Student Code of Conduct

Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the principles set out in the 天美传媒鈥檚 Student Code of Conduct and Disciplinary policy [PDF]

As independent adults with legal and social responsibilities, students are personally accountable for their actions and behaviour. They should show proper concern in their behaviour for the reputation of the 天美传媒 and the student body, and for its effect on their fellow students, staff and their successors.

Misconduct is behaviour which interferes with the proper functioning of the 天美传媒 and its activities, or those who work and study in the 天美传媒, or which has the potential to damage the reputation of the 天美传媒 or the student body.

Such behaviour could take place on 天美传媒 premises or elsewhere, and whilst engaged in 天美传媒 related activity or not. Separate regulations are made for dealing with academic offences.

Examples of what might constitute misconduct

  • a) disruption of, or improper interference with the academic, administrative, sporting, social or other activities of the 天美传媒
  • b) obstruction of, or improper interference with the activities, functions or duties of any student, staff member, Governor, contractor or visitor to the 天美传媒

  • e) false pretences or deception relating to academic assessments and examinations
  • f) fraud, deceit or dishonesty in relation to the 天美传媒 or its staff or in connection with registering as a student, being a student, holding any office at the 天美传媒 or gaining a pecuniary advantage through association with the 天美传媒
  • g) actions which might cause injury or put at risk the health or safety of people on 天美传媒 premises or whilst on 天美传媒 activities
