Student Responsibility to Duke University's Policies
Each student at Duke University is required as a condition of enrollment to comply with the Duke Community Standard. The University expects students and student organizations to be familiar with the Duke Community Standard. Any claim of unawareness to any of the policies will not be a valid excuse for violation of any policy. All students and student organizations are expected to adhere to any of the policies contained in the Duke Community Standard. The standards are listed in alphabetical order without a priority assigned.
Unique Circumstances for Services and Programs
In the event of a public health emergency or other circumstances beyond the University’s control—including but not limited to epidemics, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, utility failures, or labor disruptions—the University may interrupt, modify, or temporarily suspend some or all services and programs. In these situations, the University may, at its sole discretion, provide substitute services, suspend operations, and/or issue appropriate refunds. Students and student organizations are expected to comply with all University notices and guidelines implemented to mitigate risk during these events.
