Campus Minister Application

Application for Campus Ministers at Boston University

Religious leaders who are not students and who seek recognition and support of their ministry on the Boston University campus are to submit the following information to the Dean of Marsh Chapel. Boston University, through the Religious Life Council, has affirmed the right of every student to live, believe, and worship without pressure or coercion from campus religious organizations. In order to exercise ministry on the campus, leaders must affirm that they will respect the integrity and rights of every religious group and pledge not to seek conversions by deprecating other groups, or by harassment or proselytizing. Submission of this form indicates an understanding of the Religious Life Council’s policy on Standards and Expectations that guides all religious activities on the Boston University campus, and willingness to abide by it. The Standards and Expectations are available on the Religious Life page of this website.
