VCSA Policies

Your Rights and Responsibilities

Many areas of the university have created policies to support, protect and empower students.
 

Create a Positive Campus

We encourage students to contribute to a positive community. All students should review and understand the Standards of Conduct, which apply to all UC students, as well as the Academic Integrity policies and procedures.

In addition, students should familiarize themselves with policies that may apply to their unique circumstances. For instance, student organization members should read over policies associated with group members, and any student accused of being in violation should review the summary of the Conduct Process. For more information, please visit the Student Conduct and Academic Integrity Programs website.
 

Free Speech and Expressive Activity

Information, resources, and training about free speech at UCR can be found at https://freespeech.ucr.edu/. Please also note the following revised policies:

  • 700-20: Policy Prohibiting Camping on University Property. California law prohibits camping on campus and other University property, without permission. This policy follows this law and allows camping (or use of camping equipment) with the permission of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs (for student requests) or the Vice Chancellor for Planning, Budget & Administration (for all other requests).
  • 700-50: Revised Posting Policy for Students.  This policy updates and replaces several older campus policies (including the current 700-50, the HUB posting policy, and Policy 700-20) and creates a consistent set of rules for the campus. The policy applies to flyers, posters, signs, banners, flags, and other Printed Materials and sets rules for how, when, and where they may be posted (or otherwise displayed). This policy will be a companion policy to Policy 700-52: Temporary Signage and Banners, which applies to employees and third parties (not students).
  • 700-70: Revisions to Time, Place and Manner Policy. The revised Policy applies to Expressive Activities on campus and is designed to ensure that demonstrations, assemblies, rallies, and similar activities do not infringe on the rights of individuals or groups, harm University property, or disrupt University programs or activities. The revisions comply with systemwide direction and include provisions regarding identification and compliance with campus officials. The revisions also re-organize restrictions into logical categories to make the policy easier to follow and apply.
