Revised October 16, 2012
The Office of the Dean of Students publishes "Official Notices" in the Daily Bruin at various times during the year. Such notices are important, and all students are held responsible for the information in them. With the consent of the instructor, registered students and interested individuals are permitted to audit classes. Arrangements are made directly with the faculty member under any rules the faculty member may establish, and those auditing ordinarily do not participate in discussions, examinations, or written papers. Audited classes are not recorded on the Study List or on transcripts for regular session courses. Any disruption of a class due to the audible beeping or use of cell phones or pagers will be treated as a violation of Section 102.13 of the UCLA Student Conduct Code and will subject a student to sanctions up to and including suspension or dismissal. Cell phones and pagers must be turned off while in classes, libraries, or other quiet areas. Class rosters, which identify enrolled or wait-listed students, are available online to each instructor through MyUCLA. Attendance in UCLA classes is limited to duly enrolled regular session or concurrent University Extension students. Guests may attend lectures only with the approval of the instructor. Students may be dropped from a course for academic reasons such as lacking the approved requisites and requirements (SR542). If attendance is an academic requirement established by the instructor, students may be dropped from a course because of excessive absences. Notes or recordings made by students are for purposes of individual or group study or for other noncommercial purposes reasonably arising from the student’s membership in the class or the University. Permission to make notes or recordings falls within the instructor’s discretion as informed by instructional purposes, classroom order, property interests, or other reasonable issues arising in the academic context. Notes and recordings may not be exchanged or distributed for commercial purposes, for compensation, or for any other purpose other than study, either between students or between a student(s) and a third party. Unless authorized by the University in advance and explicitly permitted by the instructor, commercial use of class notes or recordings constitutes an unauthorized commercial activity in violation of the UCLA Regulations on Activities, Registered Organizations, and Use of Properties, Section IV, Paragraph A (see the Student Activities website). Students who violate this policy are subject to University discipline. Further, AB 1773 was signed into law on September 23, 2000, to be effective January 1, 2001. This State law amended the California Education Code as follows: 66450. (a) Except as authorized by policies developed by the University in accordance with subdivision (a) of Section 66452, no business, agency, or person, including, but not necessarily limited to, an enrolled student shall prepare, cause to be prepared, give, sell, transfer, or otherwise distribute or publish, for any commercial purpose, any contemporaneous recording of an academic presentation in a classroom or equivalent site of instruction by an instructor of record. The prohibition applies to a recording made in any medium, including but not necessarily limited to, handwritten or typewritten class notes. The full text of AB 1773, including a description of civil penalties and the legal and financial remedies available to the University and an individual instructor for violations of this State law, can be found on the Official California Legislative Information website. This notice has been prepared for distribution to all UCLA students as requested by AB 1773. Individual instructors retain intellectual property rights in lecture material, pursuant to U.S. copyright law and California Civil Code 980(a)(1). Misuse of course notes derived from lecture material may also subject an individual to legal proceedings brought by the instructor. Pursuant to the guidelines reviewed by the UCLA Academic Senate (1973), lecture note subscription services are permitted, if authorized in advance by the University and if approved by the instructor. The Lecture Notes service offered by the Associated Students UCLA is currently authorized by the University to provide a course notes subscription service for particular classes. For such classes, the note taker is approved in advance by the instructor, and the instructor may review the notes before their distribution and sale through the UCLA Store Lecture Notes office in Ackerman Union. The list of classes with such a subscription service is available in Ackerman Union. Nothing in this policy precludes an instructor from posting the course lecture notes, which they prepare or authorize to be prepared, on the UCLA-provided course website for the class, which the instructor controls. Students who are permitted by the instructor to review such course lecture notes are reminded that these policies apply to their use of any such course lecture notes posted on the course website by the instructor. Pursuant to the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the California Information Practices Act, and the University of California Policies Applying to the Disclosure of Information from Student Records, students at UCLA have the right to
