Mary Baldwin University is committed to fostering a campus environment that is conducive to genuine learning and personal/professional development. The Mary Baldwin University Code of Student Conduct identifies the rules governing student conduct and the procedures employed to investigate and resolve alleged violations of the Code. MBU’s community standards processes are educational and developmental, balancing the interests of individual students with the interests of the MBU community.
A community exists on the basis of shared values and principles. Each member of the MBU community bears responsibility for their conduct. All Mary Baldwin students are expected to be familiar with the Honor Code, Student Code and the Title IX policies and to conduct themselves in accordance with each.
Honor Pledge

I shall endeavor faithfully to order my life accordingly. I will not lie, cheat, steal, plagiarize, or violate my pledge of confidentiality. I will encourage others to fulfill the ideals of the Honor System and will meet my responsibility to the community by reporting incidents of Honor offenses.”
Judicial Pledge

Under the guidance of the Division of Student Engagement, the Student Conduct Board is charged with the primary responsibility to regulate matters of student conduct in the university community. All student inquiries concerning the Code should be directed to the current Student Conduct Board Chair or to the Student Conduct Board’s Advisor.
