Code of Behaviour

Through our Equality and Diversity policies, SUPERIOR COLLEGE LONDON is committed to opposing discrimination of any kind by providing a safe, open, hospitable and fair environment for teaching and learning.

Students are expected to:

• • Behave at all times in an appropriate manner
• Attend the College the days for which their courses are scheduled for 15-18 hours per week.
• The attendance policy is to mark the register twice – once at the start of lecture and another at the end of the lecture. Students are marked “L” (LATE) if they arrive within 15 minutes of starting a lecture, if students arrive after 15 minutes the lecture has started then they are not allowed to attend that particular session and are market “A” (ABSENT). Three “L” marks are equal to one “A”.
• Inform the College immediately (or as soon as is practically possible), of any unforeseen absences by telephoning the College.
• Present themselves in a clean, tidy and respectable manner
• Submit all coursework in an acceptable format and on time

• Ensure that their actions or deeds cannot be construed as intentionally harmful or discriminatory to any other individual, especially in relation to harassment, bullying, vindictiveness etc.
