STUDENTS’ CODE OF CONDUCT & DISCIPLINE
The University like any other educational institution is established primarily for the
purpose of providing appropriate education for the student. The appropriateness of the
education that the University provides is dependent on the extent to which the education
develops the student culturally and how much of good character it inculcates in the student.
This is why University degrees are awarded to the recipients on the basis of good character and
satisfactory learning. The University is administered according to established rules and
regulations. An acceptance of admission by any student to the University automatically implies
that the student has accepted to abide by the rules and regulations of the University. As
9
contained in the 2007/2008 edition of the Student Handbook of information, issued by the
Student Affairs Division of the VCO, University of Benin, “such acceptance also carries with it an
obligation that the student shall conduct himself/herself as a law-abiding and responsible
member of the academic community, in accordance with the University’s best standards, rules
and other conditions established by the legally constituted authorities of the University”.
The Department of Adult and Non-Formal Education expects every student to maintain a
very high standard of personal integrity. The department is very conscious of the fact that its
students take courses in several other facilities especially from the faculties of Arts and the
Social Sciences. To that extent, the department expects every student to be a good
ambassador in the various servicing departments. The department, in line with the University
guidelines would penalize any serious offences bordering on acts of unethical, immoral,
dishonest, disloyal or destructive behavior, as well as violations of University regulations. It is
the responsibility of every student, not only to acquaint himself/herself with these regulations but
to join hands with the appropriate University and departmental officers to keep them at all times.
The exercise of the rights of the individual student of the University is important to the
authorities of the University, but it is not ready to compromise the welfare and integrity of the
University community in the name of individual freedom. For the avoidance of doubt, as
contained in the Student Handbook:
“It is emphasized that all members of the University community including
students are subject to the laws of the nation whether within or outside the
University premises, like all other citizens. They are expected to learn to cope
with problems intelligently, reasonably, and with understanding and consideration
for the right of others. Each member shall recognize that as he/she prizes the
rights and freedom of others for him/herself so also is he/she expected to respect
the rights and freedom of others.”
When it is established, through the due process that a student has flouted the rules and
regulations of the University, such a student would be made to face the laid down disciplinary
process.
The legal instrument for the governance of the University empowers the ViceChancellor to discipline students accordingly. The University is administered through the
committee system. Accordingly, the Vice Chancellor has delegated some powers to a category
of officers like the Deans, Heads of Departments, Hall Masters and certain other officers of the
University to dispense disciplinary measures on students for certain offences. Some of the
sanctions which may be imposed on students who violate University regulations include: Fines,
disciplinary/academic probation, loss of privileges, reimbursement, suspension, expulsion, e.t.c.

communities. The dialectalisation of a language is reviewed. The course then details and
discusses the two main kinds of language variety - the products of dialectalisation – dialects
and diatypes/registers. The concept of a situation as well as the situational variables that
condition the occurrence of linguistic features in situations will be discussed. Finally, the
analyses of the language of situation-types will be conducted.

Upcoming events to showcase the Department:
The Department will be hosting the National conference of The Nigerian National
Council for Adult Education in Nigeria (NNCAE) in November, 2015 This is the national
body for Adult Education practitioners and other allied and related discipline
practitioners in Nigeria. The Council was established in 1971 and has since remained a
voice for Adult Education and other allied matters in Nigeria.
It is interesting to note that the General Secretary of the Council, Prof. K. Kazeem, first
Vice-President, Prof. F.E.O. Omoruyi and the Editor Prof. L.A. Okukpon are all members
