a disturbance of the peace or unlawful 

assembly including, but not limited to, inciting to riot, rioting, or 

failure to disperse. 

22.16.10.29. Failure to identify oneself to, or comply with directions 

of, an identified UC San Diego, University official, or other public 

official acting in the performance of his or her duties while on UC 

San Diego or University property or at official UC San Diego or 

University functions; or resisting or obstructing such UC San Diego 

or University or other public officials in the performance of, or the 

attempt to perform, their duties. 

22.16.10.30. Disorderly conduct involving drugs and alcohol such

as, but not limited to, disorderly conduct induced by alcohol and/ 

or a controlled substance as identified in Federal and State law or 

regulations, or unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, 

possession, use, or sale of, or the attempted manufacture, 

distribution, dispensing, or sale of alcohol and/or controlled 

substances, as identified in Federal and State law or regulations. 

22.16.10.31. Possession, use, storage, or manufacture, or attempted 

possession, use, storage, or manufacture, of fireworks. 

22.16.10.32. Possession, use, storage, or manufacture, or attempted 

possession use, storage, or manufacture, of explosives, firebombs, 

or other destructive devices. 

22.16.10.33. Possession, use or manufacture of a firearm or other 

dangerous weapon without the prior written approval from the UC 

San Diego Chief of Police. 

22.16.10.34. violation of the conditions contained in the terms of a 

disciplinary action imposed under UC Policies Section 100.00, and 

these Policies Section 22.00. 

22.16.10.35. violation of orders issued pursuant to these Policies, 

Section 21.10. or violation of the conditions contained in a written 

Notice of Emergency Suspension issued pursuant to these Policies, 

Section 21.11., during a declared state of emergency. 

22.16.10.36. Selling, preparing, or distributing, for any commercial 

purpose, course lecture notes or video or audio recordings of any 

course unless authorized by UC San Diego or the University in 

advance and explicitly permitted by the course instructor in writing. 

The unauthorized sale or commercial distribution of course notes 

or recordings by a Student is a violation of UC, Section 100.00, and 

these Policies, Section 22.00, whether or not it was the Student or 

someone else who prepared the notes or recordings. 

22.16.10.37. Copying, for any commercial purpose, handouts, readers 

or other course materials provided by an instructor as part of a UC 

San Diego or University of California course unless authorized, in 

writing, by UC San Diego or the University in advance and explicitly 

permitted, in writing, by the course instructor or the copyright 

holder, if the instructor is not the copyright holder. 

STATEMENT REGARDING THE USE OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA 

The use of marijuana on University property, including but not 

limited to residential facilities, is prohibited by law, UC Policies and 

UC San Diego Student Conduct Code. Also, be advised that UC Policy 

does not make any exceptions to this prohibition for the possession 

or use of marijuana for so called “medical purposes”, even if it 

otherwise meets the qualifications of the Compassionate Use Act 

(small amount with a physician’s prescription before use/possession 

is discovered). And, students who engage in the use, possession, 

cultivation, distribution, or sale of marijuana in the residence halls 

or on any University property or UC San Diego event or function will 

be subject to disciplinary action under the UC San Diego Student 

Conduct Code. 

DOWNLOADING OF MUSIC AND MOvIES 

The UC San Diego ResNet Acceptable Use policy (http://resnet. 

ucsd.edu/policies.shtml) states that it is illegal to copy or distribute 

copyrighted material if you do not have permission from the 


copyright owner. Most of the material (movies, music, software, 

etc.) that is available with Peer-to-Peer file sharing software (Kazaa, 

Direct Connect, etc.) is illegal for individuals to download. Students 

should note that most of this file sharing software will deceptively 

install a server on your computer to distribute the material you have 

downloaded. Both downloading and distributing this material is in 

violation of Federal copyright law and the UC San Diego Student 

Code of Conduct. 

