All members of UWM are responsible for their conduct and assume reasonable responsibility for reporting inappropriate behavior of others. When students violate rules, campus conduct processes are used to help hold students accountable.&nbsp;The UW Board of Regents has designated certain kinds of conduct to be reviewed and disciplined by UWM.&nbsp;The code of conduct applies to both on-campus and off-campus behavior.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\">\n<div class=\"uwm-l-buttons--full\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--full uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/deanofstudents\/reporting-concerns\/\" rel=\"\">Report It<\/a>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--full uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/public-records\/deans-certification-and-student-conduct-record-requests\/\" rel=\"\">Student Conduct Record Requests<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-block-otp-nav \"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"uwm-bg-gray uwm-u-py-80\"><div class=\"uwm-l-container--base uwm-l-container--overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uw-system-policies\">UW System Policies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/code\/admin_code\/uws\/14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UWS Chapter 14<\/a>&nbsp;Student Academic Disciplinary Procedures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/code\/admin_code\/uws\/17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UWS Chapter 17<\/a>&nbsp;Student Nonacademic Disciplinary Procedures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/code\/admin_code\/uws\/18\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UWS Chapter 18<\/a>&nbsp;Conduct On University Lands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"uwm-u-py-80\"><div class=\"uwm-l-container--base uwm-l-container--overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-university-policies\">University Policies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>While not an exhaustive list, the following are some examples of applicable university polices:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/discriminatory-conduct-and-consensual-relationships\/\">University Policy SAAP 5-1 Discriminatory Conduct and Consensual Relationship Policy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/sexual-violence-and-sexual-harassment\/\">University Policy SAAP 5-2 Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment Policy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/behavior-cases-impeding-learning-process\/\">Classroom Disruptions<\/a>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/deanofstudents\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/707\/2025\/07\/Medical-Assistance-Policies.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Medical Assistance Policy (PDF)<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/smoke-and-tobacco-free-campus\/\">Smoke and Tobacco Free Campus Policy<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/coronavirus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/515\/2020\/06\/Panther-Community-Health-and-Safety.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Panther Community Health and Safety Standards (PDF)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/expressive-activity-on-campus\/\">Interim Freedom of Expression Policy<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"uwm-bg-gray uwm-u-py-80\"><div class=\"uwm-l-container--base uwm-l-container--overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-student-s-rights\">Student&#8217;s Rights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To be notified of the allegations against them and the initiation of a misconduct investigation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To fair treatment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Privacy is protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To have support a person during any misconduct meetings or hearings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To be notified of the findings of the investigation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To an appeal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"has-alpha-channel-opacity uwm-c-hr--thick uwm-u-my-0\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":0,"parent":46,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/full-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":"","uwm_wg_additional_authors":[]},"class_list":["post-129","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
