The Student Conduct Code was approved by University of Washington faculty, reviewed by the Attorney General’s Office, and made effective by the Board of Regents. Written into Washington Administrative Code (WAC 478-120-010), standards of academic and behavioral conduct apply to University of Washington students enrolled at Bothell, Seattle and Tacoma.
UW Bothell Student Conduct Process
Implementation processes unique to each campus ensure the rights and freedoms of all members of the University community including the student’s right to due process under the 14th Amendment. The University of Washington Bothell Conduct Process was recommended by UW Bothell faculty, reviewed by the Attorney General’s Office, and approved by the Chancellor.
Expectations for Student Conduct in the Classroom
As representatives of the University, faculty have the responsibility and the authority to Establish Expectations for Student Conduct that foster an understanding and a climate of academic honesty in the classroom. Faculty may also prohibit behaviors distracting to other students or disruptive to their teaching.
Reporting Student Misconduct
When faculty suspect academic misconduct, three steps are required to Report Student Misconduct. Once a Student Conduct Incident Report is filed, the Office of Student Services coordinates the conduct process including Student Conduct Hearings held on the UW Bothell campus.
