These are some very basic and general rules that IRAS staff and students are asked to follow. Most of the rules are evident for any university setting, but we have written them down to make sure everyone understands that they are not to be broken:

1. Everyone should become acquainted with the University regulations and our IRAS website  for important information regarding our programme, news, events, courses and other University rules.
2. Please respect our office hours which are Monday-Thursday 9-14:00 and Fridays 9-12:00.
3. We have a dress code at IRAS. Please wear appropriate clothing to lectures, seminars and exams to not offend other students or staff.  This includes wearing clothes that cover sensitive parts of the body.
4. Class attendance is a prerequisite to taking the exams. A list will be passed around in each class to check regular attendance.
5. Sick days and absences require a Doctor’s note brought to class or sent to the office.
6. Reading assignments are mandatory and all the reading material can be either found online or in the libraries, as instructed by lecturer.
7. We will not tolerate any late arrivals at either classes or exams. Tardiness disrupts lectures, and tardy students will not be allowed to join unless they have a legitimate excuse.
8. We expect all students to arrive before the official beginning of the University course session and to depart after the official examination session has closed.  We expect all students to attend the full semester of classes.
9. At IRAS, we discourage the use of computers during class time. On the other hand, we will forbid the use of any mobile phones, as these are not necessary study tools and simply disrupt class.
10. Exams, exam timetables and exam rules of conduct are not to be negotiated. Exceptions to the rules will not be given. There is no second chances, other than those stipulated in the regulations,  to obtain the desired mark. 
11. Emailing professors is considered appropriate when this is a form of communication. However, sending  last minute emails about absences is not appropriate, unless there is an emergency. Please address professor in an official way.
12. Attendance in tutorial classes is mandatory for all 1st year students regardless of any circumstances.
13. Any form of racism and/or prejudices will absolutely not be tolerated in or out of the classroom at IRAS. This includes joking or making fun of anyone in the programme and outside of it.
14. IRAS has its own Facebook page, which we ask you to take part in and check for information. FB/UJIRAS.
