Know the Code
As we begin the 2023-24 academic year, we want to highlight important information as it relates to student behavior and expectations both on and off campus.
Off-Campus Safety
With the beginning of the new academic year upon us, we know many of you are excited to start another great year at UAlbany and want to have fun with your friends. Many may want to show off their new apartment and have friends over to catch up. We encourage you to do this responsibly and in small groups.
Our commitment to protect speech
As a public university, we have a constitutional obligation to protect speech, even when that speech fundamentally conflicts with our core values. As one of the most diverse public research institutions in the nation, we are equally committed to fostering an environment in which all students feel safe and included – and that the right to protest is also protected. These two central parts of our identity need not exist in conflict.
