MLM Toolbox for Students - Code of Conduct

In addition to the Utas Code of Conduct, the primary concern of the Department of Maritime and Logistics Management is knowledge development in an environment that is congenial and respectful towards all our staff and students. All our staff and students expect to be treated in a courteous and respectful manner. The successful nurturing of the continuous development of knowledge and learning depends on the ability of the Department of Maritime and Logistics Management to maintain this congenial and respectful environment. Occasionally, the behaviour of someone can make other people feel very uncomfortable and, in extreme cases, can result in distress being caused. Such behaviour can include using abusive language, including in emails or on the phone, or behaving in an aggressive or insulting way towards others. This is considered to be disruptive conduct.

Disruptive conduct will be taken very seriously and reported to the Registrar. A written warning will be served on the first instance of such behaviour. For students, any repeat behaviour will result in exclusion for at least one year from the course and may have restrictions imposed on future studies with Department of Maritime and Logistics Management. Members of staff are similarly bound by the institutional Code of Conduct.

By treating such incidents as seriously as we do, we hope to eliminate them altogether. An environment that is conducive to knowledge development and learning is our priority.
