Purpose:
The purpose of this Code of Conduct is to ensure a positive, safe, and respectful online learning environment for all students, educators, and staff. This policy outlines the expected standards of behavior to foster mutual respect, inclusivity, and accountability in our community.
- Respect and Professionalism
All members (students, staff, and teachers) are expected to treat each other with dignity, respect, and courtesy, regardless of background, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or disability. Personal differences must be respected, and all actions should reflect professionalism and mindfulness toward others' rights and well-being.
- Integrity and Honesty
Academic honesty is essential. Students and educators must avoid cheating, plagiarism, and any dishonest behavior. Teachers and staff should be transparent, accountable, and reliable in communications and interactions with learners and colleagues.
- Communication
Open, clear, and respectful communication is expected in all interactions, whether online or in written form (emails, assignments, etc.). Educators and staff should provide timely, constructive feedback to students.
- Confidentiality
All personal, academic, and health-related information about learners is confidential. This information must not be shared without consent, except when required by law or in an emergency. Educators and staff should maintain confidentiality regarding internal business or proprietary information.
- Attendance and Punctuality
Learners are expected to attend classes regularly and on time. Absenteeism or tardiness disrupts the learning process. Teachers should be punctual, prepared, and equipped to deliver effective instruction.
- Respect for the Online Learning Environment
Learners must adhere to online etiquette, including muting microphones when not speaking, being prepared for class, and engaging respectfully during virtual discussions. All members should contribute to maintaining a positive and focused online environment.
- Harassment and Discrimination
UNACLASS has a zero-tolerance policy for any form of discrimination, harassment, or bullying—whether based on gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or any other characteristic. Any form of harassment, including verbal abuse, physical intimidation, or cyberbullying, will be dealt with in accordance with our disciplinary procedures.
- Safety and Well-being
The physical and emotional well-being of all individuals is a priority. Teachers and staff should be trained to address issues related to student safety, including mental health concerns. Students should immediately report any safety concerns or incidents to a teacher, administrator, or counselor.
- Use of Technology
Students, staff, and teachers must use technology responsibly. This includes appropriate use of devices, software, and platforms. Students should refrain from any disruptive or inappropriate behavior online, such as distractions or content sharing. Teachers should maintain professional boundaries in online interactions, avoiding personal or unrelated content in educational settings.
- Faith-Based Learning
UNACLASS is a Christian-based platform that openly worships God. We encourage faith-based learning and allow the inclusion of scriptures, prayers in Jesus' name, and Bible-based topics in relevant classes. All content must align with our values of respect, inclusivity, and positive engagement.
- Disciplinary Actions
Violations of this Code of Conduct may result in disciplinary action, ranging from warnings to suspension or dismissal, depending on the severity of the breach. Disciplinary actions will be fair, transparent, and in accordance with UNACLASS's policies.
