Student Discipline

1. As a place for further education and character development, Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP) seeks to help its students cultivate academic and personal excellence in an inclusive and supporting way, while respecting the dignity and rights of each person. NP believes in providing a healthy environment where everyone is treated with mutual respect and dignity. Thus students are expected to act and uphold the highest standards of integrity, honesty, and respect for self and others.

2. The Student Code of Conduct serves to guide students in both their academic and non-academic pursuits by providing an overview of the behaviour expected of them. It is intended to serve as a general framework and not to be treated as an exhaustive list. It is centred on three fundamental aspects:

   • Academic Integrity

   • Respect for Self and Others

   • Compliance with NP Rules and Regulations, and Singapore Laws

3. As part of the student community, each student is to assume self-responsibility for knowing and upholding the Student Code of Conduct, and is expected to conduct himself/herself in ways that promote a safe and respectful community within NP and in the greater community outside the Institution. In all activities on and off campus, students are expected to behave responsibly and in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct, in their capacity whether as organizers or participants.
