EGI Student Code of Conduct

ECA Graduate Institute is based on the principles of equity, mutual respect and shared responsibility, and prides itself on the diversity of its students and staff. EGI expects students to understand and meet these basic principles of behaviour. To assist in meeting these objectives EGI has established clear standards for student’s interpersonal and academic conduct.

Anti-Discrimination and Equal Opportunity EGI is committed to ensuring that all students have equal opportunities and are free from discrimination on any of the following grounds: race, colour, nationality, ethnic or ethno-religious background, gender, religious beliefs, age, marital status, pregnancy, sexual orientation and/or disability. In ensuring that these objectives are met EGI is guided by the Commonwealth (Australian) anti-discrimination legislation, the Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission, New South Wales anti-discrimination and the Anti-Discrimination Board of NSW. These commitments apply equally to all EGI staff and students, and we all have a responsibility to treat everyone else fairly and without discrimination.

The EGI National Principal and/or Course Coordinators are responsible for EGI compliance and for ensuring these commitments are met, and investigating any examples of unfair and discriminatory behaviour, and any complaints about unfair or discriminatory behaviour. If you believe that you have been discriminated against and treated unfairly you should first try to resolve the problem informally, but if this fails you are encouraged to make a formal complaint by filling in the EGI Student Complaint Form. Privacy and Use of personal information During your application and enrolment EGI collected personal and health information, such as academic history, financial and other personal details, in order to meet our obligations under the ESOS Act and the National Code 2007; and to ensure that students comply with the conditions of their visas and their obligations under Australian immigration laws generally. EGI has to ensure compliance with relevant Commonwealth (Australian) and New South Wales Privacy legislation, especially the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (PPIP Act).

EGI and Education Centre of Australia acts to ensure that this personal information is protected against loss, unauthorised access, use, modification or disclosure, other misuse, as required by law and generally accepted industry standards. However, no system is 100% secure and to the extent permitted by law, ECA and EGI exclude any liability in contract, tort or otherwise for any security breach. The privacy laws and regulations laws of Australia and New South Wales require and authorise ECA and EGI to provide certain information to the Australian Government, designated authorities and the TPS. In certain identified instances the laws require and/or authorise the disclosure of information collected on your Application Form or during your enrolment without your consent.

EGI and ECA may engage other companies to provide services, such as an offshore cloud-based electronic storage service, and those companies may require access to personal information to perform the service. It should be noted that when such disclosures are made to entities located outside Australia they are not required to comply with Australian privacy laws. EGI staff at times may require access to students’ personal information. Such access will be restricted to those staff who need the information in order to carry out their responsibilities in the personal and/or academic interests of students. If a student is alleged to have committed an offence, EGI and/or ECA may be requested to assist the police or other authorized persons by providing personal information about that student for enforcement of the law. In a situation where disclosure of your personal information is necessary to prevent or lessen a serious and or imminent threat to your life or health or the life or health of another person, the disclosure of information will be approved by the Principal Executive Officer of ECA.

EGI will not release any information it holds about students aged 18 years and over to other parties, even to parents or close relatives, without securing prior permission from the student. You are required to contact us if your personal and contact details change, or if you believe the information we have about you is not accurate. You may seek access to personal and health information held by EGI and ECA by contacting the Student Services office. Formal access applications under the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act can be made to the ECA Graduate Institute’s National Principal. EGI takes all reasonable steps to destroy hard copies of personal information that are no longer required, and destruction of personal information is undertaken by secured means.
