All communities have certain expectations and guidelines for their residents.
Without guidelines communities cannot function. As a campus community, Bluffton College also has expectations and guidelines. The Board of Trustees in cooperation with faculty, staff and students has established guidelines which support the distinctive nature of the campus community. This kind of responsibility is central to the Honor System which has existed at Bluffton for many years The Honor System is observed when taking examinations and writing research papers. Although the Honor System applies specifically to the academic area, it is understood that the spirit of the Honor System should prevade all aspects of campus life.
