Three students in school uniforms work through open books at a classroom table, with textbooks and stationery nearby and study notes on the whiteboard behind them.

Where Can I Find ITE and Polytechnic Student Code of Conduct Information?

Start with the official student code of conduct or student handbook published by the student’s own institution. ITE students can use the ITE Student Code of Conduct, which covers expectations including attendance, behaviour, social media, academic integrity, safety, overseas conduct and disciplinary matters.

Polytechnic students should use their institution’s current page, such as the Republic Polytechnic Student Code of Conduct, Singapore Polytechnic Code of Conduct or Nanyang Polytechnic Student Conduct page. Follow any linked regulations or handbook pages for the detailed procedure.

Check the scope before relying on a single paragraph: rules may apply on campus, online, during internships, at CCA activities and while representing the institution overseas. If an incident or disciplinary notice is involved, read the current reporting, response and appeal instructions from that institution instead of assuming another school’s process applies.

What should students and parents check?

Read the exact section relevant to the question. Conduct pages can cover respect and safety, attendance, attire, identification, use of facilities, bullying and harassment, social media, academic honesty, smoking or vaping, overseas activities and incident reporting. Examination rules may sit on a separate page, so a general conduct code may not contain every assessment requirement.

Distinguish principles from enforceable procedure. A code often explains expected behaviour, while linked regulations or a disciplinary policy explains investigation, possible outcomes and appeal routes. For example, RP’s public page links to its disciplinary policy, while SP separates its general code from disciplinary rules and regulations.

Use the version that is current for the institution and programme. Do not rely on an old downloaded handbook if the live page has changed. If the matter concerns an internship, overseas programme, laboratory or CCA, check whether an additional agreement or safety rule also applies.

What is the practical next step?

Save the official page and any linked policy, note the review date, and contact the named lecturer, personal mentor, school office, student-services team or reporting channel. For a formal notice, record the issue, date received, response deadline and documents requested. Ask for clarification in writing if the applicable rule or route is unclear.

For related student-life questions, see our guides to ITE and polytechnic counselling services and the ITE, polytechnic and university progression pathway. Support services can help a student understand next steps, but they do not replace the institution’s formal disciplinary process.

Explore the connected learning guides

Choose the question that brought you here. Open one useful guide, try a small task, and stop when you have what you need.

Take one question further

The same learning habit can travel across subjects, while each subject keeps its own methods. These routes help you notice a difficulty, understand one part of it, and return to something you can do.

A word is familiar, but using it is difficult.

Move from recognising a word to retrieving it in a new context. Understand vocabulary plateaus.

Try it without the guide: Choose one word you already know. Close the guide and use it in a new sentence. Explain why it fits; try another context tomorrow.

A piece of writing has ideas, but the reader loses the thread.

Make the order of events and the links between sentences clear. Explore composition writing.

Try it without the guide: Choose one short paragraph. Read the relevant explanation, close it, and revise the paragraph. Ask someone to tell you what happened and why.

The Mathematics seems familiar, but marks still disappear.

Find the first point where the working stops being reliable. Find Secondary 4 A-Math mark leakage.

Try it without the guide: For a Secondary 4 A-Math question you have attempted, locate the first uncertain line. Repair that step, then try a comparable question without the worked answer.

A Science fact is remembered, but the explanation is incomplete.

Connect the evidence to a scientific idea and the resulting change. Follow the Primary Science learning route.

Try it without the guide: Choose a familiar Primary Science example. Explain the evidence, the idea and the result without notes. Then change one condition and explain your prediction.

Two accounts of the world seem to disagree.

Check the question, source, date and evidence before combining claims. Explore the World Knowledge research library.

Try it without the guide: Take one claim. Find the source best placed to support it, note its date, and state what remains uncertain. Return to your original question.

There is plenty of help, but independence is hard to see.

Check what the learner can understand and do after support is removed. Understand how education works.

Try it without the guide: Choose one small task the child has practised. Agree on a calm, brief attempt without prompts. Use what happens to choose one next step, then stop.
