Office of Student Conduct

Administrative Department

The Office of Student Conduct enforces behavior standards, addresses misconduct and promotes integrity, responsibility and a safe learning environment.

Our mission

The Office of Student Conduct (OSC) at San Francisco State helps uphold the University’s educational mission by interpreting and enforcing student conduct standards under Title V of the California Code of Regulations and Executive Order 1098. 

We ensure fair, confidential resolution of conduct cases, support student learning and ethical growth, promote academic integrity and foster a safe, respectful campus community. 

Student learning outcomes

Through the conduct process, students will: 

  • Be able to articulate why the University community is concerned with their conduct and reflect on any in-congruence between their values and their actions
  • Understand, reflect and take ownership of their actions
  • Understand that their conduct has consequences
  • Learn skills, strategies and resources that are likely to assist them in avoiding future violations of the Code of Student Conduct
  • Renew their commitment to embracing their responsibilities as members of the SFSU community and be less likely to engage in violations of the Code of Student Conduct
  • Renew their commitment to their academic careers and participate in school life that reflects positively on themselves and their campus community

Report student conduct

Reports concerning student behavior or conduct are required to be submitted through the Report Non-Academic Student Misconduct Form. Reports involving academic integrity, including grade-related concerns, must be filed using the Report Academic Student Misconduct Form.
