* be punctual ;

* appear neat and tidy at all times;
* treat fellow students, lecturers, Centre staff and visitors with courtesy and respect;
* switch off mobile phones, unless there are exceptional circumstances;

Students must not:

* drink alcohol or yaqona, smoke any substance on campus;

* eat, drink or smoke in the classroom (bottled water excepted);

* attend class under the influence of any substance;

* install unauthorised software or make unauthorised access to the Internet;

Attendance

Students are expected to attend all classes punctually. Absence, lateness and leaving early will be recorded. If absenteeism becomes a problem, students may be asked to discuss their absence with their lecturer. If classes are missed, it is the student's responsibility to obtain and complete the work.

Discipline

Counseling will precede any disciplinary action. Initially, discipline will take the form of discussion between student and lecturer. If behaviour and/or performance does not improve, the student will be asked to sign a contract or go on probation under the supervision of the Centre Director.

However, a student may be asked to leave NZPTC for:

* breach of contract/probation
* continual absence
* refusal to submit assignments
* persistent cheating or plagiarism
* stealing
* conviction of any crimes
* inciting or practicing violence on campus
* failure to pay fees or charges.

All disciplinary action is open to appeal through the Centre Director, Director Operations or CEO.

Complaints/Problems

If a problem occurs in relation to a particular subject, the student is expected to address the lecturer concerned before any other action is taken. Students have the right to discuss any issue involving classroom delivery with their lecturer in a mutually respectful manner. If this is not satisfactory, the student may consult the relevant programme co-ordinator and then, if necessary, the Centre Director.

Harassment

Any form of harassment will constitute a serious breach of conduct. If you feel you are being harassed by someone, or if someone is saying or doing things that make you uncomfortable, please refer the matter to your programme manager. Firm and appropriate action will be taken.
