Student Discipline

The world around us is full of temptation and often leads individuals down a path of self-destruction. From alcohol abuse, to drug use, to illicit sexual encounters, and everything in between, we are faced with choices that inhibit our ability to become the people that God called us to be. 

At Ohio Valley University, our goal is to assist students in overcoming those challenges. We encourage our students to be non-conformists -- to free themselves from self-destructive behavior -- to contribute to our campus environment -- to make choices that are consistent with God's standards -- to be transformed.

Student Discipline is one avenue that we utilize to help students meet those objectives.  

While the Student Discipline process includes responses that are punitive in nature, punishment is not the sole purpose. Instead, all measures identified in Student Discipline (i.e., restricted status, fines, suspension, etc.) are designed to re-connect students with the mission, purpose, and identity of Ohio Valley University and to encourage them to make choices that represent those values in their daily lives.

The links below will define key words and provide an overview of the student discipline process at Ohio Valley University.
