Considering that the coordinated development of the two has certain inherent logic, this paper starts from the theoretical basis, divides the core ethical dimensions involved in the transformation, and then builds a scientific ethical boundary system. Next, we will analyze the ethical risks existing at the data level and the technical level, as well as the deep-seated reasons for the problems arising at the technical, institutional and conceptual levels. Then, we will build an ethical governance system with clear goals, coordination among subjects and complete content. This system can provide theoretical support and practical guidance for universities to address the ethical dilemmas they encounter during digital transformation, helping them balance technological empowerment and ethical constraints, and enabling the digital transformation of student management to develop in a healthy direction.</abstract><keywords>College students, Daily behavior management, Digital transformation, Ethical boundary</keywords></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="B1" content-type="article"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>[1] Lin NC, An N, Lu Q, 2021, Research on the Digital Transformation and Optimization Path of Grassroots Governance in Fuzhou City.&amp;nbsp;Journal of Fujian University of Commerce, (6): 75-82.
