Conduct

Multnomah seeks to admit students who have received salvation by faith in Jesus Christ and desire to prepare themselves for a lifetime of effective Christian ministry. A student’s registration is regarded as an agreement to abide by the institution’s specific guidelines detailed in the student handbook.

Multnomah recognizes that while such man-made regulations cannot improve an individual’s standing with Christ, they can strengthen the life and testimony of both the student and the university he or she represents. To this end, Multnomah expects undergraduate students to refrain from the use of alcoholic beverages, tobacco, drugs, sexual activity outside of heterosexual marriage and gambling in all forms. The limitation does not apply for alcohol between semesters or during the summer unless you are attending summer classes or other MU affiliated programs. Graduate students are permitted to consume alcoholic beverages off campus, but must refrain from the use of tobacco, drugs, sex outside of a heterosexual marriage, and gambling in all forms.  Students are prohibited from consuming or storing alcohol on Multnomah’s campus at all times. Multnomah is also a drug-free campus. Although marijuana has been legalized in the state of Oregon, the use, sale, possession or production of marijuana on or off Multnomah’s campus is strictly prohibited. Students who have a prescription for medical marijuana should meet with the Associate Dean of Campus Life to discuss the management of the medication while enrolled at Multnomah University. The school’s rationale for its standards of conduct, appearance, and further details concerning these standards are found in the student handbook, which is available on Multnomah’s website.

In community, our actions and attitudes do impact one another. Growth in the body of Christ often comes through accountability. Because Multnomah is a tight-knit community built on Biblical principles and comprised of growing individuals, the student conduct process exists to channel misconduct into redemptive and educational outcomes.

Student Appeals

The student handbook identifies the process through which a student can appeal decisions made by either the Student Life department or the Academic Standing Committee.

Campus Safety

Multnomah’s Campus Safety department provides continual patrol and protection of the campus. An annual report is available disclosing­ data on crimes and describing security and safety ­policies and procedures.
