Page 58 - STUDENT HANDBOOK AY 2021-2022

Students are members of both society and the academic community with
inherent rights and responsibilities. Students are expected to comply with the
general laws, school policies, and campus regulations. Students’ behavior not
only projects their upbringing but also their education, hence, Southville
International School and Colleges wants to uphold academic and values
excellence among the students to continue the tradition of academic and
values excellence in Preschool, Grade School, and High School. Therefore,
College students are also expected to exhibit good behavior at all times.

The Discipline Policy covers students at the SISC College Division, High
School, Grade School, Preschool, International Baccalaureate Program, and
Southville Foreign University. Southville has jurisdiction over student
conduct committed in school property and within its immediate vicinity or in-
connection with official school functions whether on or off campus.

Although SISC does not routinely invoke its disciplinary processes over
student conduct that occur off-campus except in connection with official
school functions, Southville shall have discretion over conduct that occurs
off-campus if the alleged misconduct affects the good name and reputation of
the school.
