Lifestyle Responsibilities As a Christian university, Corban is committed to providing a Christian education for life and service. It is our conviction that learning and the Christian faith are inseparable. We are committed to the Bible as our standard of faith and practice. Therefore, our students are responsible for refraining from practices that are biblically condemned and for upholding the behavioral standards of our community. These require a Corban student to abstain from sexual impurity as well as the possession and use of federally-recognized illegal drugs. Responsible use of alcohol and tobacco is permitted off-campus and only by students of legal age (21 for alcohol and 18 for tobacco). Students should use care in their choice of entertainment and refrain from all morally degrading aspects of the theater, media and literature. Students are also responsible for being faithful in church, chapel and class attendance. Are you struggling or have you struggled with lifestyle issues (drinking, smoking, drugs, sexual impurity, or degrading entertainment) that would conflict with these behavioral standards? Yes No If yes, please explain on a separate sheet of paper. Have you ever been convicted of or plea-bargained to a misdemeanor, felony or other crime? Yes No If yes, please provide an explanation.
