AIMST UNIVERSITY -- Student Residence Rules and Regulations (revised Sept 2007)
AIMST University firmly believes that the student
experience is enhanced by intellectual, social and cultural engagement,
nurtured by cross-cultural co-existence. Living and working with others from
different backgrounds and appreciating them can be acquired by staying within
the University campus. Students can learn to tolerate, learn from one another,
make friends and establish a support-working relationship. This will help in
the process of integration of the diverse students.
With this consideration, it has been made MANDATORY for all
students to stay in the University Student Residences or hostels for the first
half of the duration of their course of study. (Refer to Student Residence
Policy). These rules shall be known as
AIMST Student Residence Rules and Regulations 2001 (Revised 2007) and shall be
effective 1 September 2007.
