Student Requirements & Policies
SELF-DISCIPLINE
KSI believes that acquiring self-discipline is part of the educational process. As in any civic
community, students will be held accountable for their own conduct. They are therefore responsible
for any damage they may do to the school property and/or dorms and should observe satisfactory
standards of conduct both on and off campus. Complaints of student misconduct are handled
by the Committee on Discipline. Students are expected to keep themselves informed of all school
regulations.
