Students have the right to a higher education with supports that promote success. Students have rights and responsibilities that they must adhere to. It is a personal commitment that will encourage behaviour that demonstrates the 7 Grandfather Teachings that Aboriginal people enjoy. Colleges also define the consequences of breaches by students from behavioural standards.

• Let us listen to each person's ideas with respect and accept with grace any differences of opinion and corrections,
• In expressing our views, let us be mindful that our colleagues too have many demands on their time and so do not keep them unduly,
• In discussing issues and ideas, let us keep our focus on the merits of each perspective,
• When we must seek or provide clarification, let us do so in a way that maintains the persons dignity and neither raise our voice in anger to them, nor show disrespect towards anyone, whatever his or her stance.

• Let us all share our time, energy and talents with our leaders and peers to facilitate our unit.
• When success proves elusive, let us ask not "who is to blame?" but "how can we help to ensure greater success in the future?"

Wisdom and Love

• Let us learn the need to balance work and play, and to take the time to nurture our whole being.
• Let us neither confounf an idea's popularity with its wisdom nor construe a difference of opinion as disrespect or enmity.
• In making decisions, let us strive to think clearly and with foresight, and to avoid making promises we cannot keep.
• Let not mistake the ideal of consensus as a sanction of coercion.
• If we must say "NO", let us ensure that is is for the right reasons and when doing so, that we treat the person with dignity.

Humility

• Let us remember that we choose not the gifts we have, but only how we use those given to us by the Creator.
• When called upon to lead, let us be mindful of our humanity while striving to give the best of ourselves to the entity we serve.
• Let us consider with humility suggestions another may give us, and promptly acknowledge any misunderstandings.

Honour and Courage

• Let us deal honourably with all, those who share our ideas, and those who do not have the same history or outlook or gifts.
• Let us have the courage to say "no" when necessary, even though it is not what someone wants to hear.
• Let us have the grace to admit when we have erred, to apologize to anyone adversely affected by our mistake, to bear the consequences, of our misstep without rancour, and to accept the lesions experience offers.

ONLY WHEN WE WORK IN THIS WAY, CAN WE SAY WITH TRUTH, "JOB WELL DONE".
