Code of Honor
The Code of Honor of Campbell University arises directly out of the institution’s Statement of Purpose.
The basic principles which guide the development of Christian character and govern Christian behavior are to be found in the Scriptures. Moral law is the gift of God and is fully revealed in the teachings of Jesus Christ.
The student, by virtue of his enrollment, agrees to abide by the rules and moral precepts which govern the University community. Because of the University’s commitment to the lordship of Christ over every area of life, wholehearted obedience to moral law as set forth in the Old and New Testaments and exemplified in the life of Christ applies to every member of the University community, regardless of position.
While the Bible does not provide specific teaching regarding all social practices, its emphasis on general principles is unmistakable, particularly in circumstances where lack of selfrestraint would be harmful or offensive to others. Out of these general principles come certain concrete expectations which should be viewed not negatively but as practical guidelines for conduct and for a productive way of life?
1. To uphold at all times and in all places, both on and off campus, the University’s Mission Statement.
2. To protect the personal rights of others, refraining from any physical or verbal abuse and exemplifying courtesy, consideration, and respect.
3. To protect the property rights of others from theft, damage, or misuse.
4. To adhere to all university policies and regulations, including the rules governing the use of facilities, housing on and off the campus, and campus organizations.
