Student Rights & Responsibilities


Know Your Rights and Responsiblities 

At the University of South Carolina Beaufort, we strive to balance the needs of individual students with the needs of the community—creating a safe, secure, and nurturing academic environment that enables all of us to discover powerful futures.

Our students are expected to make themselves aware of and abide by USCB rights and responsibilities, which can be found in the Student Code of Conduct. By joining the USCB community, each student acquires rights in, as well as responsibilities to, the entire community.
