The latest edition of The Duke Community Standard in Practice: A Guide for Undergraduates ("DCS Guide") was distributed in August 2017 to all students who live on campus.  Students who live off campus may pick one up on the 2nd floor of Crowell Hall (East Campus, behind Wilson dorm and the Friedl Building) during regular business hours, or may request that a copy be mailed by emailing conduct@duke.edu.  Noteworthy changes for the 2017-18 edition of the DCS Guide are detailed at the link below:
