- Campus Strictness

Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Campus strictness varies a bit since the campus police are entirely different from the Isla Vista Foot Patrol. The campus police patrol campus, but students who aren’t out-of-control or having really loud parties don’t have to worry about them too much. Off campus, the Isla Vista Foot Patrol allows big parties, but as soon as it hits midnight, and they see kegs in plain view or a foot hits the sidewalk while holding an open container, they become very strict. IVFP are also known for writing tickets for biking under the influence, being a minor in possession, or being drunk in public. The University notifies parents of tickets students recieve by sending them a copy in the mail.

As far as cheating and plagiarism, some professors are extremely adamant about checking essays and creating multiple copies of tests. Definitely do not attempt to cheat or plagiarize because you will most likely get caught, and depending on your professor, you could face major repercussions. If you take care of yourself and stay in control, you’ll be absolutely fine and never have a run-in with the Foot Patrol or the Campus Conduct Boards.

SB Is a Party School for a Reason

The police enforcement knows that there is underage drinking and it would be too hard to ticket every student on a Friday night. So, as long as you can walk & don't sit on the curbs, the cops will leave you alone. Underage drinking and drug use in the dorms is another story. If you are caught in the dorms multiple times you can be written up, then probation, then eventual expulsion.
