I. Introduction

Welcome to Belmont University!

Helpful information and policies are within The Bruin Guide. In particular, The Bruin Guide communicates critical information about your rights and responsibilities as a student and prepares you to be successful in negotiating the policies and procedures of campus life. There are three sections to The Bruin Guide. The Governing Ideas includes a letter from the President and outlines the University’s mission statement and values. The Code of Conduct section describes our Community Commitments and the student disciplinary process, including specific policies, as well as important notices and statements. The last section, Student Engagement, offers information and direction regarding Student Clubs and Organizations, Well Core (Convocation) and event planning. Occasionally, policies will change during the academic year.

The policies and processes in these guides are the most current and supersede any other version found outside this web publication. Please continue to refer to this website for the most current version of the guides. We hope you find The Bruin Guide to be a valuable resource during your time at Belmont University.
