Academic and Behavioral Standards

As a Christian institution, Biola University is especially concerned that sound moral values are practiced in all areas of university life. Honesty in academic work is essential for personal growth and an ethical life pleasing to God.

Academic dishonesty is considered a serious offense and will be handled by individual faculty in various ways including lowered grades or possible loss of course credit. At the receipt of a second report on the same student, the Office of the Registrar will notify the school Dean or the Associate Provost for further disciplinary action. Repeated instances (2 or 3) of academic dishonesty will result in academic probation or dismissal from the university. A full statement concerning academic dishonesty can be found in the Student Handbook.
