Laws and Ordinances

Every city or town has local laws and Oxford is no exception. It is the responsibility of each resident to know what those laws are and abide by them. The laws that most often pertain to students are gathered here to ensure students have all the information needed to live violation-free in Oxford.

In a small community like Oxford, it is very important to understand the impact that daily living and personal actions have on the community as a whole. As Miami continues a focus on integrity, both inside and outside the classroom, we expect students to build and maintain respectful community/student relations within Oxford’s neighborhoods.

Repeat offenses of noise, trash, party litter, or outdoor furniture at the same address may be treated as an alleged violation of the student code of conduct per the Good Neighbor Policy. As a consequence, all the residents of that address could be subject to disciplinary action from the Office of Community Standards.
