6.3 Students are expected to attend all sessions and (note:) complete up to one hour per week of activities (on top of course attendance), as set by the tutor.

7. BULLYING, HARASSMENT & DISCRIMINATION POLICY
King’s School of Theology seeks to be an institution free of bullying, harassment and discrimination. In signing up to this course you agree to align with the following:
7.1. Behaviour
7.1.1. Students should behave in a reasonable and responsible manner with consideration for other members of the KST community. They should refrain from any conduct likely to disrupt the academic, administrative or domestic functions of the programme.
7.2. Harassment
7.2.1. Harassment is an unacceptable form of behaviour. KST is committed to protecting members, staff, tutors, mentors and any other person for whom we have special responsibility from any form of harassment which might inhibit them from their work or studies.
7.3. Harassment may be broadly understood to consist of unwarranted behaviour towards another person, so as to disrupt the work or reduce quality of life of that person, by such successive acts of bullying, verbally or physically abusing, creating or maintaining a hostile or offensive studying, working, or social environment for him or her. Harassment relating to another’s sex or race are among forms of harassment covered by this code.
7.4. If a participant is deemed unreasonably disruptive or unable to abide by these guidelines by the course tutor or moderator, a verbal warning will be given, and if behaviour does not change they will be exited from the zoom room.
