The President of the University has the right under the British Columbia University Act, R.S.B.C., c. 468, s. 61, to take whatever disciplinary action is deemed to be warranted by a student's misconduct. See the UBC Calendar for specific provisions as to offences, penalties, and procedures.

Statutory Authority

The President of the University has the authority under section 61 of the University Act to deal summarily with any matter of student discipline, allowing the President to take whatever disciplinary action he or she deems to be warranted by a student's academic misconduct. The specific provisions as to Academic Misconduct and Non-Academic Misconduct do not limit, and should not be construed as limiting in any way, the general authority conferred upon the President by the University Act.
