Fuck, I thought the BYU fucking handbook was nuts
Code of Honor
In signing the Code of Honor, I fully recognize that Oral
Roberts University was founded to be and is committed to
being a Christian religious ministry and that it offers a
lifestyle of commitment to Jesus Christ of Nazareth as
personal Savior and Lord as an integral part of its
evangelistic outreach. It is therefore my personal
commitment to be a person of integrity in my attitude and
respect for what Oral Roberts University is in its calling to be
a Christian university.
1. I PLEDGE to apply myself wholeheartedly to my
intellectual pursuits and to use the full powers of
my mind for the glory of God.
2. I PLEDGE to grow in my spirit in developing my
own relationship with God.
3. I PLEDGE to develop my body with sound health
habits through the required aerobics program and
by participating in wholesome physical activities.
4. I PLEDGE to cultivate good relationships socially
with others and to seek to love others as I love
myself. I will not lie; I will not steal; I will not
curse; I will not be a talebearer. I will not cheat or
plagiarize; I will do my own academic work and
will not collaborate inappropriately with other
students on assignments.
5. I PLEDGE at all times to keep my total being under
subjection from all immoral and illegal actions and
communications, whether on or off campus. I will
not take any illegal drugs or misuse any drugs. I will
not engage in or attempt to engage in any illicit,
unscriptural sexual acts, which shall include any
homosexual activity and any sexual intercourse with
one who is not my spouse through ceremonial
marriage. I will not drink alcoholic beverages of any
kind; I will not use tobacco; I will not engage in
other behavior that is contrary to the rules and
regulations listed in the Student Handbook.
6. I PLEDGE to maintain an integrity of “openness”
to God’s claims on my life and to do my utmost to
know and follow His will for my life.
7. I PLEDGE to attend class, all required chapel
services on campus, and to attend the house of
worship of my choice wherever God is honored
and lifted up.
8. I PLEDGE to abide by the rules and regulations
that may from time to time be adopted by the
University administration. I understand Oral
Roberts University is a private school and I
therefore have no vested rights in the governing of
the school. I accept my attendance at ORU as a
PRIVILEGE and NOT a right and that the
University reserves the right to require the
withdrawal of a student at any time if in the
judgment of the President of the University or of
the University Discipline Committee such action
is deemed necessary to safeguard ORU’s ideals of
scholarship or the spiritual and moral atmosphere
of it as a Christian university.
I will keep the HONOR CODE carefully and
prayerfully. I understand that my signature is my
acceptance of the entire Code of Honor and
completes a contract between me and Oral
Roberts University, which is a prerequisite for
matriculation and my continued association with
the University and becomes a part of my
permanent file. Further, my acceptance of the
Code of Honor is a solemn vow and promise to
God as to how I will live my life.
In accepting and following the Code of Honor,
each individual commits to developing a sense of
responsibility and citizenship that enhances moral
and spiritual growth. Such qualities should be an
