University of Virginia Library

CONDUCT

The laws of the University require from every student decorous, sober,
and upright conduct as long as he remains a member of the University,
whether he be within the University precincts or not. Drunkenness,
gambling, and dissoluteness are strictly forbidden, and the President may
dismiss from the University any student found guilty of them, or may administer
such other discipline as seems best under the circumstances.

The President will dismiss from the University every student convicted
of public drunkenness.

In all cases of discipline, the law requires that the student must first
be informed of the objections to his conduct and afforded an opportunity
of explanation and defense.

The keeping of dogs by students within the university grounds is forbidden.

Motor driven vehicles either owned or operated by students are prohibited
from parking in the roadways and alleys of the University grounds between
the hours of 8:30 a. m. and 4:30 p. m. However, students suffering
from serious physical disability, or who live more than two miles outside the
city limits, may be granted permits to park.

Prohibition of Credit.—An act of the Legislature prohibits merchants

and others, under severe penalties, from crediting minor students. The license
to contract debts, which the President is authorized to grant, is limited
(except when the parent or guardian requests otherwise in writing) to
cases of urgent necessity.
