The University provides the best education possible to enable the students to get the most from all aspects of life at the University. In this context, however, it is important that the students realize the symbiotic nature of this relationship and accept the responsibility inherent in this joint venture. Ragging, use of drugs, drug trafficking, eve-teasing, physical assault / violence of any sort, etc. are criminal offences and are strictly forbidden. Persons found indulging in such activities will be subjected to strict disciplinary action including expulsion from the University, besides other measures under the law of the land. "The Cochin University Students (Conduct and Disciplinary) Code-2005" will be applicable to all students of the University and all its recognized institutions as per order No. Ac.A1/Disciplinary Actions/2004 Dated 18-07-05. The students who indulge in ragging will be strictly dealt with. If any incident of ragging comes to the notice of the authorities, the student concerned (accused of indulged in ragging) will be given liberty to explain and if his /her explanation is not found satisfactory, he/she will be expelled from the institution. The Syndicate of the University at its 480th meeting held on 18.12.2004 decided to evolve a code of conduct for the students studying in the University and to implement the Judgment of the Honorable High Court in R.P.No.435/2003.
