Policies

The Boston University community is at its best when guided by standards of conduct for all its members. Throughout this website you’ll find information about the expectations for Boston University students regarding their conduct. We strive to be a place where each student accepts his or her obligation to the University community and where well-defined policies, procedures, and regulations guide our behavior for the common good. This is an environment that supports individual exploration and accomplishment and promotes community. The standards we observe value personal freedoms, respect for others, and the pursuit of truth and learning.
