Student Code of Conduct and Discipline Policy

All education policies

1. Purpose

To set clear expectations for student behaviour on and off campus and to provide a fair, proportionate disciplinary process with defined consequences for misconduct.

2. Scope

This policy applies across Future University in Egypt — all faculties, the Dental Hospital, the training Pharmaceutical Factory, student housing and administrative units — and to students, faculty, staff and, where stated, contractors and suppliers.

3. Definitions

Misconduct

Behaviour that breaches University regulations, the law or professional codes.

Due process

The fair procedure guaranteed before a disciplinary decision is taken.

4. Policy statement

• Students are expected to act with honesty, respect and responsibility, and to comply with University regulations, the law and professional codes relevant to their discipline.
• Prohibited conduct includes violence, harassment, discrimination, dishonesty, damage to property, substance misuse, and breaches of safety or professional ethics.
• Discipline follows due process: notice of the allegation, a fair hearing, the right to respond, and proportionate, consistent penalties.
• The policy operates alongside the Academic Integrity Policy and the Anti-Harassment Policy and respects students' rights.

5. Procedures

1. Alleged misconduct is reported to Student Affairs and referred to the competent faculty or University disciplinary committee.
2. The student is notified in writing, given the evidence, and heard before any decision.
3. Penalties are applied on a defined scale according to severity and recurrence, from a warning to suspension or, in the gravest cases, dismissal under the governing regulations.
4. The student may appeal the outcome through the published appeals route.

6. Roles and responsibilities

• Dean of Student Affairs — owns the student-conduct framework.
• Disciplinary Committees — hear cases and decide penalties fairly.
• Faculties — apply professional-conduct expectations where relevant.

7. Related policies

• Anti-Harassment Policy and Complaint Procedure
• Student Academic Appeals Policy

8. Legal and cultural alignment

Implements the student disciplinary provisions of Egypt's university regulations and meets the ACPE requirement for published policies defining expected behaviours and consequences for students. For professional faculties (Pharmacy, Dentistry), professional-conduct expectations also apply.

9. Monitoring and review

Reviewed at least every three years, or sooner if Egyptian law, regulations of the Supreme Council of Universities, or THE/accreditation requirements change. The policy owner is responsible for monitoring how it is applied.
