Campus Policies & Conduct

Key university and Luskin policies that guide student behavior, community standards, and expectations for academic and professional integrity.

“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.”

Creating a climate that is conducive to the honest exchange of ideas assists students in their pursuit of quality scholarship. While enforcement is important, you also play a major role in prevention. The side bar contains some links which are helpful in protecting academic integrity at UCLA. Academic integrity is taken seriously at UCLA. The Dean of Students Office is charged with responding when students are accused of committing a violation of policy.

Related Documents

Staff and faculty can utilize the UCLA Red Folder, developed by campus-wide offices, to assist Bruins in distress. It lists key offices, resources, and contacts to guide faculty and staff when assisting a student in crisis.

Please contact Nael Rogers at naelrogers@luskin.ucla.edu or Kevin Medina at kmedina@luskin.ucla.edu if you need further support navigating campus resources or would like consultation on a Luskin student case.

Housing Resources

A diverse array of apartments are available near the UCLA campus. The UCLA Housing Office has compiled Neighborhood Profiles  which offers links to housing in the surrounding area.

For options outside of Westwood and the surrounding areas, please search  Apartments.com, Zillow, Redfin, Trulia, RentHop, RentCafe  for Los Angeles rentals. Feel free to use other sites, such as Facebook Market and Craigslist but please do so, carefully.

The University Cooperative Housing Association provides affordable housing to qualified students, visiting scholars and faculty of UCLA. The Co-op offers reasonably priced accommodations for those who might not be able to afford alternatives.

Transportation Resources

As an alternative means of transportation to the UCLA campus and surrounding neighborhoods, explore the links below. Included in the links will be campus maps and more.

An efficient and user-friendly bus system connects UCLA to the greater Los Angeles area. Staples of transit at the University are the Santa Monica Big Blue Bus and the BruinBus shuttle service. One of the primary UCLA stops for these systems is just behind the Public Affairs building on Hilgard and Wynton.

UCLA commuters save money and shed stress by sharing rides with fellow Bruins. Those participating in ride pools are eligible for discounted parking permits.

Parking is at a premium on the UCLA campus. A limited number of individual parking permits are available to students for main campus structures and affiliated lots. The parking application process is strict and competitive, and we strongly recommend that students read the university’s parking information thoroughly and apply early.

Bicycles, motorcycles and scooters are popular and efficient ways to get to and around campus. UCLA offers free parking for these vehicles in designated areas.

Wellness & Crisis Support

“Students’ personal situations may negatively impact their well-being or academic life. In other instances, students’ actions may disturb campus community members. In these situations, Case Managers are available to receive reports of concern and help determine an appropriate response to assist the student and those who may also be impacted by the situation. Case Managers are available to consult with or provide training for campus community members who would like to better support students of concern. Case Managers must abide by FERPA laws, which means they are a private, not confidential resource.”
