Proposed Presidential Policy Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations and Students
April 28, 2026

Dear Bruin Community:

The University of California Office of the President invites comments on a proposed Presidential Policy Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations and Students (PACAOS) 100.00 and PACAOS-Appendix H. The policy is proposed to be revised and includes the following key issues:

Incorporation of New Appendix H

  • PACAOS 100.00 formally references Appendix H
  • Appendix H establishes systemwide investigation and resolution procedures

Standardized Investigation & Resolution Framework

  • Clear systemwide procedures for investigating and resolving allegations of student and student organization misconduct
  • Defined pathways for:
    • Alternative resolution
    • Administrative resolution
    • Hearings (when suspension or dismissal is proposed)

New Sanctioning Framework

  • Updated sanction definitions and options
  • Creation of a consistent yet flexible structure for assigning sanctions and other university actions across campuses

Compliance with Assembly Bill 602 (AB 602)

  • Incorporation of required limited disciplinary amnesty for certain alcohol- and drug-related violations
  • Amnesty applies when students seek or obtain medical assistance during a medical emergency

Compliance with Assembly Bill 1575 (AB 1575)

  • Strengthened procedural protections and notice requirements
  • Updates to timelines and transparency standards
  • Alignment of PACAOS 100.00 and Appendix H with updated California law

As part of the formal systemwide review process, this proposed UC policy is posted on the APPS Under Review web page for a campuswide review and comment period. Please submit comments via the webpage no later than June 4, 2026.

The campus implementation of the interim PACAOS 100.00 and PACAOS-Appendix H is now live and accessible on the Office of Student Conduct website. Members of the campus are able to provide feedback on the interim UCLA Student Conduct Code using the MyUCLA form link on the home page of the website. The form will close on July 31, 2026.

Should you have any questions about the policy process, please contact Anna Joyce at AJoyce@compliance.ucla.edu. Thank you for taking the time to review and provide feedback.

Sincerely,

Monroe Gorden Jr.
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
