As a component institution of The University of Texas System, The University of Texas at Dallas has established rules and regulations relating to its local operating policies and procedures.

The portion of these UT Dallas rules and regulations applicable to students and visitors is commonly known as Title V of UT Dallas' Handbook of Operating Procedures.

Four chapters of the Handbook are most commonly referenced for student-related issues: namely, Chapter 46 Speech, Expression and Assembly; Chapter 48: Use of University Facilities; Chapter 49: Student Discipline and Conduct; and Chapter 51: Student Grievances.

Speech, Expression and Assembly address matters related to free speech, public assembly and guest speakers.

Use of University Facilities addresses policies and procedures for reserving and use of University facilities.

Student Discipline and Conduct contains regulations for student standards of conduct, disciplinary procedures and disposition, and information pertaining to financial transactions with the University.

Student Grievances includes the University's equal educational opportunity and sexual harassment statements and the respective complaint procedures, as well as the procedure for unresolved grievances relating to a student's academic standing at UT Dallas.

The Behavior Assessment and Intervention Team reviews behavioral incidents and ensure a systematic response to students whose behavior may be disruptive or harmful to themselves or the UT Dallas community. Guidelines are also available for UT Dallas faculty and staff members on Managing Difficult Student Behavior.
