Regulations for recognition of student organisation
The code of conduct contains general agreements about the desired culture as a guideline for all student associations, faculty and study associations, sport associations and other student organisations. This code of conduct is part of the Recognition regulations, whereby associations receive grants and can make use of facilities at Erasmus University.
If you have questions about the code of conduct, please contact the contact person Bram Henssen.
Code of conduct
As a student organization you can use various facilities of the university, such as booking available rooms via Room and Facilities Bookings.
The student social associations that organize an introduction with a hazing character, are in contact with the HO student association committee. They organise a dialogue with the associations to make them aware of what is and what is not acceptable and encourage them to make the introduction safe. The associations also have a code of conduct for this, which they sign together with EUR, Hogeschool Rotterdam and Hogeschool InHolland.
Code of conduct introduction period
We would also like to point out a number of practical matters that apply to all EUR students. As board you might have to deal with these issues, such as help for students with psychological problems, the EUR confidential counsellor in the event of harassment and the EUR policy about diversity and inclusion.
