Student Policy

All students at Salaam University are responsible for conducting in a manner that enhances an environment of learning in which the rights, dignity, worth, and freedom of each member of the academic community are respected. Violations of University policies, rules or regulations may result in imposition of punishment.

The University holds the authority to maintain order and discipline among its students. Authority for student discipline rests with the University administration through the Student Affairs Office, which acts on behalf of the University to address conduct that violates University policies, rules, or regulations.

Misconduct is any behaviour by a student that disrupts the academic environment, violates University policies, or infringes upon the rights, dignity, worth, and freedom of other members of the academic community. Misconduct may be academic or non-academic in nature and is subject to disciplinary action by the University.

Students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that supports an environment of learning. Behaviour that disrupts lectures, tutorials, or any other instructional activity is not permitted. Students must respect the instructor and fellow students at all times and follow the reasonable instructions of teaching staff in the classroom.

Any member of the academic community may report suspected misconduct to the Student Affairs Office. Reports are reviewed and, where appropriate, investigated by the University. Students reported for misconduct are given the opportunity to respond before any disciplinary decision is made.

Academic misconduct includes any dishonest behaviour in connection with academic work, such as cheating in examinations, plagiarism, fabrication of data, collusion, or impersonation. Academic misconduct undermines the integrity of the University's qualifications and is treated as a serious violation subject to disciplinary action.

The University respects the privacy of its students and protects the personal and academic information it holds. Student records are kept confidential and are released only in accordance with University policy and applicable regulations.
