The University of Nairobi is committed to creating an environment that enables student to focus on their learning but also to realize their full potential and grow holistically (academically, socially, mentally and physically). As the University promotes this holistic development of students, there arose a need for a policy and guidelines to regulate the conduct of students while carrying out their activities on campus. This led to the revision of the Students Code of Conduct 2020 to guide students in their behavior and responsibilities as they go about their day to day activities engaging with fellow students and the wider University community. The Students Code of Conduct also enables students to express themselves freely and appreciate that their responsibilities and rights are being respected.

The aim is to produce holistic students who are responsible, honest, accountable and productive once they transit from learning to the job/entrepreneurship market and to society as a whole. This will in return foster a positive image for the University of Nairobi. Overall, the Students Code of Conduct aims to promote a conducive working environment within the University Community where everyone can learn, work and live together in peace and harmony.
