===Rules of conduct===
Strict rules govern student life at BJU.<ref name=Handbook>[http://www.bju.edu/life-faith/student-handbook.pdf Student Handbook (pdf)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150712022601/http://www.bju.edu/life-faith/student-handbook.pdf |date=2015-07-12 }} ([https://web.archive.org/web/20120504235242/http://www.bju.edu/student-life/2011-student-handbook.pdf Archive])</ref> The 2015–16 Student Handbook states, "Students are to avoid any types of entertainment that could be considered immodest or that contain profanity, scatological realism, sexual perversion, erotic realism, lurid violence, occultism and false philosophical or religious assumptions." Grounds for immediate dismissal include stealing, immorality (including sex between unmarried students), possession of hard-core pornography, use of alcohol or drugs, and participating in a public demonstration for a cause the university opposes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bju.edu/life-faith/student-handbook.pdf|title=BJU Student Handbook, 2014–15, 33,52.|website=bju.edu|access-date=2015-06-26|archive-date=2015-07-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150712022601/http://www.bju.edu/life-faith/student-handbook.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> Similar "moral failures" are grounds for terminating the employment of faculty and staff. In 1998, a homosexual alumnus was threatened with arrest if he visited the campus.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ctlibrary.com/1504|title=In Brief |work=Christianity Today magazine |access-date=June 14, 2015|archive-date=June 27, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150627071110/http://www.ctlibrary.com/1504|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Men are allowed to wear polo shirts or dress shirts on weekdays until 17:00. Effective in 2018, women are no longer required to wear skirts or dresses and can now wear pants. They are also required to attend chapel three days a week, as well as at least two services per week at an approved "local fundamental church".<ref name=Handbook/>

Other rules are not based on a specific biblical passage. For instance, the Handbook notes that "there is no specific Bible command that says, 'Thou shalt not be late to class', but a student who wishes to display orderliness and concern for others will not come in late to the distraction of the teacher and other students."<ref>''BJU Day Student Handbook'', 2007–08, 7.</ref> In 2008 a campus spokesperson said that one goal of the dress code was "to teach our young people to dress professionally" on campus while giving them "the ability to...choose within the biblically accepted options of dress" when they were off campus.<ref>"BJU Changes Dress Code", ''Greenville Journal'', May 2, 2008, 18.</ref>

Additional rules include requiring resident hall students to abide by a campus curfew of 11:00 pm on class days and 12:00 am on weekends.<ref>[http://www.bju.edu/become-a-student/accepted-students/expectations/residence.php "Student Expectations", BJU website] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120125043737/http://www.bju.edu/become-a-student/accepted-students/expectations/residence.php |date=January 25, 2012 }}</ref> Students are requested to only watch movies rated G or PG during their time enrolled.
