CODE OF CONDUCT

Appropriate Conduct in the English Activity Room

The primary goal of the English Activity Room is to enhance the English language proficiency of the students and the guidelines concerning the  appropriate use of the English Activity Room are formulated with this goal in mind. While almost all students have a positive and productive experience in the English Activity Room and find it a supportive and safe learning environment, we do need to establish certain guidelines for appropriate behavior.

Students’ Use of the English Activity Room - Guidelines for Responsible Use

Use of the English Activity Room is a privilege extended to the students of the Faculty of Applied Sciences to support learning and promote academic success. It provides students with access to computers, books, periodicals, and other academic help, comfortable seating, and formal and informal learning spaces. In order to keep their good standing, students must adhere to the following guidelines.

• Students should register with the fingerprint authentication system and place their fingerprints when entering the English Activity Room.
• Students are expected to behave in a civil manner that does not interfere with other people using the facility. Excessive displays of affection, struggling, and similar physical contact activities are considered a disturbance.
• Students are encouraged to use the facility for individual and group work, but students who participate in groups that become disruptive through excessive noise or other disruptive behaviors will be held accountable, individually and collectively, for their actions.
• Talking in a normal voice that does not disturb others or quiet cell phone use is permitted in the facility.
