Code of Conduct

Public Displays of Affection (PDA) Policy

Students shall refrain from all Public Displays of Affection (PDA) while on campus or while attending and/or participating in University-related activities.

PDA includes any physical contact that may make others in close proximity uncomfortable or serves as a distraction for themselves as well as innocent onlookers. Being overly affectionate on the University campus creates an environment that is not conducive to concentration and learning, can be offensive, and is generally in poor taste. Students are expected to show good taste and respect for others, which is the guideline for appropriate behaviour.

The expression of feelings towards one another is a personal concern between the two individuals and thus, should not be shared with others in the general vicinity.

Disciplinary Actions

Inappropriate Public Displays of Affection (PDA) will not be tolerated. Students found engaging in such practices are subject to the following disciplinary actions:

  • 1st Offence: Verbal Warning. Parents informed of the issue.
  • 2nd Offence: Written Warning. Parent’s conference on the issue.
  • Subsequent Offence: Possible suspension if inappropriate behaviour continues after being warned.
