MAJOR DUTIES

 

  1. GENERAL OVERSIGHT OF HALLS OF RESIDENCE:

Coal City University provides residential facilities for all her students to ensure that they live a life of dignity which is devoid of unnecessary challenges. The Students Affairs’ unit handles the allocation of students into the Halls of Residence. However on exceptional cases, off campus status can be granted on medical grounds, marital status and employment basis if approved by management.

Our Hall allocation formula is not only gender sensitive, but it is also geared towards the required Excellence in Academics and Character.

 

To this end, the unit ensures that allocation takes into cognizance:

  1. The courses offered by students assigned to specific halls, wings, floors and rooms.
  2. The character and core-value alignment of each student – to forestall the pairing of two students with conflicting character.
  • The University’s drive for good peer mentorship and academic advising.

  1. DISCIPLINE

The unit also has in place the apparatus for the regulation of Students’ conduct and discipline. We have remained espoused to the entrenchment of discipline in our students as a core leadership value being evolved through the Students’ Affairs Department. In consonance with our culture, every case of indiscipline is always treated by the Student Disciplinary Committee (SDC), which has also always strived to operate with a deep sense of responsibility to forestall miscarriage of justice.

Each student shall be given a copy of Students’ Handbook upon admission into the hall of residence, which contains the guidelines for students’ expected conduct on campus and the penalties for their violation.

All the rules and regulations explicitly stated in the Student Handbook of Coal City University are designed to groom and not to grieve. None of the regulations put in place is with the sole intent of punishing but tailored towards polishing our products, the students. These guidelines range from alignment to proper dress code and conducts during examinations; to policies on residency. The high demand placed on discipline as a fundamental requirement for making a total graduate as embedded in the core values of Coal City University makes it imperative to pursue it with the required doggedness.
