Student Code of Conduct
Students come to the Swiss School of Management not only to acquire knowledge, techniques, and
competence but also to share the "Swiss School of Management Spirit," a manifestation of a
philosophy that has demonstrated its inherent value since its establishment. The demands of an
international context require students to be tolerant and adaptable to different cultures. This
international exposure leads to a student's professional development and personal growth. The
Swiss School of Management highlights the performance of competent, open-minded, and
adaptable individuals.

The Swiss School of Management will challenge students to reinforce individual values
indispensable to their professional success. These values include:
• rigor, manner, and cleanliness;
• punctuality, assiduity;
• motivation, dynamism; and
• team spirit.

Lifestyle
This section introduces the human elements of the "Swiss School of Management Spirit," the first
visible signs of Swiss Education.

For a visitor to the Swiss School of Management sites (including parents and potential future
employers), the initial favorable impression derives from two fundamental elements, which are
also inherent in proficiently operated organizations:
1. Immaculateness and Systematization
2. Exemplary Conduct, Immaculateness, and Systematization

Site Expectations
When arriving in Switzerland, cleanliness and orderliness are the primary encounters. The
absence of litter or refuse on the streets contributes to a pristine and pleasant environment. The
Swiss School of Management has the same principles and expectations for office and classroom
space. Everything finds its designated place, with no jackets, chairs, or coffee cups prohibited in
classrooms. Swiss School of Management sites must be treated with respect and maintained to
the Swiss School of Management standards by all staff members, faculty, and students. Do not
shout or make unnecessary noise outside – our neighbors will appreciate it. Students must not sit
on the ledge or do any other activity that can be perceived as dangerous or disrespectful of the
space.

Online Classroom Space
The same standards of cleanliness and professionalism should be seen when attending classes
online. Cameras must remain on for the entirety of the lesson. Smoking while in an online session
is strictly forbidden. Maintaining a professional backdrop in a well-lit and clean environment is
imperative and a strict school requirement. Students who attend classes online must have a
professional background and must be in a non-distracting environment to best facilitate the
learning of the student and classmates at the Swiss School of Management. Distractions in the
background must be kept to a minimum. Students should not attend lectures in a bus, car, or other
distracting environment. Students must have their cameras on during the entire module of the
lecture. Students who do not hold this standard will be removed from the session and marked
absent.
