Policies and Code of Conduct
The University of Georgia Freedom of Expression Policy is designed to promote and facilitate student expression and to respect students’ constitutional rights while allowing the University to make any necessary arrangements (such as arranging march routes, providing security, avoiding multiple events at the same time and location) and ensuring that such activities do not interfere with the University’s mission and operations or with the rights of others. Additional information about the policy is available through the Office of the Dean of Students, 706-542-7774.
The Division of Student Affairs at the University of Georgia promotes a community of student learning, success and well-being. The abuse and illegal use of alcohol or other drugs jeopardize this community by placing the health and safety of individuals at risk and undermining the university’s academic mission. Therefore, we expect all students to act responsibly and in accordance with the law and the university’s code of conduct.
The UGACard is the official University of Georgia identification card for students, faculty, staff, official campus visitors, and their departments. The UGACard displays a color photograph, taken by the UGACard office (“UGACard photo”). The purpose of this policy is to prescribe the University of Georgia’s subsequent use of the UGACard photo taken of a UGA student after a UGACard is made for the student.
