The College will be fair and equitable and will always consider your wellbeing when determining the appropriate disciplinary outcome.
UP International College New Zealand Expectations
There are many staff who can help students with problems. You need to have courage and confidence to ask.
On campus, there is the College Code of Conduct to guide and protect everyone. This is based on respect for others and their property, and on ensuring that the Campus maintains an excellent reputation in the community. Inappropriate behaviour may reflect poorly on all students, as the business community of the city (many of whom are future employers of students) observes the standards the Campus sets and judges the Campus accordingly.
It is important that the College Code of Conduct is respected.
All students are required to follow the Code of Conduct
The Code of Conduct may, from time to time, be changed as Senior Leadership sees fit. Every effort will be made to advise students of such changes either during class or on noticeboards or digital screens. In Addition, students must respect and abide by New Zealand laws. A breach of New Zealand law is deemed to be a breach of Campus rules. A breach of these rules may ultimately result in the student concerned being removed from the College roll and required to leave. Other penalties may include a student being suspended from the Campus for number of College days.