UCLA, in accordance with Federal and State Laws and University Policies, has designated the following categories of personally identifiable information as "public information" which UCLA may release and publish without the student’s prior consent: name, address (mailing, permanent, and e-mail), telephone numbers, major field of study, dates of attendance, grade level, number of course units in which enrolled, degrees and honors received, the most recent previous educational institution attended, participation in officially recognized activities (including intercollegiate athletics), and the name, weight, and height of participants on intercollegiate athletic teams. As a matter of practice, UCLA does not publish student addresses or telephone numbers in the campus electronic directory unless released by the student. The term “public information” in this policy is synonymous with the term “directory information” in FERPA. Students who do not wish certain items (i.e., name, mailing, permanent, and/or e-mail address, telephone numbers, major field of study, dates of attendance, number of course units in which enrolled, and degrees and honors received) of this "public information" released and published may so indicate through URSA. To restrict the release and publication of the additional items in the category of "public information," complete the UCLA FERPA Restriction Request form available from the Registrar’s Office, 1113 Murphy Hall. Student records which are the subject of federal and state laws and University policies may be maintained in a variety of offices, including the Registrar’s Office, Office of the Dean of Students, UCLA Career Center, UCLA External Affairs, Graduate Division, and the offices of a student’s College or school and major department. Students are referred to the online UCLA Campus Directory which lists all the offices that may maintain student records, together with their campus address and telephone number. Students have the right to inspect their student records in any such office subject to the terms of Federal and State Laws and University Policies. Inspection of student records maintained by the Registrar’s Office is by appointment only and must be arranged three working days in advance. Call (310) 825-1091option 6 or inquire at the Registrar’s Office, 1113 Murphy Hall. A copy of federal and state laws, University policies, and the print UCLA Telephone Directory may be inspected in the office of the Information Practices Coordinator, 500 UCLA Wilshire Center. Information concerning students’ hearing rights may be obtained from the Office of the Dean of Students, 1206 Murphy Hall. To see the complete text of UCLA Policy 220, Disclosure of Information from Student Records, see http://www.adminpolicies.ucla.edu/app/Default.aspx?&id=220. In addition to the “public information” described above, information related to students’ sex and marital status, and the name(s), address(es), and telephone number(s) of their parents or next of kin, are made available to the UCLA External Affairs Department for use in alumni, development, and public relations activities. To restrict the release of this additional information, complete an External Affairs Information Restriction Request form available from the Registrar’s Office, 1113 Murphy Hall. Students should be familiar with safety instructions posted in classrooms, laboratories, and other campus facilities. Be prepared to respond safely and appropriately to a fire, earthquake, toxic spill, or accident. At UCLA, 911 is the "all-purpose" emergency phone number. You do not need to call an outside line from a campus phone, and you do not need any coins to call 911 from a pay phone. If you are calling from off campus or from a mobile phone, call (310) 825-1491. When you call 911, try to remain calm and do not hang up until you answer all of the operator’s questions. You may also obtain general instructions during a major emergency by calling the 24-hour emergency hot line at 800-900-UCLA and by listening to the UCLA emergency radio at AM 810. See the Environment, Health, and Safety website for more information. Here are some general guidelines for specific emergencies: Accident and Injury Call 911 immediately to get assistance. If you are qualified to do so, give first aid to injured persons. Do not attempt to move the seriously injured. Basic CPR, first aid, and AED training is available through the UCLA Geffen School of Medicine. For more information call (310) 267-5959 or see https://www.cpc.mednet.ucla.edu/cpc/course/heartsaver. All work-related injuries must be reported to your supervisor. In addition, any serious injuries (including fatalities) must be reported to UCLA EH&S and Cal/OSHA. Report the injury to EH&S on the 24-hour injuries report hot line at (310) 825-9797. EH&S will notify Cal/OSHA. Earthquake When an