University Community Principles

The University of Guelph is dedicated to the advancement of learning and the dissemination of knowledge; the intellectual, social, moral and physical development of its members; and the betterment of society (University of Guelph Act, 1964). These overall goals commit us to three central values:

  • The development of all members of this University community, which implies and affirms the dignity, worth and autonomy of the individual.

  • A focus on learning and knowledge, which upholds the fundamental importance of reasoned debate and inquiry in all of this University's academic and service functions.

  • Societal enhancement, which extends the commitment to individual development beyond the walls of the institution to the ideal of service to the broader community.
