CODE OF CONDUCT
SYMBIOSIS INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY
Article 1: PREAMBLE
The student code of conduct (Code) is established to foster and protect the core missions of
the Symbiosis International University, Nagpur, to foster the scholarly and civic development
of the University's students in a safe and secure learning environment, and to protect the
people, properties and processes that support the University and its missions. However, the
establishment and maintenance of a community where there is freedom to teach and to learn
is dependent on maintaining an appropriate sense of order that allows for the pursuit of these
objectives in an environment that is both safe and free of invidious disruption. Rules and
regulations are necessary to mark the boundaries of this needed order.
Article 2: APPLICABILITY
The Code is applicable to all students, which includes all persons taking programmes at
various constituent institutes of the University, either fulltime or part-time, pursuing
undergraduate, graduate, professional studies. Persons who withdraw after allegedly
violating the Code, who are not officially enrolled for a particular semester or term, but have
a continuing relationship with the University, or who have been notified of their acceptance
for admission are considered as “students”. The Code applies to all locations of the University.
Article 3: JURISDICTION
The Code applies to the on-campus conduct of all students at all the location / campus of the
University.
The code also applies to the off-campus conduct of students in direct connection with:
A. Academic course requirements or any credit-bearing experiences, such as internships, field
trips, study abroad / student exchange;
B. Any activity supporting pursuit of a degree, such as research at another institution or a
professional practice assignment;
C. Any activity sponsored, conducted, or authorized by the university or by registered student
organizations;
D. Any activity that causes substantial destruction of property belonging to the university or
members of the university community or causes serious harm to the health or safety of
members of the university community; or

E. Any activity in which a police report has been filed, a summons or indictment has been
issued, or an arrest has occurred for any act or omission.
Students continue to be subject to the laws of the land while at the university, and violations
of those laws may also constitute violations of the code. In such instances, the university may
proceed with university disciplinary action under the code independently of any criminal
proceeding involving the same conduct and may impose sanctions for violation of the code
even if such criminal proceeding is not yet resolved.
Article 4: RESPONSIBILITIES OF STUDENTS
Students are members of the University community and citizens of the state. As citizens,
students are responsible to the community of which they are a part, and, as students, they
are responsible to the academic community of the University.
Admission to the university carries with it the presumption that students will conduct
themselves as responsible members of the academic community. As a condition of
enrolment, all students assume responsibility to observe standards of conduct that will
contribute to the pursuit of academic goals and to the welfare of the academic community.
They are expected to practice high standards of academic and professional honesty and
integrity and also to respect the rights, privileges, and property of other members of the
academic community and the Society. They should refrain from any conduct that would
interfere with university functions or endanger the health, welfare, or safety of other persons.
As a citizen of State, a student should not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, age,
religion, gender, national or ethnic origin, marital status, sexual preference, physical
disability, or any other legally protected status. They should at all times conduct themselves
in a manner, which is not prejudicial to any law of the land. Their conduct should aim to
