Instructions For Ecclesiastical Endorsement: Instructions To All Students
To help ensure that those who attend Church institutions of higher education are living by
Church standards and will continue to do so, prospective and continuing students must receive
endorsements. (Handbook 1, Section 11.4.1)
Individuals who are less active, unworthy, or under Church discipline should not be endorsed for
admission until these issues have been completely resolved and the requisite standards of
worthiness are met. (Handbook 1, Section 11.4.4)
You may only endorse individuals who are in your unit or individuals who are not members of
the Church.
Before making your endorsement decision, please review the CES Honor Code below and visit
