2025 - 2026 Student Handbook

Introduction

Each student at Baptist University of Florida has given evidence of above-average dedication to the Christian ethic presented in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). The practice of going beyond what is expected, in spirit as well as in service, should characterize every student's activity in and outside the classroom, on and off the campus. Anything less than personal honesty, integrity, industry, morality, and sensitivity is out of character for anyone preparing for Christian leadership and will be a factor in evaluating a student's continuance in study as a part of the BUF family.

The entire university family is encouraged to resolve any conflicts that may arise by following the Biblical teachings of Matthew 5 and Matthew 18. Conflicts are best resolved through humble confession of offenses and gracious forgiving of the same, all in the spirit of Christian love and fellowship. The Executive Director of Student Life is available to help students as they seek to resolve conflicts in this way.
