Student+Code+of+Conduct

UNIS has established a code of conduct for all students participating in the UNIS MUN Conference. The purpose of this code of conduct is to encourage students to engage in healthy and responsible behaviors that will enhance their participation in the event. By virtue of the fact that students have chosen to participate in this MUN Conference, it is assumed that they are serious about what will take place during this event and that they are mature enough to respect others and the expectations that have been placed on them. Failure to follow the code of conduct may result in (a) participants being suspended from further participation, (b) being sent home at their own expense, and (c) their school not being invited to future sessions. Further, non-MUN related consequences may also be enforced by the student’s own school, after the conclusion of the conference.

Activities which are hazardous to the health and safety of a student and those around him or her cannot be condoned. Policies have been developed to help students make responsible and appropriate choices. The following are some of the general policies.

The use of tobacco, drinking and/or possession of alcohol, or use and/or possession of illegal drugs are strictly forbidden during travel or while in Hanoi during the period of time covered by this UNIS activity.
 * Smoking, Alcohol and Narcotic Drugs**

**Exploration of the Local Environment & Unscheduled Activities** Any sight-seeing or travel in the host city will be done only with the permission of the host family and the student’s chaperone. Students may not participate in unscheduled activities on their own or in groups without the express permission of their respective chaperone, the Event Organizer and the host parents. Guests are expected to be considerate of how their actions may affect their host family. Clear and effective communication between host, guest and chaperone needs to be in place.

Travel to and from conference events will be provided by the host school or the host family, utilizing buses, drivers or taxis employed by the parents. Students are not to be transported in cyclos or motorbikes. Exceptions, if any, will be communicated by the host school.

There will be a 22:00 (10pm) curfew each night of the conference for all participants in the event - unless otherwise announced by the Event Organizer. Students are expected to be at their own home or at the host family home by curfew. Telephone checks for all participants, including students from Hanoi, should be made by each school on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights to enforce the curfew. Chaperones will speak to each individual student. Host families and chaperones are expected to report any curfew violations to the Event Organizer or the UNIS Director of Activities.
