Student Responsibilities

You are at “that age” now. You’re regarded as a mature citizen of a community, to be treated with respect and to respect the rights of others. As you take the lead in developing your academic and social skills, you’ll be making decisions — academic and social — that often impact your entire future. That is why enjoying the rewards of a UAlbany education and a vibrant campus environment entails living up to responsibilities of good citizenship in our community.

Principles for a Just Community

The University at Albany adheres to the “Principles of a Just Community,” a set of standards first adopted by the University in 1990. In brief, these principles state that UAlbany is an academic community dedicated to equality, liberty, the dignity of the individual, and respect for diversity. All faculty, staff, and students of the University at Albany have the responsibility to maintain this standard of justice.
