By registering for a course, each student agrees to:
- Contribute to creating a positive learning environment that fosters collaboration and mutual respect;
- Demonstrate courtesy, respect, and openness toward fellow students, staff, instructors, and volunteers;
- Respect the diversity of backgrounds, cultures, perspectives, and French language proficiency levels of others;
- Refrain from any form of harassment, bullying, discrimination, violence, or offensive language or behaviour;
- Respect the Association franco-yukonnaise's facilities, equipment, and property. Any person responsible for damage caused intentionally or through negligence may be held responsible for the cost of repairs or replacement;
- Help maintain a healthy environment. Smoking or vaping (tobacco or cannabis) is prohibited inside the building and within eight metres of the building, in accordance with applicable regulations;
- Refrain from consuming or being under the influence of alcohol or drugs while on the Association franco-yukonnaise's premises.
AFY reserves the right to intervene when a person's behavior disrupts the learning environment or affects the well-being of the group. Depending on the severity of the situation, measures ranging from a warning to dismissal from the course without a refund may be applied.
