Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) Student Code of Conduct

• The Student Code of Conduct sets forth the standards of conduct expected of students who choose to join the university community. Students who violate these standards will be subject to disciplinary sanctions in order to promote their own personal development, to protect the university community, and to maintain order and stability on campus.

ACD 401: Prohibition Against Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation

• ASU expressly prohibits discrimination, harassment, and retaliation by employees, students, contractors, or agents of the university based on any protected status: race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and genetic information.

Student Disciplinary Procedures

• These procedures are followed when the University is aware of a reported violation of the Student Code of Conduct, and an investigation is conducted. Both parties are informed of the outcome of the investigation.

Grievance Process for Formal Complaint of Title IX Sexual Harassment

• These procedures are used when a formal Title IX complaint has been filed.

Notice of Prohibition on Retaliation

• Adverse actions that are reasonably likely to deter a complaining individual or others from engaging in protected activity are prohibited.

• Arizona State University's accommodation for religious practices requires faculty to reasonably accommodate religious practices of students upon request. 
• Students should make accommodation requests directly to their instructors with as much notice as possible.
• To request religious accommodations please complete our Religious Accommodation Request Form through Student Accessibility and Inclusive Learning Services.
