Know Your Responsibilities

As a student of Villa College, you have the opportunity to excel in an area of study and contribute to society. This requires dedication and hard work. We expect our students to take responsibility for their own learning. Self-study is an essential element of higher education. For every contact hour, we expect our students to spend at least TWO hours on self-study. Seeking support and guidance from all faculties and engaging in dialogue is an essential part of your study. Professional growth and practical application of what you learn is a central objective of your study.

• Respect knowledge, scholarship, and truth and to act with honesty and integrity at all levels of academic life.
