Student Code of Conduct
When you join Al-Salam you are joining a community of like-minded individuals pursuing sacred knowledge. We expect the entire ASI community, including all staff, students and trustees, to uphold the highest morals and manners both inside and outside of the classroom. Al-Salam Institute enjoys an international reputation as an exemplary provider of Islamic knowledge. We urge you as students of knowledge to conduct yourselves at all times in a manner that does not bring ASI into disrepute. Failure to abide by these policies may result in dismissal from the course. For the purposes of classroom conduct, please note the following:
- Respect the teacher, organisers and fellow students; this includes being punctual to class.
- Treat others with kindness, consideration and honesty. Do not impose personal beliefs/expectations on others.
- Abide by the rules and instructions laid down by ASI for academic activity.
- Behave with modesty and professionalism by upholding Islamic etiquettes in communication with the opposite gender.
- Mobile phones must be turned on silent during all classes. Do not check messages, emails etc. on your phones during class unless it is an absolute necessity.
- Please observe appropriate decorum in the live chat function. Discussions should be kept on topic and should not be used for social conversation.
- Sit respectfully and upright — if you need to stretch do so briefly (off camera).
- Questions must be asked during class time or after class via Telegram. Break times and lunchtimes are for teachers as well as students.
- Personal recording of all classes are strictly prohibited. You are not permitted to make any audio or video recordings at any time. You are also not permitted to watch content from other students’ ASI accounts.
