As a Texas Christian University community member, you play a key role in helping the University maintain the highest ethical standards of conduct and create a safe and supportive campus community. TCU provides resources to support students in making informed choices regarding their health and safety, as well as the health and safety of other students and the larger TCU community.
In addition to our legal requirements for enforcing federal and state regulations, we provide education to ensure that TCU maintains the highest standards of compliance and to reinforce an environment free from discrimination, harassment and retaliation. These efforts guide us in our daily University activities and encourage us to respect the freedom and individuality of others as well as understand and adhere to laws applicable to higher education. Among these educational resources are online modules designed to provide critical information about our community’s expectations.
