DRUG FREE SCHOOL REPORT
It is the policy of the university that as a condition of employment or enrollment all university personnel and students, regardless of the length of a student's program of study, completely abstain, whether on or off campus, from the possession, use, or distribution of any illegal drug, or alcohol and also abstain from the use of any controlled legal substance, without specific medical authorization, that may be harmful to the body.
On December 12, 1989, the federal government enacted the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989. As outlined in the Act, an institution of higher education, as a condition for receiving federal funds under any federal program, must certify that it has adopted and implemented a program to prevent the unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs by students and personnel. To comply with this law and further its commitment to support society’s effort to eliminate drug and alcohol abuse, BYU–Idaho has adopted this Drug-Free School Policy to supplement the Honor Code. If there is a conflict between this policy and the Honor Code, the Honor Code will be the controlling document. The BYU–Idaho Biannual Drug-Free School Report is online at www.byui.edu/DeanOfStudents/drugfree.htm.
Each currently enrolled student is provided a free campus e-mail account and may access messages through the Web at my.byui.edu. Students agree to not share their password, not send chain mail or any inappropriate material-including messages of a harassing or salacious nature, not to use their account for commercial purposes, and to keep all e-mail within the Honor Code. Students also agree not to enter the e-mail accounts of others nor send e-mail messages posing as someone they are not. Students must not harvest and provide lists of BYU-Idaho e-mail accounts to anyone. Students e-mail boxes are maintained for one full semester after the student leaves BYU-Idaho. At the beginning of the second inactive semester, inactive accounts will be deleted.

BYU–Idaho employees and students should regularly check their e-mail accounts for official information. This policy is to assure that important BYU–Idaho messages are communicated in a timely and consistent manner. The BYU–Idaho gray branding bar will distinguish official and executive campus e-mail from all others. All employee and all student e-mails are first sent to Internal Communications within Public Relations. The messages are viewed for content and appropriateness before being sent campus wide. Official BYU–Idaho e-mail will be sent within one of the following categories:
- Daily Update: A daily all-employee publication of general news and information assembled in one e-mail and sent at 4:45p.m., Monday through Friday. The BYU–Idaho gray branding bar will distinguish official and exclusive campus e-mail from all others.
- Student Update: The BYU-Idaho brand (gray bar) will banner Student Updates. Three student updates are sent as follows:
- Student Associations & Societies; sent Monday at 4:40 p.m. (Focuses on association and society messages)

ELIGIBILITY
The Dean of Students makes grade checks on all students involved in activities or events at the beginning, midterm, and close of each semester to determine their eligibility to participate.
See Review Process.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
- Academic Requirements
Eligibility to participate in BYU–Idaho events and activities is based upon cumulative GPA.

Some programs, groups, societies, associations, or organizations may establish a higher academic standard than that which has been adopted by the university.

Should students cumulative GPA fall below 2.0 or if their satisfactory progress is below 75 percent they will be placed on academic probation. The Dean of Students will notify them and program advisors or sponsors, in writing, of their ineligibility to participate in the program(s) in which they are involved. The student will be removed from probation when their cumulative GPA once again equals or exceeds 2.0 and their satisfactory progress is above 75 percent.
EXCEPTIONS TO RULES
Exceptions to the Honor Code, Dress and Grooming Standards, or housing rules and guidelines may only be made by the President’s Council, the Director of Housing, or the Dean of Students.

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) imposes specific requirements concerning student educational records upon colleges and universities receiving federal financial assistance. This Act is applicable to BYUIdaho as a recipient of federal funds under the Pell Grant and Federal Family Loan Program.
This policy is the official University statement concerning a students right to access his or her student educational records and the procedures to be followed by University personnel in response to requests for access to a students educational records.

GAMES
Video games, computer games, board games, and other similar forms of entertainment which depict violence or sex are not in harmony with the principles of the gospel and are inappropriate. Individuals should not make use of or participate in these types of activities as they are degrading, dull spiritual sensitivity, and generally do not serve an educational or uplifting purpose.
GRADE CHANGES

