Filling the application form and registering at Middle East University constitute the student's commitment to live by the regulations set for conduct on campus.
Personal and Classroom Behavior
In order to maintain decorum
and good tact, the following regulations are enforced on campus.
• Students should refrain from indecent or disorderly behavior, improper association with the opposite gender, and the possession of pornographic or other obscene and offensive literature.
• Students are not allowed to carry firearms and/or other weapons, organize and participate in strikes, or promote their personal political views in an offensive fashion.
• Students must refrain from using profane, vulgar, or abusive language. They should use peaceful means to settle all disputes.
• Possession or distribution of alcoholic beverages, narcotics, and/or drugs is prohibited. The campus has been declared a smoke free area.
• Neatness, modesty, appropriateness, and cleanliness in dress is expected at all times.
• Mutual respect should guide all relationships between students, faculty, and staff inside and outside the classroom. Violence, harassment of individuals or groups, and disruptive classroom behavior are unacceptable.
Mobile Phones
Students are not allowed to use mobile (cellular)
phones in University buildings. Phones must be turned off during classes,
assembly meetings, and examinations. Failure to adhere to this may cause
a temporary confiscation of the phone, and/or dismissal from the meeting
place.
Sexual Harassment Policy
The University will not tolerate
any involvement by its employees or students in activities that could be
perceived as sexual harassment. Any inappropriate verbal or physical conduct
like attempts to pressure someone for sexual favors, sex-oriented comments,
teasing or jokes, unnecessary touching of an individual or display of offensive
pictures, texts, or audio-visual materials is unacceptable. If a university
employee or a student is subjected to sexual harassment, or is aware of an
incident of sexual harassment, he/she should make it clear to the offender(s)
that such behavior is not acceptable, and the incident should immediately
be reported to a University administrator.
Student Grievance Procedure
Students are encouraged to
solve all problems at the lowest possible organizational level. In the academic
area, a student who feels that he/she has been treated unfairly by a teacher
is entitled to an impartial review of the complaint. However, the student
must first appeal to the teacher in question. If a satisfactory solution
to the grievance cannot be reached, the student may take the complaint to
the chair of the department, the relevant faculty dean, and the President,
in that order. Student grievances in non-academic areas follow a similar
pattern via the immediate supervisor, relevant administrator, and finally
the President.
Disciplinary Procedure
Students that are
in breach of University policies or regulations pertaining to conduct may
be given a warning or barred from attending a class or participating in an
activity for a specified period. In cases of repeated infractions or serious
first-time offences, the case is taken to the Student Affairs Committee.
The Committee may administer warning, probation, suspension, or dismissal
from the University.
