God with all He has entrusted to us. Therefore students should:

of relationships

and maintain an atmosphere conducive to academic study and personal life
• not steal or destroy property or services belonging to the College or others,
or knowingly have possession of stolen property whether occurring on College
premises or at College sponsored activities.
• not be involved in the destruction of College property or property belonging
to others, vandalism, littering or dumping trash on College owned or controlled
grounds or common areas

use, or storage of firearms, fireworks, paintball guns, incendiary devices on
College property.
• not intentionally initiate or cause to be initiated any false report warning of
fire, explosion, or other emergency on College premises or at College sponsored

3. Practice individual integrity within the community
Bluefield College values the privileges and responsibilities as members of the larger
community of the Bluefield’s. We desire our students to be examples “in speech, in life, in
love, in faith and in purity” 1 Tim. 4:12. Therefore students should:
• respect the federal, state, and local laws and ordinances;
• respect the authorities, policies, procedures, and regulations established by the
College for the orderly administration of College activities and the welfare of the
members of the College community
• not engage in disorderly conduct, public intoxication, or lewd, indecent, or
obscene behavior on College premises, within the off campus community, or at
College sponsored events or activities.
• have tolerance and respect for the different backgrounds, personalities, beliefs,
and spiritual traditions of students, faculty, and staff who make up the Bluefield
College community
• refrain from attending establishments such as bars, nightclubs and other similar
establishments, whose primary activities are prohibited by the college.
• avoid being involved with computer misconduct by violating the computer
policy
• have a willingness to assist others in need of support, guidance, or friendship
4. Practice self-discipline
Bluefield College values growth in the areas of spiritual and emotional maturity, interpersonal
relationships and social awareness, coupled with intellectual life. Jesus tells us in John 13:25
that He has set “an example” for us. Our desire is that every student would grow into a fully
devoted follower of Christ. Therefore, this would be evidenced in their lives by not being
involved in:
• physical, mental, or emotional abuse by means of intentionally or recklessly
causing physical harm to any person on College premises or at College-sponsored
activities, or intentionally or recklessly causing a reasonable apprehension of
such harm. This includes, but is not limited to, physical assault, verbal or written
threats or abuse, racial or other forms of deliberate harassment, unlawful detention
of a person against his/her will, or hazing of any kind.
