Policies
Duke Policies
The policies of Duke University apply to all components of Duke, including Duke University Health System, and govern the pursuit of Duke's missions - education, research and patient care.
Duke Policies apply to the entire Duke enterprise, although individual Duke Policies may be directly-relevant to only certain segments of the organization. Duke Policies are officially designated as such by their inclusion on the Duke Policy website, and are distinct from other statements and regulations promulgated as policy within schools, departments or other specific areas of the Duke enterprise that may not apply to the entire organization. If your policy question is not addressed here, please contact the Duke Office of Audit Risk and Compliance at OARC.duke.edu or 919-613-7630.

Duke University has high expectations for students’ scholarship and conduct. In accepting admission, students indicate their willingness to subscribe to and be governed by the rules and regulations of the university, which flow from the Duke Community Standard. These policies reflect the Duke Community Standard’s fundamental values—honesty, fairness, respect, and accountability.
