WKU Student Life Policies

All university citizens enjoy the rights and liberties assured by the constitutions of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the United States of America.  Likewise, they are subject to the responsibility and obligation to accord respect to the rights of others.

Student Life policies are intended to foster student development and responsibility.  Guided by these principles, the Office of Student Life maintains the mission of the University by ensuring that students are afforded opportunities for civic engagement with respect to the rights of others.

Students’ rights, responsibilities, and the Code of Student Conduct are outlined in the student handbook, Western Kentucky University Student Handbook, which is made available to all students through the Office of Student Life.
