City University of Hong Kong aims to provide a harmonious and supportive environment for teaching and learning. Students are expected to treat all other students and members of the University community with honesty, respect and maintain good conduct in student discipline. Students need to observe the Code of Student Conduct and other rules and regulations which are crucial in making the University an excellent place for learning.

The Office of the Vice-President (Student Affairs) provides secretarial services to the University's Student Discipline Committee and Student Discipline Panels. The Student Discipline Committee advises the Academic Policy Committee on policies and procedures on student discipline. Student Discipline Panels are formed on a need basis to consider individual cases of violation of student conduct.

The Student Discipline Committee (SDC) is appointed by the Academic Policy Committee. The SDC will meet normally once per year but the Chair of SDC shall have the discretion to dispense with the holding of a meeting when there is no major issue within the terms of reference of the SDC. Without limiting the power and/or discretion of the Chair to dispense with the holding of an SDC meeting, the SDC, with the permission of its Chair, may transact its business by the circulation of papers.
