Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Coming into BYU, you know should know what you are getting into. By signing your name to the Honor Code, you are saying that you will live by strict rules, and BYU will not let you forget it. The Honor Code Office is the biggest threat on campus, and no one wants to be called by them. Students will most definitely be kicked out of school for drug and alcohol offenses, as well as possibly suspended for things such as curfew violations and being found in the bedroom of someone of the opposite sex.

Cheating is never tolerated, and plagiarism is another offense that will not only get you in the Honor Code Office, but the dean’s office as well. Students undoubtedly have fun, but they also play by the rules. Again, due to the Mormon culture, things such as cheating and lying are looked down on by peers and not tolerated by authority. If you are looking for a school where you can get away with things, be advised, this one is not for you.

BYU Honor Code

BYU Honor Code is very strict when it comes to drinking. Any student that goes to BYU is not allowed to drink whether on or off campus, whether during the semester or not. BYU believes in clear and alert minds.

Strict Honor Code

BYU is known for having a strict Honor Code which includes absolutely no drugs or alcohol, no sex before marriage, do not go into the bedroom or bathroom of the opposite gender, modest clothes, curfew, and no facial hair in the testing center. There are many other rules that similar to the standards of the LDS church and BYU is very strict in keeping those rules. For the more serious rules you have the potential possibility of getting kicked out of school, but you know the rules when you sign the honor code, so if you don't want to keep those rules then I would suggest not coming to BYU.

Honor Code Is Serious and Is Treated as Such

Drinking/using drugs and alcohol is not allowed. Period--offenders are strongly punished. Finally, a dry campus in fact as well as name! Breaking the honor code in any way--including making love to someone you are not married to--is serious and will result in serious repercutions.
