A sense of commitment is the basic rule of

every sport or club at Saegis Campus. When a

student is into extra-curricular activities, he/she

must be committed to what they are assigned

to do and complete it under any circumstances.

The focus of Saegis Campus on Extra Curricular

activities has enabled students to perform well

in the Campus events and their participation has

Campus Rules and

Regulations

video record lectures. You may only record

lectures with prior permission from your

lecturer who will only consider special

circumstances or requirements. You may not

copy or distribute copies of the recording.

Mobile phones

Mobile phones must be switched off or keep in

„silent mode‟ during lectures. You may be asked

to leave the room for the remainder of the class

if your phone disrupts the proceedings. The use

of mobile phones is also strictly prohibited in

the Library and the IT laboratory. Please respect

other students‟ rights to study without

Student Lounge With the exception of plain

water in plastic containers, there will be

absolutely no food or drink allowed in any

classroom.

The only place you may consume food and

drink is in the cafeteria of the ground floor.

The importance of extracurricular activities

alongside an educational course curriculum

cannot be emphasized enough. We at Saegis

Campus believe that a great career can be

achieved with a balanced lifestyle when a

person is involved well in extra-curricular

activities apart from the regular academics. The

need for relaxation for a student with heavy

work- loads can be accomplished through

sports and extra-curricular activities which not

only help a young body increase its stamina, but

also refresh the mind. Saegis Campus

recognizes this need well, and incorporates a

plethora of activities including Cricket, Rugby,

Basketball, Tennis, Dancing, Music, Singing,
