Policies and practices of conduct are formulated with the development of spiritual and scholastic attainments in mind. The University reserves the right to request withdrawal on the part of any student who manifests an inability or disinclination to conform to the policies. Students are expected to observe the policies of conduct and have agreed to do so by making initial application for admission as a student. Policies of the University are in effect as long as a student in enrolled, both on campus and off, and during vacation periods. Failure to keep this commitment may result in a variety of disciplinary actions, including suspension from the University.
Some regulations reflect the civil law.
Some regulations involve judgements and prudence about the effects of certain practices. For example, we have regulations governing resident hall life and general campus behavior. The University reserves the right to change or add to any of the regulations designed to enhance student development. These regulations are listed in detail in the University Life Handbook and will be distributed to all students prior to enrollment. In compliance with the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1989 and Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Amendment of 1989, Olivet Nazarene University clearly prohibits the unlawful possession, use or distribution of drugs, alcohol and unlawful substances by students and employees on University property or as any part of University activities.
