Classrooms
On-site premises are, in priority, reserved for scheduled modules. Access to a classroom space
must be requested by students ahead of time. Students are asked to refrain from eating or
drinking in the classrooms.

To ensure the optimal conditions for everyone to use school equipment, participants are asked to
refrain from modifying the configurations and parameters of the computer. Students are required
to install and update virus protections. Students must respect internet etiquette.

Key principles of Internet etiquette include:
1. Respect and courtesy: Treat others online with the same respect and courtesy you expect
in face-to-face interactions. Use polite language, avoid offensive or discriminatory
remarks, and be considerate of others' feelings and opinions.
2. Clear and concise communication: Be mindful of the tone and clarity of your messages.
Use proper grammar and punctuation, avoid excessive capital letters (which can be
interpreted as shouting), and aim for concise and understandable communication.
3. Privacy and confidentiality: Respect the privacy and confidentiality of others by not
sharing personal information without permission. Be cautious with sensitive or private
information about yourself as well.
4. Mindful sharing: Before sharing content or information, consider its accuracy, relevance,
and potential impact. Give credit to the original source and respect copyright laws when
sharing content created by others.
5. Constructive criticism: When providing feedback or engaging in discussions, be
productive and avoid personal attacks. Focus on the ideas rather than attacking the
individual expressing them.
6. Mindful posting: Think before you post or comment. Avoid posting inflammatory,
offensive, or disrespectful content. Be aware that what you post can have long-lasting
consequences and can be seen by a wide audience.
7. Handling conflicts: If disagreements arise, remain calm and try to resolve conflicts
respectfully and diplomatically. Avoid engaging in heated arguments or resorting to
insults or offensive language.
8. Online safety and security: Protect your personal information, use strong passwords,
and be cautious when interacting with strangers online. Be vigilant against scams,
phishing attempts, and malware.

The Swiss School of Management reserves the right to charge a student for any subsequent repair
work resulting from the misuse of equipment.

Paper and Rubbish
Paper or rubbish on the ground at learning sites should be picked up and discarded in a nearby
garbage bin. The Swiss School of Management has a recycling policy, and students are asked to co-
operate in the drive to recycle.

Damages
In the event of damage caused by the student, parent/guardian, or any individual associated with
the student's enrollment at the Swiss School of Management the following provisions will apply:
1. Liability: The student, parent/guardian, or responsible party shall be liable for any
intentional or negligent damage caused to school property, including but not limited to
buildings, equipment, materials, and facilities.
2. Reporting of Damage: Any damage must be promptly reported to the school
administration, providing detailed information about the nature and extent of the
damage.
