University and Greek Policies
The Duke Community Standard
Duke University is a community of scholars and learners, committed to the principles of honesty, trustworthiness, fairness, and respect for others. Students share with faculty and staff the responsibility for promoting a climate of integrity. As citizens of this community, students are expected to adhere to these fundamental values at all times, in both their academic and non-academic endeavors.
The Pledge
Students affirm their commitment to uphold the values of the Duke University community by signing a pledge that states:
- I will not lie, cheat, or steal in my academic endeavors, nor will I accept the actions of those who do.
- I will conduct myself responsibly and honorably in all my activities as a Duke student.
The Bulletin of Information and Regulations, which outlines expectations for undergraduate behavior and procedures for adjudicating possible violations of university policy, has been updated for the 2009-10 academic year.
All first-year students receive a hard copy of the Bulletin when they move into their residence hall. Upperclass students may request a copy through the Office of Student Conduct at 919-684-6938.
The Bulletin is also available online in .pdf form at http://registrar.duke.edu/bulletins/inforeg.
