Graduate Catalog > 19. Student Rights and Responsibilities Policy > 19.1 Students’ Rights > 19.1.8 Searches on Campus and Law Enforcement
Different rules apply when a student is on campus, and the rules are different depending on who is doing the searching – university officials or law enforcement personnel.
A search by a UD official is considered reasonable as long as the official has a reasonable suspicion that the search might uncover evidence that a student has violated a university rule. To conduct a search, a police officer requires a search warrant. Students have the right not to give their consent for a search, however, the primary objective of reaching a resolution must be the utmost consideration when deciding whether to cooperate or not.
Using and bringing drugs on campus is prohibited. Students have the right to report any suspicious activity to UD management for their own safety and security and for that of others.
