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. No student or student organization should expect to be individually warned to conform to any of the policies contained in the Duke Community Standard.
Unique Circumstances for Services and Programs
Certain events that are beyond the University’s control may cause or require the interruption or temporary suspension of some or all services and programs customarily furnished by the University. These events include, but are not limited to, epidemics or other public health emergencies; storms, floods, earthquakes, or other natural disasters; war, terrorism, rioting, or other acts of violence; loss of power, water, or other utility services; and strikes, work stoppages, or job actions. In the face of such events, the University may, at its sole discretion, provide substitute services and programs, suspend services and programs and/or issue appropriate refunds. Such decisions shall be made at the sole discretion of the University.
