Lifelong Learning Access Policy
Gulf University for Science and Technology upholds an Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Policy that ensures equitable access to all learning and professional development opportunities. Guided by the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion, GUST provides fair access to educational resources, training, and lifelong learning programs for all individuals, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender, nationality, disability, socioeconomic background, or immigration status. This policy guarantees that every member of the university community can participate fully and without discrimination, supporting SDG 4.3.5 by promoting lifelong learning that is truly inclusive and accessible to all.
Student Code of Conduct
GUST is committed to providing a positive work and learning environment where all individuals are treated fairly and with respect. Intimidation and harassment have no place in a university community.
It is the responsibility of the University to utilize its resources toward the creation of quality academic programs and to provide a friendly campus environment, which is conducive to learning and personal development. Interactions among GUST students, faculty, and staff should reflect mutual respect and professionalism.
A student enrolled at GUST assumes an obligation to behave in a manner compatible with the University’s function as an educational institution. The GUST Code of Student Conduct generally shall be limited to conduct which occurs on the University premises, at University-sponsored, or University-supervised functions. However, GUST administration may take appropriate action against students for conduct on or off University premises in order to protect the physical safety of students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Conduct, for which students are subject to sanctions, is described in detail in the University Code of Student Conduct.
Maintaining a Positive Work and Learning Environment
Gulf University for Science and Technology is committed to providing a positive work and learning environment where all individuals are treated fairly and with respect, regardless of their status. Intimidation and harassment have no place in a university community.
To honor the dignity and inherent worth of every individual member of the GUST community is a goal to which every member of the University should aspire and to which officials of the University should direct attention and resources. With respect to students, it is the University’s special responsibility to provide a positive climate in which students can learn. The Board of Trustees and all of GUST’s staff and faculty are expected to provide educational programs and otherwise direct resources to creative and serious measures designed to improve interpersonal relationships, to help develop healthy attitudes towards people, and to foster a climate in which students are treated as individuals rather than as members of a particular category of people and where learning is strongly valued.
People of Disabilities
GUST takes its commitment to inclusivity further by ensuring that its facilities are accessible to individuals with disabilities. Wheelchair ramps, accessible restrooms, and other accommodations are readily available, ensuring that everyone can navigate the campus with ease and dignity.
