Webster University Student Life Policies have been written to help guide the behavior of students as members of the University community. Webster strives to be a center of academic excellence. We make every effort to ensure:

1. The opportunity for students to learn and inquire freely;
2. The protection of intellectual freedom and the rights of professors to teach;
3. The advancement of knowledge through scholarly pursuits and relevant dialogue.

The University community is by nature pluralistic and diverse. Those who elect to participate in the Webster University community accept the responsibility of sharing in the effort to achieve the University's mission as an institution of higher learning. Each person is expected to respect the objectives of the University and the views expressed within the community. In so doing, all members of the University community, and their guests, are expected to conduct themselves in an appropriate and civil manner at all times. These behavioral expectations include behavior both on- and off-campus as defined herein. Additional policies and practices or changes may evolve and the Student Handbook and Calendar may be amended, modified, or suspended at any time. Written notice of such changes will be distributed as soon as possible.
