Your Guide to Student Safety Policies and Resources

The University community should be one in which all members are treated with respect and valued for the unique contributions they make to the campus. One way of ensuring this is to make everyone aware of both their rights and responsibilities as it relates to activities on campus. "Your Right to Know" is one way in which this information is made available to students, faculty and staff. This website includes information about a number of important policies and procedures related to having a just and safe environment in which to work and learn.

UW-Eau Claire code of conduct prohibits the crimes of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. These crimes will not be tolerated and will result in sanctions up to and including expulsion.
