Code of Conduct
ALHOSN University stands for the human dignity and worth of every person. We believe, therefore, in
values that foster the human respect needed for people to live, work, study and recreate together as a
community. Living these values requires each of us to make an effort towards building a campus
community that will be known for love of truth, active care and concern for the common good and
selfless sacrifice towards others.
Good order is a sign that a community is working to achieve the goals it has set for itself. When order is
absent or disrupted, not only are individuals harmed, but the community suffers too. To acquire
these goals, ALHOSN University has a discipline system, which promotes the well being of individuals
and groups who make up the campus community. This discipline system is concerned with fostering
community in two ways. First, it encourages a sense of the common good among members of the
campus community by setting standards of behavior that appropriately reflect the character and
purpose of ALHOSN University. Second, it establishes a system to be used when someone
compromises those standards in any way that undermines the common good. In both of these
purposes, the discipline system participates in the educational mission of ALHOSN University, helping
students grow into more responsible persons.
Rules and regulations provide the basis for a reasonably ordered campus life. The mere observance of
rules, however, without the cooperation and personal appropriation of the values they protect, falls
short of what ALHOSN University hopes for everyone who is part of the campus community.
Honesty, integrity, responsibility, and respect for persons and property, especially property belonging to
the community, identify members of the ALHOSN University community. Acting against these
values diminishes the understanding of community. Such action, because of the injury it does to the
community, is taken seriously and is handled fairly yet firmly.
Class Schedule and Attendance
Only officially registered students should be permitted to attend classes. Appropriate proof of student
