Residence Life and Housing Services Student Conduct System

All communities need to have rules in order to maintain safety and order.  The Duke Community Standard at Duke University applies to the residence halls and apartments and is educational in nature. Its primary purpose is to help residents learn from choices they make and become positive contributors to their residential community. As members of this community, you share the obligation to establish and sustain a living environment that supports individual needs and university values.

The official statement regarding University policies and regulations is available in the Duke Community Standard guide that is provided to each first-year student and is available for review by other students on the Dean of Students website.
