following exceptions:
1. Participation in University-related activities.
2. Death or serious illness in a student’s immediate family.

the start of the class, instructors have the right to refuse entry. 

7. Student classroom behavior policy

KIMEP supports the principle of freedom of expression for both instructors and students.
The university respects the rights of instructors to teach and students to learn. Maintenance of
these rights requires classroom conditions that do not impede their exercise. Student classroom
behavior that seriously interferes with either (1) the instructor’s ability to conduct the class or (2)
the ability of other students to profit from the instructional program will not be tolerated. An
individual engaging in disruptive classroom behavior will be subject to:
First offence: warning from instructor
Second offence: removal from class
Third offence: sanction by SA Disciplinary Committee.
Rules of netiquette:
Dear students, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the rules of the Internet and express your
formal consent to comply with them.
