Student Rights & Responsibilities

SMU requires students to review and agree to a statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities before enrolling. The statement includes three parts: Financial Rights and Responsibilities, Honor Code and Student Code of Conduct, and Appeals and Complaints.

The Student Rights and Responsibilities statement for a term will be available approximately one month before enrollment opens for the term. A printable PDF version of the statement for each term may be found below.