earthquake hits, take cover immediately. If you are indoors, get under a desk or table, or between seating rows in a lecture hall. DO NOT RUN OUTSIDE. If you are in a hallway or if you are outside, move to an open area quickly and drop to the ground, covering your head and neck as best you can. If you are in your car, stop carefully and stay in the car. After the shaking stops, check for injuries. Do not use telephones for personal calls, as this overloads phone lines and prevents emergency personnel from reporting injuries. After a severe quake at UCLA, department heads and emergency coordinators will lead building evacuations. Do not use elevators. Go to campus evacuation areas, which are wide open spaces like the quads, athletic fields, and uncovered parking lots. See the Environment, Health, and Safety website for a campus evacuation map. Wait for instructions before entering buildings or parking structures. Refrain from spreading rumors and do not go sightseeing. Remain calm and help others. You can learn more about earthquakes at the Environment, Health, and Safety website. Fire If you see a fire, close the door where the fire is located, activate the nearest alarm, and call 911 from a campus phone or (310) 825-1491 from off campus or a mobile phone immediately. When you sound the alarm or hear the alarm signal, get out of the building as quickly and calmly as possible. Do not use the elevators. Do not reenter the building until the all-clear signal has been given by emergency personnel. All fires must be reported. UCLA does not expect students or employees to fight fires. Use a fire extinguisher only if you have had the training and you feel it is safe to do so. Be aware of campus fire alarm and extinguisher locations before a fire occurs. Learn more about fire safety at the Environment, Health, and Safety website. Hazardous Spill Do not attempt to clean up any hazardous material spill involving chemical, radioactive, infectious, or flammable materials unless you have suitable training. If a spill occurs in a classroom or laboratory, alert the supervisor or laboratory manager. If the spill happens outdoors or in an unsupervised area, call the EH&S hotline at (310) 825-9797 or 911 from a campus telephone, or (310) 825-1491 from off campus or a mobile phone. Midterm Examinations UCLA Policy 870, II (B) 6: Midterm examinations are expected to be held during regularly-scheduled class meeting times. However, large classes with multiple sections requiring a common midterm examination can schedule examinations outside regular class meeting times on a space-available basis with the following limitations:
Final Examinations UCLA Policy 870, II (B) 7: An instructor’s method of evaluation must be announced at the beginning of the Course. Final written examinations may not exceed three hours’ duration and are given only at the times and places established and published by the department chair and the Registrar’s Office. See UCLA Senate Regulation A-332 (A) for the policy on final examinations. Instructors must submit grades no later than 10 days afte the last day of finals for Fall, Winter, and Spring terms, and no later than 10 days after the last day of any given Summer Session. Final examinations are generally held in the same room as Class meetings; however, by prior arrangement with the Registrar’s Office, common final examinations can be scheduled and extra room locations may be booked on a space-available basis. Changes in classroom location must be arranged through the Registrar’s Office. Examination codes, times, and locations are listed in the online Schedule of Classes and URSA. Alternate Examination Dates UCLA Policy 870, II (B) 8: No student shall be excused from assigned final examinations except as provided in Senate Regulation A332 or in Section 92640 of the California Education Code policy on alternate examinations. The University must accommodate requests for alternate examination dates at a time when that activity would not violate a student’s religious creed. This requirement does not apply in the event that administering the test or examination at an alternate time would impose an undue hardship which could not reasonably be avoided. Accommodation for alternate examination dates are worked out directly and on an individual basis between the student and the faculty member involved. Faculty members should remember that while it is fully at their discretion to make arrangements with individual students for alternate examination times, including final examinations, they must conduct the scheduled final examination for the Class as a whole at the times and places established by the department chair and the Registrar’s Office. Sexual Harassment The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community where all persons who participate in University programs and activities can work and learn together in an atmosphere free from all forms of harassment, exploitation, or intimidation. Every member of the University community should be aware that the University is strongly opposed to sexual harassment, and that such behavior