Discipline System
Columbia's discipline policies are designed to create an environment
in which all students can develop a sense of security, a sense of
purpose, and a sense of personal competence.
Both the school and the residence have implemented a discipline system.
Students who violate school rules are disciplined with either a demerit
or a warning, depending on the severity of the violation.
- 3 demerits = 1 warning
3 warnings = probation
4 warnings = expulsion from the residence
Warnings are given for but not limited to:
- Smoking
- Drinking alcohol
- Destroying or defacing property
- Cheating
- Lying to staff
- Showing disrespect to other ethnic groups or religions
- Harassment
- Cooking in rooms
- Thefts
Residence Curfew Hours & Privilege
All students are required to abide by the curfew hours in school residences
regardless of age, gender, or program of study. Students who ceased
to be registered full time students at Columbia International College
will be required to leave the residence buildings within 5 days.
Dress and Hair Code
Students are required to attend school in proper dress code as defined
by the school at all times. Hair coloring, head shaving and excess
jewelry for all students is not permitted. Hair should be well-groomed
in a business-like manner.
