Kyr Basic Responsibilities

In addition to Rights, students are also given a number of responsibilities by the UCF Golden Rule Student Handbook. They are outlined as follows:

“(a) The most basic responsibility of a student is to study and move forward in intellectual development, while taking advantage of the many opportunities provided in this University environment for total personal growth, development and maturation.

(b) Students and organizations are responsible for the observation of all University policies and regulations.

(c) Rights and freedoms in any environment are protected through exercised responsibilities and maintained through an established system for justice. The ideal balance of control for liberties is strongly weighted toward understanding and observing regulations as acts of individual responsibility, not always because of agreement, but because compliance also serves the best interests of all and helps in the completion of stated individual and University objectives.

(d) The University has compiled student-governing information in this handbook and has distributed it to help provide direction and awareness for the academic community. It is each student’s responsibility to become aware of and learn its regulatory content and procedures for dealing with problems which may arise in the course of educational progress.

(e) When University regulations are judged to no longer serve the best interests of all; the consideration for change should be introduced through appropriate channels.

(f) Within the University, emphasis is placed on the development of each individual’s recognition and acceptance of personal and social responsibilities.

(g) High ethical and moral standards of conduct are a part of the University’s mission and its contribution to the well being of society.”
