                             The Bruin Guide communicates critical information about your rights and responsibilities as a student and prepares 
                             you to be successful in negotiating the policies and procedures of campus life.  It includes the Community Code of 
                             Conduct, which describes our Community Commitments and the student disciplinary process, including specific 
                             policies reinforcing or related to the Community Commitments.  Please refer to the online Bruin Guide for the most 
                             current and accurate version of university policies.   This Student Manual is intended to supplement the Bruin Guide 
                             with information specific to your experience as a student in the College of Pharmacy.
