CAVEAT AND PREAMBULATORY FIRST RULE<\/h2>\n

I. THE CAVEAT<\/p>\n

There is a lot of information here below. That is because it is intended to be as comprehensive as possible, in the interest of helping you<\/strong>. There are also links to selected parts of UBC’s rules and regulations (carefully gleaned for pertinence) and to further information sources of and associated with the University: all in all, there is a lot to read. (There may also be Easter Eggs.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The “search” button and the standard “find” \/ “spotlight” functionality may be helpful.<\/p>\n

You are reminded that students are expected to be cognisant with University rules and regulations: this is part of the contractual agreement every student enters into with the University when they register. The same goes for any course and programme.<\/p>\n

\u201ctl;dr\u201d is not a defence, nor an excuse, nor generally acceptable at the university level. This is a good and positive thing because of…<\/p>\n

II. THE FIRST RULE: WE ARE ALL MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSITY<\/p>\n

You are responsible intelligent adults. I (O’Brien) expect you to read, think, act, and communicate accordingly. You should expect me and everyone else you deal with at the University to do so too: this gives parity and mutuality to our academic work and intellectual relations and interactions.<\/p>\n

UBC’s motto, tuum est\u2014<\/i>“it is yours”\u2014is a reminder of what a university is and what universities have been for their long history: a unified scholarly community, with scholars of various sorts\u2014from first-year undergraduate students to senior professors and librarians and archivists\u2014united in the adventure of scholarship. You are as much a part of that as anyone else, with the same obligations of good scholarly citizenship. We all reap the benefits: individually and immediately, and as a larger entity over a longer time.<\/p>\n