is prohibited both by law and by University policy. The University will respond promptly and effectively to reports of sexual harassment, and will take appropriate action to prevent, to correct, and if necessary, to discipline behavior that violates this poicy. See the Sexual Harassment Prevention Office website. Definitions For detailed definitions of sexual harassment, refer to Section 102.09 of the Student Conduct Code. Complaint Resolution Experience has demonstrated that many complaints of sexual harassment can be effectively resolved through informal intervention. An individual who believes that she or he has been sexually harassed may contact the Sexual Harassment Coordinator or a Sexual Harassment Information Center counselor for help and information regarding sexual harassment complaint resolution or grievance procedures, or may file a complaint of harassment directly with the appropriate Complaint Resolutions Officer. The appropriate Complaint Resolutions Officer is deterimined by the status of the accused harasser. For further details please contact the Sexual Harassment Coordinator, Pamela Thomason, at (310) 206-3417, 2241 Murphy Hall. Other Forms of Harassment The University strives to create an environment which fosters the values of mutual respect and tolerance and is free from discrimination based on race, ethnicity, sex, religion, sexual orientation, disability, age, and other personal characteristics. Certainly harassment, in its many forms, works against those values and often corrodes a person’s sense of worth and interferes with one’s ability to participate in University programs or activities. While the University is committed to the free exchange of ideas and the full protection of free expression, the University also recognizes that words can be used in such a way that they no longer express an idea, but rather injure and intimidate, thus undermining the ability of individuals to participate in the University community. The UCLA Student Conduct Code (hereafter referred to as Code) presently prohibits a variety of conduct by students which, in certain contexts, may be regarded as harassment. For detailed definitions of harassment, refer to Section 102.11 of the Code. Harassing expression which is accompanied by physical abuse, threats of violence, or conduct that threatens the health or safety of any person on University property or in connection with official University functions may subject an offending student to University discipline under the provisions of Section 102.08 of the Code. Similarly, harassing conduct, including symbolic expression, which also involves conduct resulting in damage to or destruction of any property of the University or property of others while on University premises may subject a student violator to University discipline under the provisions of Section 102.04 of the Code. Contact, whether physical, verbal, written, face-to-face, telephonic, or by other means, that a student knows or should know is unwanted, which is communicated directly to one or more specific members of the campus community and constitutes severe and/or pervasive, and objectively offensive, conduct, can subject the offending student to University discipline under the provisions of Section 102.27 of the Code. Further, under specific circumstances described in Section 102.11 of the Code, students may be subject to University discipline for misconduct which may consist solely of expression. Information about this policy is available in the Office of the Dean of Students, 1206 Murphy Hall, or in any of the Harassment Information Centers listed below:
Complaint Resolution One of the necessary measures in our efforts to assure an atmosphere of civility and mutual respect is the establishment of procedures which provide effective informal and formal mechanisms for those who believe that they have been victims of any of the above misconduct. Many incidents of harassment and intimidation can be effectively resolved through informal means. For example, an individual may wish to confront the alleged offender immediately and firmly. An individual who chooses not to confront the alleged offender and who wishes help, advice, or information is urged to contact any of the Harassment Information Centers listed immediately above. In addition to providing support for those who believe they have been victims of harassment, Harassment Information Centers offer persons the opportunity to learn about the phenomena of harassment and intimidation; to understand the formal and informal mechanisms by which misunderstandings may be corrected and, when appropriate, student perpetrators may be disciplined; and to consider which of the available options is the most useful for the particular circumstances. With regard to Sections 102.11 and 102.27 of the Code, complainants should be aware that not all conduct which is offensive may be regarded as a violation of this Code and may, in fact, be protected expression. Thus, the application of formal institutional discipline to such protected expression may not be legally permissible. Nevertheless, the