All matters of discipline are dealt with in accordance with the University Act. Pursuant to section 61 of the Act, the President of the University has the power to suspend a student and to deal summarily with any matter of student discipline. Student Discipline at the University is governed by the Student Conduct and Discipline section of the UBC Vancouver Calendar and the Student Discipline section of the UBC Okanagan Calendar. However, the specific provisions of the UBC Calendar do not limit, and should not be construed as limiting in any way, the general authority conferred on the President by the University Act and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the President may deviate from or modify the processes set out in the Calendar at any time, either generally or for a particular case of alleged misconduct.
To advise the President on matters of academic misconduct at UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan, the President has established President’s Advisory Committees on Student Discipline. The Rules for the President’s Advisory Committee on Student Discipline set out the usual procedure to be followed when an allegation of academic misconduct is made against a UBC student.
In accordance with the Rules for the President’s Advisory Committee on Student Discipline, the Office of the University Counsel has prescribed the following forms:
- Statement of Case (for the Initiator)
- Statement of Response (for the respondent student)
