Community Commitments

Each student is expected to live according to Bethel University community standards as described in the Covenant for Life Together and the policies associated with campus living. Any infraction of these standards by students will be investigated in accordance with the philosophy and due process statement explained on those pages.

• The possession and/or use of drugs, alcohol, or tobacco is not permitted.

• All movies, games, and video games shown or viewed in public residence hall spaces must conform to community expectations.

• Posters and decor must be in good taste. Sexually explicit or suggestive posters are not permitted.

• Clothing that is inconsistent with Bethel’s lifestyle and community expectations is not permitted.
• At Bethel, it is not acceptable for community members to participate in events at which others from the Bethel community are violating the Covenant for Life Together or Bethel’s behavioral expectations. It is expected that students who know of or find themselves in these situations will speak to the offending student(s) about their behavior and remove themselves from the situation. They should encourage any student(s) in violation of Bethel’s Covenant to seek accountability, counsel, and help under our non-disciplinary policy.