University is committed to reviewing any complaint of harassing or intimidating conduct by a student and intervening on behalf of the complainant to the extent possible. The University of California, in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and University policies, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, pregnancy (including pregnancy, childbirth, and medical conditions related to pregnancy and childbirth), physical or mental disability, medical condition (cancer-related or genetic characteristics), ances- try, marital status, age, sexual orientation, citizenship, or service in the uniformed services (including membership, application for membership, performance of service, application for service, or obligation for service in the uniformed services). The University also prohibits sexual harassment. This nondiscrimination policy covers admission, access, and treatment in University programs and activities. Inquiries regarding the University’s student-related nondiscrimination policies may be directed to the UCLA Campus Counsel, 3149 Murphy Hall, Box 951405, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1405, (310) 825-4042. Inquiries regarding nondiscrimination on the basis of disability covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 may be directed to the ADA and 504 Compliance Coordinator, A239 Murphy Hall, UCLA, Box 951405, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1405, voice (310) 825-2242, TTY (310) 206-3349, http://www.ada.ucla.edu. Students may grieve any action which they believe discriminates against them on the ground of race, color, national origin, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, disability, or age by contacting the Office of the Dean of Students, 1206 Murphy Hall. Refer to UCLA Procedure 230.1 (available in 1206 Murphy Hall or at the UCLA Administrative Policies and Procedures website) for further information and procedures. Students are responsible for observing procedures and deadlines published by the Registrar’s Office in the following publications:
Plagiarism and Student Copyright Plagiarism of any form is a violation of UCLA Student Conduct Code Section 102.01--Academic Dishonesty. Instructors are permitted to use one or more plagiarism-detection services to assist in the confirmation that the academic work submitted by a student is original work and has not been duplicated from an existing work. All class assignments are expected to be original works submitted by individual students or, if directed by the instructor, by students working in a team. Should a student purchase or other wise acquire a document from a third party (such as TermPaperExample.com) and submit such a document as original work for the class assignment, such action is plagiarism and a violation of the code. Instructors may require that all students enrolled in the class submit their work for confirmation by a plagiarism-detection service designated by the instructor. Failure by a student to submit assigned work is the equivalent, at the discretion of the instructor, to the student failing to submit the paper for grading. Students retain full copyright ownership to their academic work (UCLA Policy 965). However, if the plagiarism-detection service used by the instructor includes a protocol that the vendor retains a copy of the submitted work, such practice is approved by UCLA for the vendor’s sole purpose of comparison with other academic work subsequently submitted by others. The vendor may not use academic work submitted by UCLA students for any other purpose. Instructors are encouraged to indicate to all students at the start of the academic term whether (a) a plagiarism-detection service will be used in the class for academic assignments; and (b) whether the service will be applied to all students enrolled in the class or on a spot-check basis. Nonetheless, instructors may decide to use a plagiarism-detection service after the start of the academic term, either on an across-the-board or spot-check basis. The instructor’s discretion in such matters is final and not subject to appeal. Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the UCLA Student Conduct Code. This and other relevant documents are available on the Dean of Students Office website. The grading process for a student suspected of having engaged in plagiarism or other form of cheating is described in the Academic Senate Manual Regulations, Section 4, Paragraphs A-306 and A-315. Sexual Assault and Sexual Misconduct UCLA does not tolerate sexual assault or sexual misconduct. Where there is probable cause to believe a student has committed a sexual assault or has engaged in sexual misconduct, disciplinary action will be pursued under Sections 102.08 and 102.09 of the UCLA Student Conduct Code. Sanctions may include dismissal from the University. If a Person Has Been Sexually Assaulted Those who believe that they are the victims of sexual assault should
Utilize campus and community support services:
