Student Code
The standards of the Association of Theological Schools and the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association require a student code of discipline. This student code covers the non-academic behavior of students enrolled at this institution. View WTU's Student Code of Discipline.
Substance Abuse
In accordance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 (PL 101-226), the following regulations are established.
- Possession, manufacture, use, distribution, exchange or sale of drugs or controlled substances by any student on the property of the school or during any institutional activity is illegal. Students engaged in such conduct may be subject to suspension, expulsion and/or termination, if determined to be engaged in this activity. Such a disciplinary action would be separate from or in addition to penalties that may flow from court disposition of such matters.
- Federal and local laws make it abundantly clear that possession of controlled substances for the purpose of sale, exchange or transfer as well as the manufacture, sale, transfer or exchange of controlled substances is prohibited and individuals responsible for violations of such laws are to be treated with severity. Involvement with controlled substances can subject a person to criminal penalties including felony conviction and often times imprisonment.
- Any student who is affected by substance abuse, or knows another student so affected, is encouraged to seek assistance from the Director of Student Life. Every effort will be made to give proper guidance and assistance or referral to professional help. To the extent possible, confidentiality will be maintained and efforts will be made to minimize class disruption if a student is undergoing treatment.
Dress Code
Students from religious communities follow the rules of their community regarding appropriate attire. Other students should follow dress norms appropriate for attendance at a theological school.
