RULE I: HYGIENE AND SAFETY POLICY
Article 1: Safety guidelines
Safety is everybody’s concern. Safety instructions issued by the qualified personnel must be followed. Fire drills are conducted throughout the year and are imposed upon everyone within IAE. Safety guidelines and emergency evacuation plans are posted on each level of the establishment.
Article 2: Order and cleanliness of the School premises
Staff, students and outside personnel authorized to use the facilities of the School must ensure compliance with the requirements of the rules of usage and cleanliness of the rooms and/or any material made available.

All students must always be dressed appropriately. They shall not disturb the lectures, especially not while waiting outside the classrooms where teachings are given. Abusive behaviour, such as deterioration of the facilities and/or the equipment, providing access to unregistered guests without prior authorization, damaging the image and reputation of IAE or the University, non-compliance with the basic rules of behaviour and courtesy … will result in a prohibition on access to the establishment.

In compliance with the principles of competitive neutrality within the public higher education establishments, the exhibit of the materials, brochures, newspapers, and internal sales by a student association is subject to the prior agreement of the Dean. All requests must be submitted by the organizers to the Administrative Manager at IAE, at least 48 hours in advance.

Any posting outside the provided boards is prohibited and will be immediately removed by the Administration Office. The damage caused by illegal posting will result in sanctions against the authors involved.
Article 7: Associations
Associations wishing to place their headquarters at IAE need to submit a request to do so to the President of the University through the Dean of IAE. This request can be refused if:

· The association is open to members other than IAE staff or students;
· The statute and the head of the association are not clearly identified;