THEFT - BOOKSTORE AND DINING SERvICES 

Theft constitutes a violation of University policies and the Student 

Conduct Code. Please be advised that the UC San Diego Bookstore 

and each of the housing dining facilities are equipped with camera 

surveillance systems. Individuals to who are found to be in violation 

of any Bookstore or dining policy or observed by the surveillance 

system to be removing items or food from these facilities without 

payment will be subject to disciplinary action which includes a stiff 

administrative charge.

the distribution, posting, and exhibiting of literature that advocates 

illegal acts or activities, or literature that is offensive to individuals or 

groups within the campus community.

set forth in the UC San Diego Policies and Procedures Applying to 

Student Activities, Section 22.00 et seq. violations of this posting 

policy may be reported to the Dean of the college and residence

rooms with access to the common area object. Any material posted 

in the common area of apartments or dormitory suites must be 

removed in the event that any resident of an adjoining room with 

access to the common area objects to the posting of such material.

Students who are accused of misconduct are provided with 

an Essential Information document which describes the 

discipline process, and summarizes, in everyday language, 

some important sections of the UC San Diego Student 

Conduct Code, referred to in this section as the Conduct 

Code. An abridged version of the Conduct Code is included 

in this Handbook. The complete regulations and policies are 

found in the Conduct Code itself, which is available on-line 

at http://ugr8.ucsd.edu/judicial/22_00.html. All students 

should be aware and knowledgeable about their rights 

and responsibilities. Please note that there are different 

processes for academic and non-academic misconduct. 

More specific information on the dispensation of academic 

misconduct cases can be found at 

http://www-senate.ucsd.edu/manual/appendices/app2. 

htm#AP14. 

Students who are accused of misconduct have the right 

to receive notice of the accusation and an opportunity to 

informally present their position to campus officials. If the 

matter cannot be resolved informally, the student has the 

right to a hearing before a college or campus judicial board 

or hearing officer. If a hearing results in a decision that the 

student views as an adverse decision, the student has the 

right to appeal that decision, or the sanction(s) imposed, 

to the campus administration. Each of these steps, and the 

procedures to be followed, is set forth in Section 22.00 of 

the Conduct Code. Please note that Section 22.00 contains 

certain deadlines that must be met at various stages of the 

process. Those deadlines are set out in the Conduct Code 

and are also summarized below. 

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? The accused student will be required 

to schedule a meeting with the Dean or a member of the 

Dean’s staff, during which s/he will review the procedures 

and invite the accused to ask any questions about the 

student conduct process. The Dean or Dean’s staff member 

will explain the allegation(s) of misconduct, and will invite 

the accused student to participate in an informal resolution 

of the allegation(s). If the accused accepts responsibility for 

the misconduct as alleged, a sanction(s) may be imposed at 

the initial meeting with the Dean or a member of the Dean’s 

staff (Assistant Dean, Resident Dean, or Assistant Resident 

Dean.) Refer to the complete Conduct Code for information 

on possible sanctions. If the accused student disagrees with 

the charge(s), or denies any involvement in the misconduct 

as alleged, the student has the right to a formal hearing 

before a judicial board or hearing officer. 

Student Discipline Process 


WHAT ARE My RIGHTS AS AN ACCUSED STUDENT? The 

Conduct Code provides certain rights for students accused 

of misconduct. The following information is intended to 

explain the process but is not a substitute for the complete 

Conduct Code. Here is a brief summary of students’ rights: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Students should receive written notice including a brief 

statement of the alleged misconduct, the availability 

of help, and the name of the Dean’s staff member you 

should contact. These are in the “Misconduct Incident 

Notice” document or in the charge letter. 

Students are considered innocent until proven 

responsible. 

A friend, advisor, parent or attorney may advise a 

student through the process. 

Students may try to convince the Dean’s staff member 

that the non-academic misconduct case has no merit 

or that the student is not responsible and it should be 

dismissed. 

Within certain limits, the University must provide 

details of the case against you, identify witnesses, and 

show students information which will be presented 

if there is a hearing. Students may receive copies of 

these documents for a fee not to exceed costs to the 

University. 

Students may hear a proposed sanction as part of 

negotiations to bring the complaint to an informal 

resolution. 

Students may stay silent at all points in the process 

(students need not testify against themselves). 

Students have the right to “your day in court” – a hearing 

before a University Judicial Board or a Hearing Officer. 

