Learner Code of Conduct
Students are expected to conduct themselves at all times in a manner that demonstrates respect for School staff, fellow students, and both tangible and intangible property. This includes adhering to the outlined terms and maintaining a respectful and safe environment. Any form of aggressiveness, rudeness, bullying, or threats towards staff members or fellow students will not be tolerated and will be considered a breach of our Learner Code of Conduct.
Violations of the Student Code of Conduct, along with individual programme regulations, can amount to gross misconduct. Such violations may result in expulsion from the programme and forfeiture of all fees paid. Additionally, the School reserves the right to dismiss any student at any time for breaches of the Code of Conduct, non-payment of fees, or lack of attendance. In cases of dismissal under these circumstances, no fees will be refunded.
