CAMPUS LIFE
CAMPUS LIFE
At Eureka, education is a total experience of living and learning, combining academic
responsibilities with programs outside the classroom. The College community is
dedicated to providing quality growth experiences which enhance the development of the
student as an informed, contributing member of society. Many activities outside the
classroom are available at Eureka, and students are encouraged to participate in those
which will best complement their educational experiences.
Eureka College assumes the mature and responsible citizenship of its students. The
College believes this citizenship is best realized through personal freedom of each
individual, as well as the community building efforts of students, faculty and staff.
College standards recognize that duties and responsibilities go with freedom to insure that
rights of the College and those of students thrive in an environment of learning and
personal growth. Students assume an obligation to conduct themselves in a manner
compatible with the purpose and principles of the College. Student behavior should be
such that concern for other persons is displayed. At a minimal level this means that no
conduct on the part of any individual or group should cause harm to others or seriously
inconvenience others. At a more mature level, the principle of concern for others means
thoughtful and helpful behavior toward other persons. In any community setting, it is
necessary to agree on boundaries within which individual behavior is acceptable.
General regulations governing student life are found in the Student Handbook.
Enrollment at Eureka College is considered an implicit declaration of acceptance on the
part of the student of College regulations, both academic and social. College regulations
support local, state and Federal laws and are in compliance with the Drug-Free
Community and Schools Act of 1989, the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, and the
Campus Security Act of 1990.