Students should password-lock their computer when not in use and should turn off or hibernate the computer when not in use for an extended time. Students should regularly backup the documents they create to prevent unexpected loss. Students are expected to run only legally licensed software or freeware. Students need to be suspicious of e-mail links and attachments, which can harbor or download malicious code. They should also be suspicious of any e-mail that requests their personal information, bank account numbers, passwords, etc. If students become aware of potential security breaches, they should contact the Help Desk to report the suspicion.
See Computer Passwords.
PHYSICAL INTIMACY
BYU–Idaho students are expected to maintain the highest standards of personal physical purity. Do not do anything to arouse the powerful emotions that must be expressed only in marriage. Do not participate in passionate kissing, lie on top of another person, or touch the private, sacred parts of another person’s body, with or without clothing. Do not allow anyone to do that with you. Always treat others with respect, never as an object to be used for lustful desires. Stay in areas of safety where physical feelings can easily be controlled. Do not participate in talk or activities that arouse sexual feelings.
PLAGIARISM
Academic dishonesty is defined by BYU–Idaho as an unacceptable act by any student, such as plagiarism or falsifying documents, that would give a student an advantage in admission, grading, graduating from the university, or qualifying for entrance into any academic program.
Academic dishonesty and plagiarism undermine the foundation of a gospel centered educational experience. Honesty in test taking and writing assignments should be a fundamental commitment of each student. Every member of the campus community should be united in their effort to help one another maintain their commitment and maintain their personal integrity without fail.
Plagiarism is defined as not documenting or attributing the unacknowledged appropriation of material which is not the student’s original work. It can consist of material taken from the text of a book, or an electronic publication, the Internet, or a fellow student’s work. See the Academic Honesty section for the current catalog year at www.byui.edu/catalog for information regarding possible penalties.

The division office is located in 150 Kimball. Although campus division officers have citywide jurisdiction, their specific area of responsibility is the campus of BYU–Idaho.

STUDENT REVIEW PROCEDURE
Students should assume responsibility for identifying and dealing with the appropriate university office in all matters pertaining to their educational experience. When problems are not satisfactorily resolved at those operational levels, or when the application of regular policies causes an undue hardship because of extraordinary personal circumstances, students may request a review for relief in the following manner:
- Academic Regulations
Check first with the Registrar’s Office. If the problem remains, students may file a formal petition to the Exception to the Rules Committee, stating their personal situation and reasons for an exception. Petition forms may be obtained from the Registrar’s Office, located in 190 Kimball. - Grading Disputes
Students should first confer with their instructor. If the explanation is not acceptable and the dispute remains, students may request a review by the department chair. Cases still unresolved should next be referred to the college dean and finally to the associate academic vice president, located in 210 Kimball. - Behavioral Matters
Students should follow the review procedure outlined in the Honor Code procedures listed in this handbook or contact the Dean of Students Office, located in 290 Kimball, for assistance. - Policies Concerning Housing Units
Students should work directly with the apartment managers and Housing Office, located in 196 Kimball. If not satisfactorily settled, students should appeal to the assistant vice president of Student Life, located in 207 Manwaring Center. - Personal Accounts
If a student feels that his or her financial questions or problems have not been adequately resolved in the Accounting Office, they should then visit with the director of Accounting in 130 Kimball. If the problems persist because of extraordinary circumstances, the student may appeal to the director of Financial Services, located in 290 Kimball. - Other

STUDY HOURS
See Living Standards in the Housing section.
SWEAT SUITS OR JOGGING CLOTHING
Sweat suits and jogging clothing are not appropriate classroom attire. While using the Hart Building, students must use regulation issue physical education clothing so that they may be identified as authorized users of the facilities. Physical education clothing is not permissible in any classroom situation. See Dress and Grooming in the Honor Code section.
TATTOOS
Tattoos or body art are not appropriate. Students having a pre-existing tattoo are asked to cover it so that it is not visible. “A tattoo is graffiti on the temple of the body.”
TELEVISION, VIDEO TAPES, MUSIC, POSTERS, AND INTERNET
In keeping with the ideals of BYU–Idaho and the spirit of the Honor Code, “R,” “NC-17,” and “X” rated viewing is not allowed. In addition, posters, Internet access, music, television, or “any form of entertainment, including inappropriate or suggestive dancing, concerts, movies and videocassettes, which are vulgar, immoral, inappropriate, suggestive or pornographic in any way,” no matter what the rating, violates the spirit of the Honor Code and is not acceptable (see For the Strength of Youth pamphlet, pg. 17-23). Off-campus apartment units which provide cable or satellite television service to their tenants are expected, as a condition of their BYU–Idaho approval, to exercise their option as subscribers and not provide any channels or services which bring “R,” “NC-17,” or “X” rated viewing into the homes of BYU–Idaho students. Most premium movie channels are considered inappropriate. Those that often come with basic service and must be filtered out currently include MTV and VH-1. Special events, such as major sports contests, which do not violate the Honor Code may be procured through pay-per-view channels after the cable or satellite distributor clears that event in advance with the Dean of Students Office.
The expectation of students who subscribe to cable service or Internet on their own is the same. Students in all housing units are expected to use filtered Internet access services. Students are expected to refrain from subscribing to or viewing any media that compromise their commitment to the BYU–Idaho Honor Code.

All finals given in the Testing Center are arranged by the instructor. Students should check with their instructors for exact places, dates, and closing time of tests.
