Does the honor code only apply when on campus/enrolled?

I think it applies to all students while enrolled @ BYU, not sure off campus?

Definitely applies off campus too

As long as BYU is Church owned and subsidized,

semolinaPilchard

The ecclesiastical endorsement already sets it apart as a church school.

The primary reason why CB hates on the HC office is because of sports.

You'd be crazy to think they haven't ever made some poor decisions.

Yeah of course they've made some bad decisions.

Consequences are extremely subjective. Largely based on the bishop. Same mistake

Actually the HC office has too many jerks irrespective of sports.

Coogar2

7/12/18 11:03am

I dont know the HC Office employees personally

Machiavelli

7/12/18 11:50am

People wouldn't like it even if it didn't effect sports at all.

JuicyJam

7/12/18 12:28pm

Then they should probably not attend BYU.

Machiavelli

There are too many horror stories about how the HCO has delt with people.
