Students are regularly counselled, monitored and individually cared for. Teaching and non-teaching members of the College are authorized and expected within and outside the classroom to uphold the code of conduct. The Code of Conduct and general rules and regulations in the Student Handbook outline the expectations of the institution on the way the students need to conduct themselves.

The acceptance of admission to college implies the acceptance of its rules and regulations and any deviation or violation of the same will lead to disciplinary action, which also entails fines. Students are expected to behave sensibly, courteously and with a sense of concern and respect for others.
