Policies and Procedures

The Office of Student Conduct is responsible for administering the Ball State Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities (PDF) which references a number of policies (including but not limited to those listed on this page). For more information on the procedures used in the Office of Student Conduct, please view our Student Conduct Overview. 

The Code informs the community of the general behavioral expectations that the University has for all students and outlines the procedures that the University uses to respond to complaints when standards are violated. Students are expected to read, understand, and adhere to these community standards.
