WVU Know the Code

West Virginia University requires all students to act as responsible citizens and members of our community. Each student is responsible to know, observe, abide by, and adhere to the Universities Student Code of Conduct, policies, rules, and regulations. The Code also includes many ways in which WVU supports students in times of crisis or through the Student Conduct Process.
