Code of Honor
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”Matthew 5:6
At Southern Virginia University you will enjoy living in an atmosphere that is conducive to feeling the Spirit of God. Although the university is not owned or operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we espouse the standards and tenets of the Church and follow a code of honor based on its teachings.
