Student Handbook Overview

The student handbook can serve as a map of the Butler University community—a reference guide covering a wide variety of topics. All Butler students are responsible to know and abide by the University rules, regulations, and policies that are referenced here. Additionally, this resource contains important information about the University’s student conduct process. It is to your benefit to familiarize yourself with its content.

While this student handbook is intended to be a summary of certain matters of interest to students, it is not a complete statement of all procedures, policies, rules and regulations of Butler University; the University has the right to change without notice any procedures, policies or programs that appear in the student handbook; and the various colleges and departments of the University may have their own procedures and policies that apply to students. The Butler University Policies Repository can be found at policies.butler.edu. In addition, except where expressly noted herein, this student handbook is not, nor is it intended, to create a contract between any student and the University. The terms set forth in this student handbook do not create contractual or legal rights for students.

The Dean of Students is responsible for the administration of the Student Handbook. For more information regarding its content, please contact the Office of the Dean of Students, Atherton Union 311, 317-940-9470 and deanofstudents@butler.edu.
