Student Conduct Deadline Calculator
Based on the UCSB Student Conduct Investigation & Resolution Framework and Student Conduct Code (both effective July 1, 2026).
How this works
Pick the type of decision letter you received, what you want to do about it, and the date the letter/email was issued. Deadlines are counted in business days (Monday–Friday, excluding the holidays listed below), starting the day after the date received.
Double-check dates against your actual letter and with the Office of Student Conduct — deadlines can be extended for good cause, and this tool doesn't know about extensions granted in your case.