Caring assistance is available for persons who have been subjected to sexual assault or sexual misconduct. They are encouraged in the strongest terms to make a report. Students are members of both society and the academic community with attendant rights and responsibilities. Students are expected to make themselves aware of and comply with the law, and with University and campus policies and regulations. While many of UCLA’s policies and regulations parallel federal, state, and local laws, UCLA’s standards may be set higher. The University of California Policies Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations, and Students (UC Policies) have been incorporated into the UCLA Student Conduct Code either by adapting or inserting verbatim the language of the policies. The complete University of California Policies Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations, and Students is available at http://www.ucop.edu/ucophome/coordrev/ucpolicies/aos/toc.html. Students may contact the Office of the Dean of Students or Student Legal Services for advice concerning these policies. A. Jurisdiction The University has jurisdiction over student conduct that occurs on University property, or in connection with official University functions whether on or off University property. Although the University will not routinely invoke its disciplinary processes over student conduct that occurs off campus except in connection with an official University function, the University has discretion to exercise jurisdiction over conduct that occurs off campus and that would violate student conduct and discipline policies or regulations if the conduct had occurred on campus when (1) the alleged misconduct indicates the student poses a threat to the safety or security of any member(s) of the University community or (2) the alleged misconduct involves academic work or the forgery, alteration, or misuse of any University document, record, key, electronic device, or identification. Specifically, the University may choose to exercise jurisdiction over off-campus incidents under alternative A.1 above where the alleged misconduct involves
In determining whether or not to exercise off-campus jurisdiction in cases under alternative A.1 above, the University will consider the seriousness of the alleged misconduct; whether the alleged victim is a member of the campus community; the ability of the University to gather information, including the testimony of witnesses; or whether the off-campus conduct is part of a series of actions that occurred both on and off campus. This section is intended only to provide guidance for the exercise of discretion by the University in invoking its jurisdiction over conduct that occurs off campus. It may not be relied upon by any student charged under this section to create any rights, substantive or procedural, or as a basis for a challenge to the exercise of the University’s jurisdiction. B. Types of Misconduct Students may be disciplined for violations or attempted violations (including aiding, abetting, or participating in the planning of an act that would be in violation of the UCLA Code, whether or not the individual who carries out that act is a student). Violations include the following types of misconduct: 102.01: Academic Dishonesty. All forms of academic misconduct or research misconduct, including but not limited to cheating, fabrication or falsification, plagiarism, multiple submissions, or facilitating academic misconduct. For the purposes of the UCLA Code, the following definitions apply:
102.02: Other Forms of Dishonesty. Other forms of dishonesty, including but not limited to fabricating information or knowingly furnishing false information or reporting a false emergency to the University. 102.03: Forgery. Forgery, alteration, or misuse of any University document, record, key, electronic device, or identification. 102.04: Theft, Damage, or Destruction of Property
102.05: Computer Misuse. Theft or abuse of University computers and other University electronic communications facilities, systems, and services. Abuses include, but are not limited to, unauthorized entry, use, transfer, or tampering with the communications of others; interference with the work of others or with the operation of computer or electronic communications facilities, systems, or services; or violations of copyright laws, whether by theft, unauthorized sharing, or other misuse of copyrighted materials such as songs, movies, software, photos, or text. Violation of the UCLA E-Mail Policy and Guidelines (available at http://www.adminpolicies.ucla.edu/app/default.aspx?&id=455), of the University of California Electronic Communications Policy (available at http://www.ucop.edu/ucophome/policies/ec/), or of any other University acceptable or allowable use policy is also considered a violation of Section 102.05. 102.06: Unauthorized Use of University Resources or Name. Unauthorized entry to, possession of, receipt of, or use of any University services, equipment, resources, or properties, including the University’s name, insignia, or seal. 102.07: Violations of University Policy. Students may be subject to discipline for violation of any University policy.
