The Bruin Guide

The Bruin Guide communicates critical information about your rights and responsibilities as a student and prepares you to be successful in negotiating the policies and procedures of campus life.  There are three sections to The Bruin Guide.  The Governing Ideas includes a letter from the President and outlines the university's mission statement and values.  The Community Code of Conduct section, describes our Community Commitments and the student disciplinary process, including specific policies reinforcing or related to the Community Commitments.  The last section, Campus Activities, offer information and direction regarding Student Organziations, Convocation, and event planning.  Occasionally, policies will change during academic year.  Please refer to this Web site for the most current and accurate version of policies.  We hope you find The Bruin Guide a valuable resource to your life and learning at Belmont.
