Student Code of Conduct

EGA fosters values of honor, mutual respect, cultural sensitivity, integrity, and responsible conduct.

Students are expected to behave consistently with these principles, during in-person or virtual classes,

displaying common courtesy towards their teacher and fellow classmates. Students will use their best

efforts to listen during instruction and will not be disruptive. Students will not unduly monopolize the

teacher’s time and attention to the detriment of their fellow classmates. Students will limit contact with

the teacher to the classroom or online methods deemed acceptable by the teacher. At the discretion of

EGA, students who violate the code of conduct may be asked to leave class and/or the event.
