Rules – Code of Conduct

You are obliged to take responsibility for your actions at all times and show care and respect for the premises, facilities and equipment of the University. Everyone is required to leave all class rooms, working and reading areas clean. Use the dustbins provided!

A university is a learning environment, hence it is necessary that order and quietness be observed so people can work undisturbed. The use of mobile telephones is not permitted in class rooms, study areas or computer labs. Phones should be switched to silent mode. Please give way for cleaners so they can work unhindered.

Smoking is prohibited inside the buildings of the University and near the entrances and doorways.

University buildings without electronic access systems are generally open between 7:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on weekdays. Varying opening hours apply in buildings with electronic access.

Consumption of food is not permitted in classrooms or in computer labs.

All events, such as presentations, introductions, sales and distribution of refreshments, are subject to the approval of University authorities.

Advertisements are only allowed on notice boards and electronic display devices. They must comply with regulations and general standards of decency.
