Ohio Valley University is committed to transforming lives. Like most communities, Ohio Valley establishes policies that enable it to fulfill its mission. Those policies, referred to as University Regulations, enable the University:
- To cultivate a campus atmosphere that encourages spiritual, moral and intellectual growth;
- To integrate our lives around Christian principles and devotion to Jesus Christ;
- To remove whatever may hinder us from our calling as a Christ-centered academic community; and
- To encourage one another to see that living for Christ involves dependence on God's Spirit and obedience to His Word.

Additionally, the University expects students to represent its mission, purpose, and identity, whether on or off campus, and reserves the right to address any action, attitude, or lifestyle that is inconsistent with that responsibility. The following are examples of actions, attitudes, or lifestyles that are inconsistent with the University's mission, purpose, and identity: dishonesty; gambling; inappropriate language/gestures; improper use of internet; fighting; and violation of federal, state or local ordinances.
Student Life personnel reserve certain rights to aid in the enforcement of University Regulations, including enforcing those regulations while students are enrolled at the University, while students are residing on campus, and/or while students are representing the University in any capacity, whether on or off campus.
If you wish to report a violation of University regulations, you may utilize the Incident Report Form.
