If the University of Lynchburg amends the Honor and Student Conduct Codes and Regulations during the period when this edition of The Hornet is effective, the amendment will be announced on the student handbook webpage, lynchburg.
The amendment will become effective 15 days after such announcement, unless the University deems that circumstances warrant immediate implementation, such as a change in law impacting University policy, a medical or public health issue, or other urgent situation.
