Code of Conduct
All members, staff and students, of NSFTID should at all times be bound by a code of honour and dignity,
serving the common good of NSFTID above and beyond personal gain, in a spirit of honest transparency. All
members of NSFTID are required to exercise common sense and decency, and to consistently act in accordance
with these principles.
Students at NSFTID must at all times comply with any and all reasonable and lawful requests from any member
of staff or management, providing that any request made, does not represent an infringement of the student’s
basic rights, and provided that any request made serves the common good of NSFTID. Specifically, students
should be aware of the following matters, acknowledging that this list is neither exclusive nor exhaustive:
- Prejudice: Racism, sexism, or any form of discrimination will not be tolerated at NSFTID.
Politeness and courtesy: Applies to all staff members and students. Breaches of common decency will be
viewed in the same light as gross misconduct.
- Punctuality and attendance: amiliarise yourself with class and attendance requirements. Absence
and lateness is disruptive to your studies and graduation.

leaving, students must carry all their work home and keep any material that is unused or to be used later in
their respective lockers.
- Guests, family and friends, etc: You are responsible, physically and financially, for any person
you ask to be allowed into the building. Give them an overview of these rules.
- Cheating, plagiarism, copying: Infringement of others’ intellectual property rights is viewed in a
very serious light.

stimulating educational environment. NSFTID expects all to be respectful to their classmates, faculty and
vice versa at all times.

any non- prescription substance which may affect your general demeanour.

discretion. When in doubt of certain words, do not say it.

followed by strict disciplinary measures.
