Community Standards

Conduct & Community Standards

To support the core values and mission of the University of Idaho, the staff within Conduct & Community Standards strives to uphold a balance of student accountability with education and growth in regard to the Student Code of Conduct. If you need assistance with the Student Code of Conduct, please contact the Office of the Dean of Students at 208-885-6757.

Student Rights, Conduct, and Records

The "Statement of Student Rights," "Student Code of Conduct," and "Student Records Policy" are published in the Faculty-Staff Handbook and in the booklet entitled "Policies and Information of Interest to Students." The booklet is available from the Office of the Dean of Students (TLC 232), the Office of Academic Affairs (Admin 104), and other locations around campus. Members of the university community are urged to familiarize themselves with these documents.

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.
