Being part of SMU means being part of something bigger than yourself — a community grounded in shared values and mutual respect. Guided by the University's codes, policies, and guidelines, our students are empowered to pursue their academic and professional aspirations with integrity and a deep sense of accountability to one another. Upholding these shared standards is how we ensure that everyone on campus feels safe, supported, and able to thrive.

To support this, SMU students are guided by the ​Code of S​​tudent Conduct and the Code of Academic Int​​​egrity, which set out the behaviours expected of them in both academic and non-academic aspects of University life. Together, these documents help students understand what it means to be a responsible and valued member of our community.

Where concerns arise, the Student Disciplinary Code and Procedure provides a fair and transparent process for resolving complaints against SMU students.
