What is the Office of Community Standards?
UAlbany’s Office of Community Standards administers the student code of conduct, called Community Rights & Responsibilities, and ensures students understand how to uphold those principles.

Community Standards is proud to inform you that the University Council has approved a revised version of the Community Rights and Responsibilities – our campus’ student code of conduct. The revised code will go into effect on January 2, 2025. Any cases adjudicated after January 2nd will be adjudicated under the revised Community Rights and Responsibilities, including cases related to alleged conduct that occurred prior to January 2, 2025.
If a student violates the code of conduct and is referred to our office, we will meet with them to explain the University’s student conduct procedures and how they can repair the breach.
We also are available to speak with students and their families on various issues, such as questions related to our process or requests for help with conflict resolution.
