Code of Conduct
Blue Lotus College is committed to equal opportunity for all, regardless of gender, religion, culture, race, sexual orientation, age, disability, or socio-economic status. Learners must uphold these rights for all, and treat others fairly and with courtesy. They should maintain an environment that is free from all forms of intimidation and discrimination, and which supports everybody's access to learning without interference from others. All Learners can expect to work in a place that is safe, clean, orderly, and cooperative. Personal and institute property must be respected and protected from damage or misuse.
Academic Integrity
Blue Lotus College holds its Learners to strict standards of behavior. Allegations of plagiarism, collusion, and cheating will be investigated and where infringement is proven, any marks gained will be overturned and the VET unit of competency must be retaken. The Learner is responsible for any associated charges this incurs. Further and continued incidents will result in suspension or expulsion. All work submitted must be the Learner's own in order to accurately represent their level of competence. Read the full Plagiarism and Cheating Policy.
