All the four counsellors working are clinical psychologists and come from different therapy branches. We provide support to students to deal with their emotional-behavioural issues.
Parents by default don't have access to the attendance record and academic progress of their wards. Program Office sends the monthly attendance emails to all students and parents. When parents ask for the academic progress of their ward, we do share the details.
We have about 5-6 mini and medium sized busses which work on fixed schedules on working and non-working days that students/employees have access to. And for medical emergencies we have a 24hour ambulance service.
On working days; the first bus leaves at 11:00 AM from campus, all the way till FC road with stops in between, with the last bus at 8:00 PM. Over the course of the day, there are about 7 times that the buses take a couple of routes starting from campus till FC road. The bus services also pick up students from FC road at designated pick up points that brings them back to the campus.
A detailed bus/travel schedule on working and non-working is given to the students.
Ola/Uber options are as safe or unsafe as the person using it believes it to be. We provide college transport at regular intervals for the convenience of students. However, we’ve never had any reported incidents of issues while using these cab services. Also, since we’re located on the hill the frequency of finding uber/ola cabs can be slightly irregular.
As part of our efforts to always put student safety first, the revised timing for students to be back on campus shall be 12.00 am (midnight). However, the time by which students should be inside their respective hostels shall be 02.00 am. Being anywhere on campus, other than inside the apartment of the respective allotted room, beyond 02:00am would be considered as a violation of this norm.
FLAME University maintains a zero-tolerance policy on drug abuse by students. FLAME University prohibits the unlawful manufacture, sale, distribution, possession, or use of illegal drugs, or unauthorized use of prescription drugs.
It is mandatory for a student to provide, if required, samples of urine, blood, and breath or to allow officers to medically examine them. If the report shows positive results, the student will be required to bear the expenses of the Laboratory test. Refusal to take a test will be construed as an admission of guilt.
A case of drug abuse will be reported directly to the Vice-Chancellor of FLAME University and handled by a Special Panel comprising the DISCOM Chair, the Dean concerned and the Registrar. In all such cases the decision of the Vice-Chancellor will be final and the laws of the land shall be followed.
Any student found involved in any of the above acts with regard to drugs shall have to leave campus immediately pending confirmation of the punishment by the Vice-Chancellor after due investigation and recommendations by the specially constituted panel.
