ACADEMIC AND PERSONAL CONDUCT
UAEU expects all members of its academic community, including students, to function according to the highest
academic, ethical, and professional standards. Accordingly, students have certain rights and responsibilities, which
are described by the "Student Code of Conduct" in the Student Affairs and Deanship section of the University’s
Policies and Procedures and, therefore, graduate students are responsible for their own academic and personal
conduct consistent with the policies.
The Code of Conduct specifies actions that would be classed as misconduct (academic or non-academic) for
which an offending individual or student organization would be subject to disciplinary sanctions. The Procedures are
intended to ensure consistency and fairness for every student in the University through consistency in the adjudication
of cases of student misconduct.
RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
UAEU seeks to foster a community that is respectful of the rights, opportunities,
and welfare of students, faculty, staff, and guests, that is free from violence, threats, and intimidation, and promotes
health and safety of the University community.
Details on student's rights and responsibilities are provided in the "Student's Rights" section of the Procedures on
"Student Conduct" under the Student Affairs Deanship.
PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
The University safeguards the privacy of students and the confidentiality of their academic records. Accordingly,
the Office of the Registrar is responsible for the privacy and confidentiality of the academic records of all students.
Access rights to university employees, such as academic advisors and staff, are governed by rules and regulations
that are managed by the Office of Enrollment Deanship. Employees with access to student records may not release
any information to a third party without the prior consent of the student.
For more details on this subject, students should review the policy on " Academic Records - Academic Transcripts",
under "Admissions and Enrollment".
