Benedictine University Mission
Benedictine University dedicates itself to the education of undergraduate and graduate students from diverse ethnic, racial and religious backgrounds. As an academic community committed to liberal arts and professional education, distinguished and guided by its Roman Catholic tradition and Benedictine heritage, the University prepares its students for a lifetime as active, informed and responsible citizens and leaders in the world community.

Benedictine University builds its educational life and efforts on the same values that Benedictine men and women espouse:

• A search for God by oneself and with others
• A tradition of hospitality
• An appreciation for living and working in community
• A concern for the development of each person
• An emphasis on a life lived in balance
• A dedication to responsible stewardship of the earth

Purpose
The purpose of the Student Handbook is to give students, both new and returning, a reference guide to better familiarize themselves with responsibilities in the Benedictine community. The book does not and include all information about the University. If there is any information that you believe should be included in upcoming Student Handbooks, please stop by the Dean of Student Affairs office.
