Student Rights and Responsibilities

Rights and Responsibility Handbook

By reason of its responsibility to promote its educational purpose, the University of Miami has the inherent right to preserve order and maintain stability through the setting of standards of conduct and the prescribing of procedures for the enforcement of such standards. The foundation underlying the prescription of student standards at the University of Miami is the tenet that the exercise of individual rights must be accompanied by an equal amount of responsibility. This assures that the same rights are not denied to others. By accepting membership in the University community, a student acquires rights in, as well as responsibilities to, the whole University community.
