Student Conduct Policies & Resources

Our campus is built on a foundation of mutual respect, safety, and personal integrity. This section outlines the community standards we expect all students to uphold, alongside the fundamental rights guaranteed to you as a member of our university. Here, you will find clear information on behavioral expectations, academic integrity, and the processes in place to address concerns.

Each member of a community is afforded certain rights. Likewise, each member has responsibilities to the members of that community. The Butler University community has established rights as well as rules and regulations to promote the orderly conduct of its educational programs. As an independent educational institution, Butler University is committed to educating its students academically, encouraging their personal development, and promoting their welfare. The University community can best perform its educational mission when students share with other members of the community the responsibility for orderly conduct in an environment of mutual respect. The administration of a conduct process is concerned not only with protecting the safety and well-being of the campus as a whole, but also with assuring that each student’s rights are recognized.

The aim of the Butler University student conduct process is the fair and consistent treatment of student conduct cases brought to its attention. In order to ensure the protection of the rights of the student, the University adheres to certain recognized procedures.
