30 Code of Conduct

All exchange students must respect the laws and customs of the United States, the State of Indiana, and the IU Code of Conduct (https://studentcode.iu.edu/). Some of these laws, particularly those related to alcohol consumption, are stricter than those of your own country. Nevertheless, as a guest in the U.S. you are held to the same laws as other students at IU. Although you may find yourself in tempting situations, you should resist drinking if you are under 21 years of age since you can receive a steep fine. The same holds true for drug usage. A number of exchange students have had the embarrassment of being arrested, paying large fines and doing the requisite community service in these circumstances. Since you are here representing your home institution, we recommend that you uphold the local laws and customs so that your institution can be proud of you.

If any participating student’s conduct is determined to be detrimental to the best interests of the program, the student must accept termination of participation in the program with no refund of fees and take responsibility for transportation home.
