Student Conduct

The University of Houston-Victoria (UHV), as an educational institution, has a special set of interests and purposes essential to its effective functioning. These include: (a) the opportunity for students to attain their educational objectives, (b) the creation and maintenance of an intellectual and educational atmosphere throughout the University, and (c) the protection of health, safety, welfare, property, and human rights of all members of the University, and the property of the university itself.  In the area of student conduct, the University has a clear responsibility to protect and promote the pursuit of its goals.  The Student Code of Conduct emphasizes the University’s commitment to promote the freedom, intellectual development, and personal responsibility of its students.

The Student Code of Conduct sets forth those acts that constitute unacceptable conduct for students of the University.  All alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct might result in referral to the Sr. Director of Residence Life & Judicial Affairs for disciplinary action.

The University of Houston-Victoria supports the concept of educational discipline – educating the student through appropriate sanctioning when circumstances permit; but should the student demonstrate an unwillingness to obey the rules governing conduct, the students will be treated in the same manner as one who has failed academically.  Students are expected to adhere to, and will be held accountable for adhering to, all federal, state, and local laws in addition to all University policies and regulations not mentioned herein.

A student admitted to the University of Houston-Victoria accepts the responsibility to conform to all UHV rules and regulations.  Proven failure to meet this obligation will justify appropriate disciplinary action including, but not limited to, expulsion, suspension, disciplinary probation, reprimand or warning.  Although the University will make every reasonable effort to make the rules and regulations available, students are responsible for becoming familiar with them on their own accord.

The University of Houston-Victoria student conduct process is the responsibility of the Sr. Director of Residence Life & Judicial Affairs. For further information on Student Conduct, contact Hilary Kofron at (361) 485-4409 or kofronh@uhv.edu.