Under the terms of an “Informal Resolution Agreement,” 

students may both accept responsibility and appeal the 

severity of the Dean’s sanction to the College Provost.

Residential Judicial Process 

Students living in the Warren residence halls or 

apartments will find they have considerable freedom with 

regard to their behavior. However, with that freedom 

comes the full responsibility for their behavior. Should 

students be found responsible for violating any Residential 

Life policy, the Student Code of Conduct, or the University 

Housing Contract, they may face judicial review by one 

or more of the following: a Resident Dean, the Dean of 

Student Affairs, or the Warren College Judicial Board. 

The steps of the judicial process are to: 

1. Determine if a student has violated a policy. 

2. Assist students in understanding how they have 

violated policy or the student conduct code and why 

such behavior is unacceptable. 

3. Help those who have violated policies or the code 

obtain knowledge and information so they can make 

better choices in the future an develop strategies to 

change their behavior so that it is acceptable. 

4. Promote compatible community living by ensuring 

all members of the community are respectful of each 

other’s rights. 

Complaint and Hearing Procedure Notification 

After a violation is alleged, the Residential Life Office will 

notify a student verbally and/or in writing. Depending 

on the severity of the violation, the student can admit 

responsibility for the reported allegation(s) and, as a result, 

will be issued a sanction. violations that warrant a more 

severe sanction, or if a student requests an appeal as a 

result of the initial meeting with the Resident Dean staff, 

the student will be referred to the Dean of Student Affairs 

at the student’s college of registration, or the judicial 

review board at the student’s college of registration. 

Sanctions for violations of Residential Life policies and 

regulations, the Student Code of Conduct, and the 

University Housing Contract are assessed according to 

the severity of the incident. The exact assessment is 

left to the discretion of the appointed hearing officer. 

Restitution fees may be applicable in conjunction with 

disciplinary action and in addition to any charges for repair 

or replacement of university property, as well as labor 

charges. 

Appeal Process 

All students have the right to appeal disciplinary decisions. 

Appeals must be made within five academic days after 

verbal or written notification of the sanction. The written 

appeal must include the reason for the request. A student 

The Judicial Process 


may appeal for three reasons, which include: 

1. The introduction of new information 

2. Failure to uphold the student’s rights 

3. Appropriateness of the sanction. 

All appeals must be submitted in writing to the Provost of 

the College. Questions about appeals procedures can be 

answered at the Residential Life Office, Dean of Student 

Affairs Office, and at Student Legal Services. 

Assistance is Available

Resident Dean – 534-4581.) 

• The UC San Diego Student Legal Services Office 

(534-4374). 

• The AS/UC San Diego Student Advocate (534-4450).

UC San Diego Policy on Integrity of Scholarship 

Integrity of scholarship is essential for an academic community. The University expects that both faculty and students 

will honor this principle and in so doing protect the validity of University intellectual work. For students, this means that 

all academic work will be done by the individual to whom it is assigned, without unauthorized aid of any kind. Instructors, 

for their part, will exercise care in planning and supervising academic work, so that honest effort will be upheld. Students 

are expected to complete the course in compliance with the instructor’s standards. 

No student shall engage in any activity that involves attempting to receive a grade by means other than honest effort; 

for example: 

• No student shall knowingly procure, provide, or accept any unauthorized material that contains questions or 

answers to any examination or assignment to be given at a subsequent time 

• No student shall complete, in part or in total, any examination or assignment for another person 

• No student shall knowingly allow any examination or assignment to be completed, in part or in total, for himself 

or herself by another person 

• No student shall plagiarize or copy the work of another person and submit it as his or her own work 

• No student shall employ aids excluded by the instructor in undertaking course work or in completing any 

examination or assignment 

• No student shall alter graded class assignments or examinations and then resubmit them for re-grading 

• No student shall submit substantially the same material in more than one course without prior authorization 

All new freshman, transfer, and Education Abroad Program reciprocity students at Warren are required to complete 

the online Academic Integrity Tutorial by a specified deadline. Both an e-mail and a letter will be sent to all students
