Student Rights & Responsibilities provides for the safety and well-being of the university environment and aids in the growth and development of a student as related to a student's behavior. Student Rights & Responsibilities receives all referrals regarding alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct.

Any member of the university community may file charges against a student for an alleged violation of the Student Code of Conduct. Such charges must be filed in writing with Student Rights & Responsibilities, which also reserves the right to initiate or follow up any investigative leads where there is reasonable belief of possible violations of the Student Code of Conduct.

The Student Code of Conduct is consistent across all USF campuses. Violations are handled through the Dean of Students.
