Creativity is said to be the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. It is characterized by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns to make corrections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions.

One of the core values of Coal City University is creativity.  We identify the dreams of our students, their imaginations, and their ambitions then turn them into reality.

There is a saying that where there is no law, there is no sin but before an individual will conform to any law or obey any regulation, he/she must be informed.  At Coal City University, we already have set rules and procedures that we follow whenever we want to make any decision most especially as regards to students conducts on campus and we ensure that they are fair and just.

In case of any misconduct (academic and non-academic) by the students or members of staff, due process is followed before any decision is made and some of the due processes are:

• The affected person will be served with notice of the charges
• The person will be given the opportunity to present his/her side of the story

No one will be deprived the rights under due process in the university.

Coal City University is committed to striving for excellence in all its activities.  We encourage intellectual and personal growth of our students, connect theory with practice and offer the inspiration of the ability to approach problems thoughtfully, critically, ethically and creatively.

We ensure that our curriculum provides students with the best possible preparation for lifelong learning, success in their chosen profession and meaningful contributions to addressing the world’s problems and we will support areas of academic strength that take advantage of our disciplinary breadth to address the world’s problems from multiple perspectives.  The areas of emphasis include sustainability, entrepreneurship, data analytics and areas of law and policy.

In Coal City University, we are responsible and accountable to our students, staff and funding bodies for the effective conduct of our teaching and research activities, and for the efficient and proper use of the resources at our disposal.  Accountability is said to be the fact or condition of being accountable and responsible for every action taken.  Therefore, we are accountable and responsible for all our actions.

Transparency is another important core value of Coal City University.  It is important that decisions within Coal City University are consistent and made on the basis of the best available evidence and that good quality information is shared widely with an emphasis on transparency.  Therefore, we are transparent in all that we do.
