What it Means to be a Responsible Longhorn

Your success at the university will be measured in and outside of the classroom. All members of the university community contribute to each other’s success. As a member of the Longhorn community, you are responsible for observing standards of conduct appropriate for a community of scholars. These expectations include obeying the law, showing respect for other members of the university community, and maintaining absolute integrity and a high standard of individual honor in scholastic work.

By familiarizing yourself with the rules and policies, as well as the Honor Code, of the university, you will be taking a step toward meeting the expectations set forth in the standards of student conduct. It is important to observe the policies and regulations of your residence hall community, follow the instructions and expectations set forth by your instructors, and adhere to other rules and policies.

The Student Standards of Conduct are spelled out in detail in Chapter 11 of the Institutional Rules on Student Services and Activities found in Appendix C of the General Information catalog. You can access the catalog and learn more about Student Judicial Services (SJS) and the student discipline process by visiting deanofstudents.utexas.edu/sjs.

The UT Austin Honor Code