102.08: Conduct that Threatens Health or Safety. Conduct that threatens the health or safety of any person, including oneself. This includes, but is not limited to, physical assault, sexual assault, sexual misconduct, domestic violence, threats that cause a person reasonably to be in sustained fear for one’s own safety or the satefy of her or his immediate family, incidents involving the use or display of a weapon likely to cause great bodily harm, and intoxication or impairment through the use of alcohol or controlled substances to the point one is unable to exercise care for one’s own safety. Sexual Assault occurs when a person knowingly causes another person to engage in a sexual act by (a) physical force, violence, threat, intimidation, and/or coercion; (b) ignoring the objections of the other person; (c) causing the other's intoxication or impairment through the use of drugs or alcohol; or (d) taking advantage of the other person's incapacitation, state of intimidation, helplessness, or other inability to consent. Situations involving physical force, violence, threat, intimidation, and/or coercion fall under the definition of Sexual Assault. Sexual Misconduct occurs when a person, having failed to take appropriate steps to gain effective consent, engages in a sexual act with another under the unreasonable belief that effective consent had been obtained. NOTE: For the purpose of this regulation, the following apply:
102.09: Sexual Harassment. Student Employees: When employed by the University of California, and acting within the course and scope of that employment, students are subject to the University of California Policy on Sexual Harassment for employees (http://www.ucop.edu/ucophome/coordrev/policy/PP021006Policy.pdf). Otherwise, the applicable standard for sexual harassment by students is conduct that is so severe and/or pervasive, and objectively offensive, in that so substantially impairs a person’s access to University programs or activities, that the person is effectively denied equal access to the University’s resources and opportunities. In compliance with UCLA Procedure 630.1, cases involving allegations of sexual harassment must be either reoslved by the Dean or heard before the Student Conduct Committee witin 60 days of the referral of the complaint. This deadline may be extended on approval from the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs. 102.10: Stalking. Stalking behavior in which a student repeatedly engages in a course of conduct directed at another person and makes a credible threat with the intent to place that person in reasonable fear for her or his safety, or the safety of her or his family; where the threat is reasonably determined by the University to seriously alarm, torment, or terrorize the person; and where the threat is additionally determined by the University to serve no legitimate purpose. 102.11: Harassment. Harassment is defined as conduct that is so severe and/or pervasive, and objectively offensive, in that so substantially impairs a person’s access to University programs or activities, that the person is effectively denied equal access to the University’s resources and opportunities. Student and/or employee sexual harassment is governed by the Policy on Sexual Harassment and the Procedures for Responding to Sexual Harassment. See section 102.09. Sanctions may be enhanced where an individual was selected for harassment because of the individual’s race, color, national or ethnic origin, citizenship, sex, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy, marital status, ancestry, service in the uniformed services, physical or mental disability, or perceived membership in any of these classifications. 102.12: Hazing. Participation in hazing or any method of initiation or preinitiation into a campus organization or other activity engaged in by the organization or members of the organization at any time that causes, or is likely to cause, physical injury or personal degradation or disgrace resulting in psychological harm to any student or other person. 102.13: Obstruction or Disruption.

Unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, use, or sale of, or the attempted manufacture, distribution, dispensing, or sale of controlled substances (including medicinal marijuana), identified in Federal and State laws or regulations, or being unable to exercise care for one’s own safety because one is under the influence of controlled substances. NOTE: This provision shall not apply to circumstances wherein the person under the influence was given a controlled substance without her or his knowledge and permission. 102.18: Alcohol. Manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, use, or sale of, or the attempted manufacture, distribution, dispensing, or sale of alcohol which is unlawful or otherwise prohibited by, or not in compliance with, University policy or campus regulations, or being unable to exercise care for one’s own safety because one is under the influence of alcohol. NOTE: This provision shall not apply to circumstances wherein the person under the influence was given alcohol without her or his knowledge and permission. 102.19: Destructive Devices. Possession, use, storage, or manufacture of explosives, firebombs, or other destructive devices. 102.20: Weapons and Replica Weapons.
102.21: Violation of Disciplinary Conditions. Violation of the conditions contained in the terms of a disciplinary action imposed under the UCLA Code. 102.22: Violation of Interim or Emergency Suspension Conditions. Violation of the conditions contained in a written Notice of Interim or Emergency Suspension issued pursuant to Section IV of the UCLA Code. 102.23: Unauthorized Use or Sale of University Materials. Except as provided herein, no student shall give, sell, or otherwise distribute to others or publish any recording made during any course presentation without the written consent of the University and the instructor/presenter. This policy is applicable to any recording in any medium, including handwritten or typed notes. Any distribution of a recording of a course presentation at UCLA that captures the actual sounds and/or images of that course presentation, in any medium, must consider not only the rights of the instructor and the University, but also those of other parties. Examples include the privacy rights of students enrolled in the course, the rights of guest lecturers, and the copyright interests in materials authored by others that are displayed or presented during the course presentation. In addition to the consent of the University and the instructor/presenter, it may be necessary to secure permission from these other parties before any recording, distribution, publication, or communication is legally permitted.
