Harassment
Harassment is contrary to Scripture, morally wrong, and illegal (see Title IX
under the Student Appeal and Grievance Policy). We specifically forbid sexual
harassment or any threatening and offensive conduct or expressions with respect
to sex, race, color, national origin, disability, or age. Anyone who believes he/she
has been harassed by a fellow student, CIU employee, or visitor to our campus, or
knows someone who has, should report this to the dean of Student Life. All cases
will be reviewed and investigated in confidence, except as required by applicable
law.
Insider
The “Insider” is a weekly publication that keeps the CIU family aware of various
activities and events. It also lists the weekly chapel schedule. You are responsible
for information provided in the “Insider.” The “Insider” is distributed through
Lake and Surrounding Areas (including the Broad River)
The lake area and the pavilion are available for picnics and socials. Reservations

• Lake area hours are from dawn to dusk unless prior arrangements have
been made.
• Swimming is not permitted in the lake.
• To fish in the CIU lake without a state fishing license, one must either
live on campus or use only a cane pole and live bait. All others must have
a state fishing license.
• Walking on railroad property (especially the railroad tracks) and the sand
pits is prohibited by law. This includes the area between the tracks and
the Broad River.
• Canoeing and swimming in the Broad River are not permitted.
• Students should not walk alone to the lake area or the woods. These
areas could be potentially dangerous.
All students are issued an account within CIU’s online community .
Due to the important nature of much of the information sent by CIU offices to
students via the student’s @ e-mail account, students are expected
to check their account regularly. Students are responsible for information posted
at or sent to their CIU e-mail accounts. Technical assistance (opening
an account, logging in, forwarding e-mails to a preferred e-mail address, etc.) is
available online or at 807-5199.
Please check your account often; you
can even forward it to a preferred email account.
