CODE OF CONDUCT FOR STUDENTS

Codeyoung firmly believes that student discipline leads to better learning outcomes and hence expects all students on its online learning platform to follow certain guidelines to create a positive and respectful learning environment.

  1. Be respectful towards your fellow students, instructors, and course staff. This includes avoiding discriminatory language, harassment, or any other behaviour that could be seen as disrespectful.

  2. Be accountable for your actions and responsibilities as a student. This includes attending class regularly and completing assignments on time. Further, this requires students to adhere to the limits of class cancellation and rescheduling as specified in the policies to ensure learning outcomes are consistently met.

  3. Do not engage in any behaviour that could disrupt the learning environment or interfere with the learning of others

**

CLASS SCHEDULING POLICY

Codeyoung can apply reasonable limits on class frequency (number of scheduled classes per week) for parents enrolling in subscription / instalment (monthly payment) plans to ensure that the monthly consumed classes do not exceed the amount paid. In case parents feel that the students need to take additional classes per week after enrolment, they can opt to make full payment or increase the monthly subscription amount.

CLASS CANCELLATION AND RESCHEDULING POLICY

  1. To provide a good learning experience for the students, we recommend that students should not miss any classes during the 1st 10 sessions of every course.

  2. Cancellations and class rescheduling by students will be restricted to a maximum limit of 6 sessions per 48 sessions to ensure the course learning objectives are met.

  3. Cancellation or class rescheduling up to the maximum limit can be done ONLY through the Student Portal at least 1 hour before the start of the class. No cancellations or rescheduling will be permitted after the class start time.

  4. No cancellations or class rescheduling will be permitted once the limit is exhausted.

  5. In case a student does not join classes without cancellation because of any reason, it will be treated as "Student No Show" and the class will be marked as completed

  6. The classes cancelled in advance within the maximum limit will automatically get added after the last session of the course.

  7. We sincerely request students to avoid No Show so that the valuable time of our mentors does not get wasted. Avoiding no shows will help us save and respect teacher's valuable time.

  8. "Student No Show" classes will not be separately compensated. Mentors will try their best to cover missed concepts in remaining available sessions.

  9. A student can reschedule the class on the Student Portal prior to the scheduled class time provided the teacher has available slots (only for one-on-one sessions).
