    UWC Student Code of Conduct

    Pursuing the UWC mission – to make education a force to unite people, nations, and cultures
    for peace and a sustainable future – requires a commitment to the following values: international
    and intercultural understanding, celebration of difference, personal responsibility and integrity,
    mutual responsibility and respect, compassion and service, respect for the environment, a
    sense of idealism, personal challenge, action and personal example.

    At the heart of the UWC ethos is respect for self and others in all our actions and words in all
    circumstances, including online. This means that we must think about the common good and be
    able to rise above our individual desires and needs in order to create fully integrated
    communities. In short, our ideals require good-heartedness from all members of the UWC
    community and a recognition that cultural norms are diverse.

    The common Code of Conduct is required to make expectations clear. Students who accept a
    position at a UWC school or college commit to the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, one that avoids
    potential harm to self and to others. Therefore, the following are not acceptable:
    ● Consumption, possession and/or distribution of
    ○ drugs for recreational or other non-medically prescribed purposes
    ○ tobacco, vaping and other related products
    ○ alcohol on school property and school sponsored activities
    ● Sexual activity in student rooms and any other shared or public spaces
    ● Violence of any kind including hazing, bullying, harassment or any other form of
    abuse
    ● Assault, including but not limited to verbal, physical and sexual
    ● Stealing or “borrowing without permission”
    Each school or college will have clear expectations regarding:
    ● Attendance (at all classes and activities)
    ● Academic integrity
    ● Respect for curfew and/or quiet times
    ● Alcohol ‘off campus’

    Individual UWC schools and colleges may have additional standards on these issues that reflect
    the laws, cultural norms and circumstances of the country in which they are located. The
    expectation is that the UWC Common Code of Conduct will be followed both in action and spirit.
    Those who breach the Code may lose the right to remain in their UWC school or college.

    Adopted by the UWC International Board as “UWC Common Code of Conduct” on 17 October 2010
    Accepted and reviewed by the Heads Committee in March 2019 as “UWC Student Code of Conduct”
    and by the UWC International Board in July 2019
