The University is Christian-oriented but not sectarian. Each year, many
religiousdenominationsandfaithsarerepresentedoncampus.However,itis
expected that all those who attend the University will be sympathetic to its
statedpurposes.
Campbell, as a Baptist university, is committed to teaching students to think
with Christian values as their basic guidelines. Accordingly, it is incumbent
upon the University to provide its students with an honor code that, in its
observance,makesmorenearlypossibleanenvironmentwherebythestudent

To perpetuate these Christian ideals and principles, it is the responsibility of
each student to maintain a high standard of personal behavior. Thus, once a
student matriculates at Campbell University, he/she should demonstrate a
willingness to abide by the following Honor Code while a member of the
studentbody.
