EARC Ethical Behaviour

Personal integrity is the foundation of a successful educational environment. EARC Business School’s students are expected to engage in the highest ethical behaviour. Without this orientation, the grades and degrees will lack value and meaning. We expect each EARC student to uphold the following standards of honesty, integrity and personal responsibility

Firstly, education is key to developing human capital. By providing access to quality education, people in the developing world can acquire the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to participate in the global economy. This can enable them to take advantage of new opportunities and improve their economic prospects.

Education can help to reduce poverty. Education is often seen as a pathway out of poverty, as it equips individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary to secure better-paying jobs and create income-generating opportunities for themselves and their families.

Thirdly, education can help to promote innovation and entrepreneurship. By fostering a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, education can help to create new businesses, industries, and products, which can in turn create new jobs and boost economic growth.

However, access to educational resources in the developing world is often limited due to a lack of infrastructure, funding, and resources. EARC hopes to be in a position to provide such support and services to address these issues bringing together the private sector to provide more educational resources to people in the developing world. This includes providing resources, providing teachers and educational materials, and in partnership investing in technology and infrastructure to support e-learning initiatives.

In conclusion, providing educational resources to people in the developing world is essential to increasing their economic outlook. By investing in education, we can help to reduce poverty, promote innovation, and create a brighter more ambitious future for all.

Students will not engage in dishonesty or misrepresentations.
Students will not commit plagiarism on any exam or assignment.
Students will not submit an exam or assignment written, developed or prepared by another person, entirely or in pieces without proper and honest referencing.
Students will not prevent or interfere with the learning process of others in the environment.
Students will not damage any EARC property.
Students respect EARC technology and infrastructure, as well as the green educational environment.

The purpose of this Policy is to state EARC’s position on Harassment to raise awareness amongst the EARC community of behaviour that would be considered Harassment, and to provide guidance on informal and formal means of dealing with Harassment when it occurs

EARC Fraud Policy

EARC Business School will not tolerate any fraudulent behavior, and will investigate
all instances of suspected fraud

Should an investigation provide sufficient evidence to suggest that fraud has been
committed, EARC Business School will refer the circumstances to the relevant
authorities for the purposes of investigation and possible prosecution.

EARC Business School has a zero-tolerance policy on the fraudulent use of degrees
and qualifications

It is illegal for any person to falsely represent themselves as having received a
degree from EARC Business School. According to Swiss Criminal Code Article 251,
the forgery of a document is a criminal offence that can be prosecuted under criminal
law and is punishable with imprisonment of up to five years or a monetary penalty
per offence. EARC Business School reserves the right to file criminal charges against
any individual who submits fraudulent documents in accordance with local and
international laws.

Online Publication of Degrees

In order to protect the identity of our students and minimise the risk of degree fraud, it is strictly forbidden to publish copies and/or pictures of degrees obtained at ARC Business School on the internet. In case of a violation, ARC Business School will formally request the removal of the publication followed by legal actions against the offending party.
