Student Rights
..........
  1. The university shall be open to all students who qualify under its admission standards, regardless of race, religion, national origin, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation or gender. All students have equal right of access to the public facilities and services of the university, in accordance with university policies.

  2. Students have the right to their own ideas, beliefs and political associations. Students have the right to ask questions and express their opinions without affecting their academic evaluations, as long as such do not interfere with the normal operations of their classes or infringe on the rights of other students in their classes. Instructors shall evaluate students' performances without prejudice.

  3. A student has the right to a hearing within the established university procedures, in all matters that can result in the imposition of sanctions for misconduct. Usually, a student's status within the university will not be permanently altered until final outcome of any judicial action. However, the university reserves the right to take actions to reasonably ensure safety and security, including removing and/or suspending a student from the university pending final determination of any judicial action.

  4. A student duly admitted to and registered at the university has the right to receive a clear and concise written statement concerning academic and nonacademic regulations and commitments made by the university prior to or on initial registration for classes. A student also has the right to be advised of any changes in such matters.

  5. DePaul University complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), which affords students certain rights with respect to their education records.  For additional information, please consult the Academic Policy, FERPA/Student Privacy.
