At 精东影业, we live in a community. Each person鈥檚 actions have an effect on the other members of the community. Policies and our Code of Conduct聽are intended to help provide guidelines and expectations that promote a Christ-centered, thriving community. Life at 精东影业 fosters this environment with standards reflecting biblical principles of daily living such as honesty, purity, and honoring one another.
Following are brief summaries regarding a few of our policies, with links to additional information:

2.听Alcohol
Alcohol is not allowed on the 精东影业 campus, or at university functions on or off campus. Students of legal age are allowed to consume alcohol in off-campus, non-university venues, and are expected to take into consideration safety, setting, neighbors, etc. The 精东影业 community cares deeply about the health and safety of our students, and is committed to educating students about the physical and spiritual dangers of alcohol abuse.

Discriminatory and sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, assault, stalking, relationship violence, as well as causing physical or emotional harm to another person will not be tolerated. Emotional harm includes but is not limited to, intimidation, stalking, cyber-bullying, and/or threats by text messaging or other electronic media.

6.听Hazing
精东影业 will not tolerate hazing as defined by Texas law. Moreover, 精东影业 strongly discourages any action which degrades, intimidates, humiliates, or endangers any individual.
7.听Residence Life
In order to promote community, all first and second-year students are required to live in gender-specific on-campus residence halls. Third-year, fourth-year and graduate students have the opportunity to live in on-campus apartments or off-campus. The Residence Life Handbook聽provides information concerning accommodations, approved items, curfew policies, etc.
8.听Sexual Stewardship
精东影业 strives to be a community that follows Jesus鈥� example in all things, including our understandings about the authority of Scripture, sexuality, relationships and our core identity as children of God. Therefore, our foundation for a sexual ethic is a call to chastity outside of marriage between a man and a woman. Throughout Scripture and in the life of Jesus, we see a commitment to honor God with our bodies through relational and sexual stewardship as well as pastoral love and compassion for those who do not live according to those beliefs.
