Code of Conduct

1. Purpose

The Student Code of Conduct establishes the standards of conduct expected of learners of Immanuel Theology Educational Institute International.

Immanuel is a Christian theological training institution committed to promoting Christian values and Christ-like conduct. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects respect for God, fellow Christians, fellow students, lecturers, staff and the wider community.

Good conduct is regarded as an important part of Christian growth and progress, particularly as students represent the Body of Christ in their communities and in the world.

2. Christian Conduct

Students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that honours God and reflects the Christian character and values of Immanuel.

Students are encouraged to maintain a life of prayer, worship, respect and Christian responsibility.

The Prospectus states that good conduct contributes to Christian growth and progress and that students should demonstrate respect towards God, fellow Christians and Church members.

3. Respect for Others

Students are expected to treat fellow students, lecturers, staff, church members and other persons associated with Immanuel with dignity and respect.

Disrespectful attitudes, intimidation, harassment, violence or behaviour that undermines the dignity and safety of another person are not acceptable.

Students are expected to maintain respectful communication whether participating in person, through online learning, electronic communication or other Immanuel activities.

4. Unacceptable Conduct

Immanuel expects learners who enrol with the Institute to be free from habitual conduct that is inconsistent with the standards established by the Institute.

The 2026 Prospectus specifically identifies the following conduct as unacceptable:

• Substance abuse
• Smoking
• Drinking
• Shouting
• Sexual harassment
• Gender violence
• Horseplay
• Disrespectful attitudes towards fellow students and superiors

Students are expected to take responsibility for their conduct and to uphold the standards of Immanuel throughout their studies.

5. Academic and Student Responsibility

Students are responsible for conducting themselves appropriately throughout their studies and for following the academic and administrative requirements communicated by Immanuel.

Students are also responsible for treating Immanuel’s learning environment, materials, staff and fellow students with respect.

As an internet-based and distance-learning institution, these expectations apply to students participating through online platforms and electronic communication as well as students attending physical training venues. The Prospectus recognises both distance learning and satellite training venues as part of Immanuel’s educational model.

6. Representation of Immanuel

Students represent Immanuel and, as students of a Christian theological institution, are encouraged to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects the Christian values taught by the Institute.

Students should remember that their conduct can influence their Christian growth, their ministry and their witness to others.

7. Compliance

By enrolling with Immanuel Theology Educational Institute International, students acknowledge that they are expected to comply with this Student Code of Conduct.

Failure to maintain the standards expected by Immanuel may result in the Institute taking appropriate action in accordance with its applicable procedures and requirements.
