Community Standards

Conduct and Community Standards

The student conduct process emphasizes personal accountability, reflection, and growth, and provides students with opportunities to learn from their choices and their effects on the campus community. Staff within Conduct and Community Standards are dedicated to educating students through guidance and accountability, ensuring equitable and consistent application of university policies, collaborating with campus and community partners to provide resources and support, and offering a space where students can ask questions, address concerns, and navigate the conduct process. Matters involving student organizations are addressed through the Student Organization Code of Conduct.

Information on the Student Code of Conduct, Conduct Resolution Process, Organizational Code of Conduct, and Student Rights and Responsibilities are all published in the Faculty Staff Handbook.

If you need assistance with the Student Code of Conduct, please contact the Office of the Dean of Students at 208-885-6757.

Preferred Name

The University of Idaho recognizes that some individuals prefer to identify themselves with a preferred name in addition to the person’s legal name. For this reason, beginning in the Spring 2021 semester, the University has enabled students to use a “preferred name” where possible in the course of University business and education. However, the University reserves the right to remove a preferred name if it contains inappropriate or offensive language or is being used for misrepresentation. Students who misuse the preferred name may be referred to the Dean of Students.
